Collaborative Compositions

Collaborative Compositions advises small and midsize federal contractors on how to win government work. We are adding one consultant, possibly two.

This is a commission-based 1099 contract engagement, not a salaried job. Please read the compensation section before applying.

WHAT YOU WOULD DO

Find companies with real capability and no working route to a federal buyer. Diagnose what is actually broken in how they are pursuing federal work, and tell them directly. Sell a ten-month advisory engagement. Then deliver it, including target agency selection, pursuit qualification, capability positioning, program office engagement, and pipeline development.

Origination and delivery sit with the same person. You own the client relationship from first contact through the end of the engagement.

WHAT YOU NEED

Demonstrated experience closing consulting, advisory, or professional services engagements, where you owned the sale rather than supporting someone else's. Working knowledge of how federal agencies make buying decisions, not just where solicitations are posted. The ability to hold a strategy conversation with a CEO who knows their market better than you do. The ability to read a budget justification or a solicitation and identify the decision behind it.

Where you built that experience does not matter to us. Government side, industry side, a prime, a small business, or your own practice.

COMPENSATION

A recoverable monthly draw of $6,000 while you build your client base. The draw is an advance against commission and is recovered from earnings above it. It is not a salary.

Commission is 35 percent of the monthly retainer on every engagement you deliver, plus 10 percent of contract value on every engagement you originate, paid monthly across each ten-month term. A single engagement pays the consultant $20,000 to $48,000 across its life depending on tier. Consultants at steady state carry four or five engagements at once.

Every client you bring in stays yours for the life of the engagement.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

Not a salaried position. Not a proposal writing role. Not a lead generation or appointment setting role. Not a position where clients are assigned to you. You build your own pipeline and you deliver your own accounts.
