Strategic Medicaid Proposal Writer

Company:

Marsh

Description:

At Marsh, we make a difference in the lives of more than 110 million people every day by advancing their health, wealth, and careers. We’re in the business of creating exciting and rewarding futures for our clients and their employees — whether we’re designing affordable health plans, securing finances for retirement, or aligning employees with workforce strategy.

The Strategic Medicaid Proposal Writer will play a critical role in strengthening Marsh’s pursuit readiness, improving the quality and consistency of proposal content, and increasing the efficiency of our sales and proposal teams. This role will focus on pre-RFP planning and prewriting activities, including tailoring strategic, compliant, and client-centered content for future RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, and scope expansion opportunities. The writer will continuously build knowledge of GHSC, our services, clients, and industry best practices to develop thoughtful content that reflects Marsh’s differentiation, innovation, and value for specific clients and opportunities. This proposal writer will build strong working relationships with GHC client managers, proposal peers, solution consultants, subject matter experts (SMEs), and the content manager to support business goals to win, expand, and retain business.

We will count on you to:

• Support the content manager in developing and refining reusable content that can be tailored for future proposals
• Partner with business and client leaders, proposal peers, and SMEs to understand client needs, identify content needs, outline key messages, and prepare draft responses in advance of active procurements
• Translate broad, reusable content into customized, client-relevant messaging that reflects Marsh's value proposition, differentiation, and strategic positioning
• Conduct qualitative and quantitative research to strengthen content with client-specific insights, market context, and solution-oriented messaging
• Support pre-RFP planning activities, including pursuit strategy discussions, content planning, message development, and readiness reviews
• Develop content that aligns with internal quality standards, brand, style, tone, and commonly used industry and client terminology
• When needed, support active proposal efforts by adapting prewritten content into compliant and compelling final responses

What’s in it for you?

• We are the national leader in Medicaid consulting
• Opportunity to engage across Mercer to understand and deliver a depth of services to government-based clients
• World-class training opportunities for personal and career development

What you need to have:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• Five plus years of experience in proposal writing, strategic writing, business writing, or related content development
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously
• Excellent oral and written communication skills and keen attention to detail

What Makes You Stand Out:

• Curiosity and eagerness to inspire others, investigate, learn, collaborate, and innovate, while bringing a positive, flexible attitude
• Demonstrated ability to work well across departments and teams
• Prior Medicaid or governmental proposal development experience
