    • Write/support other proposal sections (Management Approach, Past Performance) as agreed according to specific contract and proposal requirements.

    • Subject matter expertise in one of McCO's 3 service areas: professional training and capacity building, advisory and technical consulting, and research and analysis.
    • At least 5 years' experience as a lead technical writer on winning bids for U.S. government clients, especially DOD, DOS and DOI.
    • Demonstrated capability to successfully design innovative, practical, and viable technical solutions for federal proposals.
    • Excellent ability to work flexibly as part of a team in a fast-paced environment with tight and fluctuating deadlines.
