Contract Legal Writer (Remote)

Our mission is to create phone-free spaces that deepen human connection and elevate shared experiences. Yondr’s business segments span numerous industries, primarily across education and live events. Yondr supports schools through cell phone-free programs. Our education programs facilitate the successful implementation of phone-free school environments by providing administrators and teachers with education, training, and development resources, along with all necessary equipment. In addition, Yondr supports top artists in music and comedy by creating phone-free shows, allowing performers and audience members to enjoy live performances without the distraction of phones.
Yondr is building a dedicated RFP Team, and its success depends on an experienced team of motivated and highly skilled RFP Writers.
As a member of the RFP Team, you will write Yondrs end-to-end responses to district, state, and cooperative solicitations, including but not limited to customized and compelling cover letters, executive summaries, program descriptions, technical approach, implementation and training narratives, references, and the district-specific case for why the Yondr Program is the best aligned support in response to the RFP.
You will maintain the response content library and coordinate between the RFP Manager and other department contacts to ensure each response includes the most relevant aligned content to support the win rate and drive partnerships.
Solicitation Analysis and Response Development
Review and analyze each solicitation to build a complete requirement inventory: scope of services, proposal instructions, mandatory forms and certifications, page limits, tab structure, formatting specifications, submission instructions, and the evaluation criteria with their evaluation and scoring criteria.
Distinguish the districts requirements from the standard template language through research and past partnership data if applicable.
Identify compliance risks before drafting begins, including licensure requirements, insurance or bonding thresholds, registrations, and certifications that must be obtained from a third party within the response window.
Proposal Writing and District-Specific Positioning
Draft complete submissions including customized cover letters, executive summaries, program descriptions, technical approach, implementation and training plans, staffing and support narratives, and references.
Create written language from Yondrs position as an established national provider with a decade of operating history, more than three million students served, and existing recognition among district evaluators.
Tailor each response to the districts size, policy status, and stated need.
*A forty-thousand-student district with a phone policy already in force requires a different case than a nine-hundred-student rural district writing its first policy under a new state mandate. Enrollment, bell schedule, board policy status, and prior implementation history all shape the response.
Work from the approved content library, and recognize which sections must be written new rather than assembled from existing material.
Collaborate with subject matter experts across Sales, Implementation, Finance, and Legal to gather accurate technical, operational, and pricing inputs, and follow up until each response is complete.
Complete all required forms accurately, including vendor disclosures, conflict-of-interest questionnaires, debarment and non-collusion certifications, state and district vendor registrations, and addenda acknowledgments.
Legal entity name, address, tax identification, patent numbers, insurance limits, warranty terms, and pricing must match exactly across the forms, the narrative, the attachments, and the pricing workbook.
Prevent administrative and technical disqualification through maintaining project management for each response to avoid critical errors such as late delivery, wrong format, missing signature, unacknowledged addendum, exceeded page limit, etc.
Content Library Management
Maintain the library of approved content: what is current, what has been retired, and what has been approved and by whom.
Maintain the approved-claims standard covering what Yondr states, how outcomes are attributed, how research is cited, and which funding sources apply to this product category.
Serve as second reader as part of the RFP Team peer review editorial process.
Produce the final document in exact accordance with the submission instructions and confirm upload or delivery.
Request and log scoring sheets and debrief notes after each award decision, track win rate, record where points were gained and lost and apply those findings to the content library and future responses.
Proposal writing experience
Three or more years of proposal, grant, or technical writing in a public procurement environment, responding to solicitations issued by school districts, state agencies, municipalities, or purchasing cooperatives. You understand responsiveness as a procurement requirement rather than a writing standard. You are comfortable writing content that will be reviewed and critiqued.
A proven track record of high-volume responses, win rate data, compliance and practices that align with an experienced RFP Writer’s career. Experience maintaining and building a content library, including version control on reusable content and a practice of reviewing assembled documents in full before submission.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word, including styles, section breaks, cross-references, and table formatting that holds up through PDF conversion.
Bachelors degree or equivalent professional experience.
K–12 experience, including writing for a school board audience and a purchasing agent within the same document.
International experience
Experience with pricing workbooks, including unit pricing tables, extended totals, and discount structures.
Experience writing in an organizations voice and synthesizing brand language into aligned narratives to specific districts.
Salesforce experience.
