Federal Contracts Consultant (GovCon)

Step into a fully remote, client-facing contracts role with a scaling outsourced consulting firm that supports government contractors across contracts, procurement, pricing, finance, HR, recruiting, and strategic advisory. You’ll provide full-life-cycle contracts support across a portfolio of GovCon clients, helping them move from RFP/RFI and teaming strategy through award review, subcontracting, modifications, compliance tracking, and closeout.

This is a strong fit if you are a hands-on federal contracts professional who can advise PMs and executives, balance contract risk with business realities, and independently manage multiple client environments without losing follow-through.
