We are looking for a junior Technical Writer / Business Analyst who can turn complex technical and program information into clear, well-organized documentation and translate stakeholder needs into requirements development teams can act on.

• Contributing to proposal and reporting efforts, including status reports, briefing materials, and slide decks.
• 2–4 years of professional experience in technical writing, business analysis, or a blended documentation and requirements role.
