About the role
\n
\n$100,000 - $120,000 a year
Akicita Federal, LLC is a growing 8(a) small business that delivers healthcare, professional, and administrative services to federal agencies. We're adding a contracts manager to help us grow beyond our current work. The job is to find opportunities, write winning proposals quickly, and build lasting relationships with agencies and teaming partners.
What you'll do
Find and respond to federal opportunities, focusing on small business and 8(a) set-asides
Write, assemble, and submit proposals at high volume, often turning one around in a day or two
Manage contracts after award: point of contact for agencies, modifications, compliance, and reporting
Spend about a quarter of your time on teaming and partnership outreach to other small businesses
Work with our recruiting team to staff new awards
Use AI tools to work faster. We expect speed and don't want proposals built by hand from scratch.
What you bring
3+ years in federal contracting: contracts management, proposal writing, capture, or program management
Solid understanding of the FAR, set-aside programs, and the federal procurement process
An existing network of agency or contractor relationships is a strong plus
You're comfortable with AI tools, or eager to become a power user
You'd rather submit ten good proposals than polish one forever
