À propos
We are honored to be named a Top Workplace by the Detroit Free Press for eightconsecutive years! Here at KL&A, we love what we do and believe that our employees are our greatest asset which is why we search for the best and brightest (and perhaps the most caffeinated) of the bunch.
KL&A is a remote-first company, providing employees with the flexibility to choose their ideal work environment. Staff in Michigan have the option to work from our welcoming office space, from the comfort of their homes, or a combination of the two. For employees outside of Michigan, remote work is the default, and we enthusiastically welcome applicants from across the country to join our team. No matter where you’re located, you’ll have the tools and support to thrive in your preferred setting—whether it’s a home office, a cozy couch, or anywhere else that inspires productivity.
Who You Are: You love building relationships with team members, want to write persuasive and narrative content, and collaboratively produce high-quality, winning proposals. You are a logical thinker who enjoys analysis, organizing, and planning, and your attention to detail is so good it’s scary. You can be a client-advocate who thinks about how to make proposal evaluation easy for the reader. You enjoy collaborating with those around you but can also accomplish tasks as a solo artist. You’re able to seamlessly transition from one task to the next without skipping a beat, as well as juggle multiple tasks when necessary. Continuous learning is important to you, and you are eager to learn a new and engaging skill set that will allow you to grow your career in the proposal world. You’re personable, self-motivated, and love lending a hand to your colleagues.
About the Role: As a Junior Proposal Writer, you’ll work closely with the Proposal Manager, technical subject matter experts, content contributors, teammates, and business development leaders. You will participate in many stages of the proposal development lifecycle (PDLC) from solicitation analysis through content development, review and editing, to final production. You’ll work closely with contributors, especially technical solution teams, to ensure all contributed content is well-written, meets standards, and, most importantly, clearly demonstrates how the proposed solution meets the client’s needs. Experience in the software or product development world is a bonus that will help you identify areas within a technical narrative that may require additional detail or seem confusing to evaluators. In between proposals, you’ll work with the Proposal Manager to ensure content assets are created or updated, maintaining a high-quality, robust library. This position is remote-eligible with a work schedule compatible with the Eastern Time Zone.
