About Precision Federal
Precision Federal is a Christian-owned small business building AI and software systems for federal agencies through the SBIR program.

Every proposal we submit is backed by working prototypes built before we ask for a dollar.
How this role works
- You join the bench. We name you (with a short bio) as a proposed consultant on proposals that match this role. Consent costs you nothing and commits you to nothing until an award funds.
- A contract is awarded. Federal SBIR awards fund the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins, at an hourly rate agreed before you were ever named.
- You work remote, paid from the contract. ~40–80 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.
What you'll do
- Reach churches, faith groups, nonprofits, tribal programs and community organizations on reservations and in tribal communities by phone and email, and confirm they're willing to help people coming home from prison
- Screen each organization, and the volunteer mentors they offer, against the program's criteria, and enter the confirmed ones in the directory
- Reach Spanish-speaking congregations and community groups too, if you speak Spanish
- Suggest ways to grow the directory in tribal communities. The Bureau's goal is to grow the number of Native American faith groups in the directory by 200% in the first year
- Help run the program's reentry focus group and staff its booth at national reentry events, travel paid
Required qualifications
- Native American. The Bureau of Prisons contract requires one team member who is Native American, and the Bureau says tribal nations establish that identity. Please tell us your tribe or tribal nation
- At least three years working with churches, faith groups, nonprofits, social services or community programs, especially in outreach or in connecting people with help and resources
- Comfortable talking with community and faith leaders by phone and email, and entering what you learn into an online database

- Available full-time, about 40 hours a week
Preferred qualifications
- Fluent Spanish
- Work in corrections, probation, law enforcement, reentry, or prison or jail ministry
- Pastor, minister, chaplain or other ministry experience
