Qualifications:

• Familiarity with government procurement processes or willingness to learn quickly.
• Strong research, writing, and administrative skills.
• Attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines.
• Experience in nonprofit work, social services, or government relations is a plus.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment.

Time Commitment: 20-25 hours/week, flexible schedule

Duration: 6-8 months initially, with the possibility to continue for multi-state contracting efforts

Benefits:

• Hands-on experience in government contracting, social work program operations, and nonprofit growth.
