How this role works

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.
A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
You work remote, paid from the contract. ~120–600 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

Map the current process with the people who run it, then measure where the delays, rework and handoffs really happen
Run improvement projects through DMAIC, from a clear problem statement to controls that keep the gains in place
Turn our AI, data and software work into measurable before-and-after results the Government can see and trust
Report status, metrics and risks plainly to the customer and to our team
