Senior RFP & RFI Proposal Writer Government & Federal Contracts – Dubai Office (Night Shift)
Location: Dubai, UAE
Job Type: Full-time, Night Shift (aligned with Los Angeles working hours)
Position Overview
We are seeking a senior-level RFP/RFI Proposal Writer to join our UAE office and support proposal processes for U.S. government and federal clients. You will work in close coordination with our Chatsworth, CA headquarters team of 4–6 procurement professionals, contributing to competitive submissions, improving win rates, and helping us win more U.S. federal contracts.
Training & Team Environment
RFP experience is required — you must know how to put a proposal together from start to finish.
No U.S. government contracting experience? That's okay — we will train you on U.S. federal requirements from A to Z. But you must come with solid RFP/RFI proposal writing experience and the ability to learn quickly, adapt fast, and catch on to new ideas with ease.
Working from our UAE office, you will collaborate daily with a dedicated team of 4–6 procurement professionals at our U.S. headquarters in Chatsworth, CA. Together, you will also conduct regular competitive analysis — reviewing competitors' winning proposals to understand what they did differently, why they won, and how we can apply those lessons to build stronger, more winning submissions. We are looking for someone sharp, driven, and ready to hit the ground running. If you know proposals and you're a quick learner, we will take care of the rest.
Core Responsibilities
Lead the full proposal lifecycle from solicitation review to final submission
Interpret complex U.S. federal RFP/RFI requirements and ensure full compliance
Develop clear, structured, and persuasive proposal content aligned with FAR/DFARS requirements
Collaborate with U.S. headquarters team to gather and refine technical and operational information
Manage multiple concurrent proposals under strict deadlines across time zones
Maintain and enhance templates, content libraries, and internal processes
Review and analyze competitors' winning proposals to identify strategies and differentiators — using those insights to continuously improve our submissions and develop more competitive, winning RFPs
Required Qualifications
Minimum 3+ years of hands-on RFP/RFI proposal writing experience — you must know how to build a proposal from scratch (this is non-negotiable)
Must be a quick learner with the ability to absorb new information, catch on to ideas fast, and apply them immediately
U.S. government/federal contract experience is a plus but not required — we will train you on U.S. requirements
Demonstrated ability to independently manage complete proposal submissions
Strong knowledge of procurement processes and compliance requirements
Advanced English writing, editing, and formatting skills
Ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced, cross-timezone environment
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in U.S. government contracting, defense, or regulated security industries
Familiarity with SAM.gov, beta.SAM, or GovWin bid platforms
What Sets You Apart
You know RFPs inside and out and can build a winning submission from scratch
You pick up new processes, tools, and ideas quickly and run with them
Strong attention to detail and organizational discipline across complex submissions
Ability to present technical and operational information in a clear and compelling way
Proactive collaboration skills that bridge time zones and cultures
You bring ideas to the table that make the whole team better
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary based on experience
Performance-based incentives tied to proposal win rates
Key role in company growth and U.S. federal contract acquisition
Flexible schedule with core overlap hours aligned to U.S. team
