Senior Proposal Solutions and Writer

GDIT is currently seeking a Senior Proposal Solutions and Writer to join our team! This hybrid position must be local to the National Capital Region and work in our Falls Church office or other GDIT locations at least three (3+) days per week.

This role operates above individual proposal execution—driving consistency, risk management, and measurable improvements in win performance across the proposal portfolio.

The Senior Proposal Solutions and Writer partners closely with Capture, Solution Architecture, Pricing, and Proposal Leadership to translate customer priorities into clear, compliant, and compelling proposals across the entire GDIT enterprise. This role also plays a key part in mentoring senior staff, refining proposal processes, and evolving how proposal organizations operate in increasingly complex and AI-enabled environments.

• Partner with Capture and Solution teams to ensure proposals clearly articulate people, process, and tools
• Shape win themes, discriminators, and proof points for management and technical volumes that align to customer mission priorities and evaluation criteria
