WHO WE ARE

Edmentum is a dynamic educator and student-focused company dedicated to tech-enabled learning solutions. Our goal is to ensure that all students have access to flexible learning environments and educators have the tools they need to support their students. We are on a mission to create innovative, proven learning technology, partnering with educators to ignite student potential. We are a Remote First organization with a strong commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

What You'll Do

At Edmentum, winning the opportunity to serve students and educators starts with a compelling story, and as our Proposal Specialist, you'll be the one telling it. You'll own the proposal process from start to finish, turning complex RFPs into clear, persuasive, and winning responses that open doors for our mission. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for a skilled writer and project coordinator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes real pride in the craft of their work.

In this role you will:

  • Lead end-to-end proposal development, from RFP analysis and work assignment through final production and submission, ensuring every response is compliant, compelling, and on time.
  • Write, edit, and refine proposal content, including both customized and boilerplate sections, with sharp attention to voice, messaging, and style.
  • Coordinate cross-functional proposal teams, partnering with SMEs across the organization to gather insights and craft persuasive, solution-specific content.
  • Maintain and grow Edmentum's proposal knowledge base, developing new content and keeping existing materials accurate and up to date.
  • Track and report RFP activity metrics, including submission timelines and win/loss outcomes, to inform strategy and continuous improvement.
  • Support client opportunity tracking and serve as a collaborative resource for peer review across the proposal team.

Who You Are

  • You have a bachelor's degree, ideally in English, Technical Communication, or a related Communications field.
  • You have proven experience in proposal, business, marketing, or technical writing in a corporate setting.
  • You are skilled at analyzing RFP requirements and building structured, compliant, and persuasive responses from the ground up.
  • You are an exceptional communicator, both in writing and in conversation, with a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy.
  • You are able to work independently, manage competing deadlines, and deliver high-quality work under pressure.
  • You are highly organized, with strong time management skills and the judgment to set priorities and escalate when needed.
  • You have experience working directly with technical and non-technical experts to translate complex information into clear, engaging content.
  • You are proficient in Microsoft Office Suite with advanced MS Word skills; experience with Qvidian, RFPIO, or Adobe tools is a plus.
  • You are a resourceful researcher who can quickly get up to speed on unfamiliar topics to produce accurate, credible writing.
  • You are energized by collaboration and bring a team-first mindset to everything you do.
  • You are willing to take on evolving responsibilities based on business needs.
