How You’ll Make this Internship Opportunity Your Own  

We are looking for a driven and detail‑oriented Technical Writer with strong technical curiosity and exceptional persuasive writing skills.

In this role, you will play a critical part in shaping competitive, compliant, and compelling proposals that support major federal IT acquisitions and recompetes. You will take ownership of complex tasks, collaborate with technical and operational leaders, and help position GDIT with strategies and content that stand out in a competitive marketplace.

You thrive in environments where accuracy, clarity, and strategic thinking matter. You’re confident engaging with subject matter experts, comfortable interpreting solicitation requirements, and committed to producing well‑structured, high‑quality material that reflects GDIT’s mission and capabilities.

A Day in the Life 

• Craft concise, solution-focused responses, primarily supporting IT enterprise acquisitions in areas like Software Development, Data Science, Systems, and Cloud Engineering.
• Conduct research and integrate content from technical SMEs, past proposals, and publicly available sources.
• Manage the entire proposal process, including timelines and submission requirements.
• Assist in final production of proposal content, to include editing and formatting.
• Work with internal and external writers that include teaming partners, subject matter experts, project managers, and solution architects to produce proposal content.
• Develop and maintain proposal trackers, compliance matrices, and schedules to keep contributors aligned and deliverables on time.
• Develop staffing matrices for proposal submissions, including mapping labor categories, estimating level of effort, and aligning personnel qualifications with project requirements to support competitive and compliant bids.
• Support the development of cost volumes for proposal submissions, including gathering pricing data, preparing cost models, and ensuring alignment with solicitation requirements, pricing strategies, and compliance standards.
• Participate in special projects as required.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCCEED

• Strong research skills, with the ability to synthesize information from various sources to support proposal content.
• Ability to build meaningful relationships with managers and members of your team. 
• Be self-aware enough to identify and correct your mistakes and not be afraid to ask for help when needed.
• Apply strong organizational skills to juggle multiple competing deadlines across simultaneous proposal efforts.
• Basic understanding of Microsoft Office products (e.g., Word, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Excel, and Teams).

The Must-Haves 

• Bachelor’s or master's degree program in English, Communications, or a related field from a United States-based college or university. 
• Superior writing, editing, and proofreading skills with an ability to grasp and articulate concepts succinctly.
• Ability to interpret solicitation documents (SOWs) and help ensure compliance with proposal requirements.
• Basic understanding of fundamental IT enterprise concepts (e.g., cloud, infrastructure, software development), with the ability to follow technical discussions and convey concepts in proposals.

What Will Make You a Stand-Out Candidate 

• Understanding of proposal lifecycle tools (e.g., Shipley concepts, compliance checklists, proposal templates).
• Experience using collaboration tools for coordinating large-volume submissions (e.g., Excel trackers, SharePoint libraries, Teams channels).
• Experience integrating AI-enabled tools into proposal workflows while maintaining quality and compliance
