How this role works

  1. You join the bench. You apply with your weekly hours and start time. We set your hourly rate from your résumé, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
  2. A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
  3. You work remote, paid from the contract. ~180–240 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

What you'll do

  • Own the Digitization Plan, the monthly reports and the delivery schedule as the Government's single point of contact
  • Manage quality control across the production partner, the metadata and validation lead and the Section 508 engineers
  • Coordinate secure pickup, storage, chain of custody and return of the original records
  • Resolve discrepancies against the written standard and keep the deliverable log honest

Required qualifications

  • Managed a document imaging, digitization or records-conversion project for a Federal or state agency, with the numbers to show for it
  • Oversaw quality control, metadata, indexing, OCR and discrepancy resolution against 36 CFR 1236, FADGI or NARA transfer guidance
  • U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. person), able to complete a Federal background investigation if asked
  • Willing to be named on a federal proposal with a one-page resume, and to sign a short letter of commitment

Preferred qualifications

  • Project Management Professional (PMP)
  • NARA, a Federal records office or a digitization bureau
  • Based in the Washington, DC area
