  • Write, edit, and structure proposal content tailored to specific client requirements and evaluation criteria.
  • Manage the full proposal lifecycle—from planning and research to submission—ensuring timeliness and accuracy.
  • Develop and maintain a centralized repository of reusable content to improve efficiency and consistency.
  • Conduct research on public sector regulations, industry trends, and policy developments to strengthen proposal positioning.
  • Interview subject matter experts to extract technical details and translate them into clear, persuasive language.
  • Contribute to process improvements that enhance the quality, compliance, and success rate of future bids.

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum of two years of professional writing experience in journalism, editing, or creative communication.
  • Degree in Communications, Marketing, PR, or a related field.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a strong ability to articulate business value clearly.
  • High level of precision and dedication to producing polished, error-free documents.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and meet tight deadlines.

Nice to Have

  • Experience writing bid proposals for public or private sector tenders.
  • Familiarity with bid development frameworks and best practices in proposal management.
  • Demonstrated success contributing to winning proposals in competitive environments.
  • Ability to distill complex technical or operational information into accessible content.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll play a key role in shaping how we present our solutions to public sector clients, directly influencing our ability to win meaningful work. Your writing will help communicate the impact of our services and support our mission to expand access to technology education globally.

Work Environment

This is a flexible, remote-friendly position. You’ll have the freedom to work from anywhere, supported by tools and practices designed for asynchronous collaboration. We value autonomy, accountability, and continuous learning.

As part of your growth, you’ll have access to part-time enrollment in coding bootcamps—deepening your technical understanding and expanding your skill set. You’ll collaborate with professionals from leading tech and education organizations, contributing to a vision that bridges talent and opportunity across Africa, Europe, and the US.
