Technical Writer — Grants & SR&ED

GetGrants Inc. | Remote — Canada
Full-time | $90,000–$120,000

About GetGrants

GetGrants is a boutique government funding consultancy helping innovative Canadian companies access grants, SR&ED tax credits, and other government funding.

We work with a carefully selected group of high-quality clients across AI, biotechnology, cleantech, fintech, software, computer vision, and other deep-tech industries.

We're a small team by design. We are not a high-volume consulting firm or an aggressive SR&ED shop. We focus on long-term client relationships and exceptional work.

The Role

We're looking for an experienced Technical Writer to work across both Grants and SR&ED.

You'll work directly with founders, scientists, engineers, and technical teams to understand their technology, R&D, and business objectives — and turn that information into compelling, technically strong funding applications and documentation.

This is a quality-over-quantity role. We don't operate a production-line model. You'll have the time to understand the technology, ask good questions, and produce excellent work.

What You'll Do

  • Prepare high-quality grant applications and SR&ED technical documentation
  • Interview clients and technical teams to understand their R&D and technology
  • Ask thoughtful questions and extract the information needed for strong applications
  • Translate complex technical information into clear, compelling narratives
  • Research technical, market, and industry information
  • Manage client communication, timelines, follow-ups, and reporting requirements
  • Stay current with government funding programs and requirements
  • Collaborate with our small team on client strategy

What We're Looking For

Exceptional communication skills are essential.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • An excellent written and verbal communicator
  • Confident speaking with founders, CEOs, scientists, engineers, and technical teams
  • A strong interviewer and listener who knows how to ask the right questions
  • Able to understand and clearly explain complex technical concepts
  • Highly responsive, organized, and proactive
  • Comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment
  • Strong technically, scientifically, or engineering-minded
  • 5+ years of experience in grants, SR&ED, technical writing, scientific writing, or a related field
  • Familiar with business plans, financial models, commercialization, and strategy

Experience with software development, AI, biotech, cleantech, engineering, or other deep-tech fields is an asset.

Why GetGrants?

Boutique, not high-volume.
We work with fewer clients and go deeper. Quality matters more than volume.

Exceptional clients.
You'll work with innovative Canadian companies and the people building their technology.

Small team.
Your judgment and contribution matter. You'll have autonomy, support, and direct access to the team.

Fully remote.
We value communication, responsiveness, accountability, and results — not where you work.

Sustainable pace.
We take deadlines seriously, but we don't believe high-quality work requires a high-pressure culture.

What We Offer

  • $90,000–$120,000 based on experience
  • Bonus opportunities
  • Fully remote work within Canada
  • Flexible schedule
  • Work with innovative deep-tech companies
  • Small, collaborative team
  • Training, templates, and support
  • Laptop and equipment as required

Who Will Thrive Here?

You're curious. You ask great questions. You listen. You think critically. You write exceptionally well. You communicate clearly. You take ownership.

You don't need to know everything — but you need to be able to sit down with a technical expert, understand something complicated, and turn it into excellent work.

If you'd rather work with fewer, better clients and produce high-quality work than operate in a high-volume environment, we'd love to hear from you.
