Collaborate with the R&S Team (Director/Manager) to develop structures and storylines aligned with opportunity objectives and donor/funder/client process requirements.
Take ownership of copywriting and develop compelling grant and contract proposals for public and private sector clients, articulating our unique value proposition, technical capabilities, product applicability, and overall impact on the client organization, and in the case of grants, impact on the end-users/beneficiaries.
