- • The advisor will provide hands-on, strategic support to clients across the East Coast USA in a remote, part-time capacity (up to 15 hours/week), managing certification lifecycles from application through renewal, advising on ownership and control structures, reviewing documentation for affiliation risks, and ensuring ongoing compliance with SBA audits and reporting requirements—this is not an administrative role but a high-impact advisory position requiring deep subject matter expertise.

- • In this role, the advisor will develop advanced expertise in federal small business certification strategy, gain direct experience with SBA compliance frameworks and GovCon positioning, and build a reputation as a trusted advisor capable of guiding clients through intricate processes like Joint Venture structuring and Mentor-Protégé Program applications—offering significant professional growth in a niche, high-demand area of government contracting.
🎯 Requirements
- • Proven experience supporting SBA small business certifications, including 8(a), SDVOSB, and HUBZone applications, maintenance, and renewals.
- • Strong working knowledge of SBA regulations, particularly eligibility rules, affiliation standards, and compliance requirements for federal small business programs.
- • Direct experience with Joint Ventures and Mentor-Protégé Programs, including structuring SBA-compliant agreements and managing ongoing program compliance.
- • Experience supporting SBA audits, reporting requirements, and annual review processes, including documentation preparation and client guidance during compliance reviews.
- • Background in government contracting, either as a prime contractor or subcontractor, with familiarity of federal procurement environments.
- • Ability to manage multiple clients and shifting priorities simultaneously in a remote, part-time setting with minimal oversight.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Fully remote work arrangement with flexible scheduling (up to 15 hours per week), allowing for work-life balance while serving clients across multiple time zones.
- • Opportunity to work as an independent 1099 contractor with an open hourly rate, providing autonomy over compensation and workload.
- • Engagement with a diverse range of small business clients seeking to access federal contracting opportunities through certification programs.
- • Exposure to cutting-edge compliance challenges in GovCon, including evolving SBA policies and certification portal systems like SAM.gov.
- • Supportive, inclusive company culture at Strategic Growth Partners that values diversity, equity, and accessibility, with commitment to providing accommodations for persons with disabilities.
- • Professional development in a specialized, high-demand area of government contracting advisory, enhancing credibility and marketability in the GovCon space.
