United States		America's 30 million small businesses are the engine of our economy, creating nearly two out of every three new jobs in the United States and employing over half the Nation's workforce. The Small Business Administration’s mission is not only to provide support to these businesses, but to serve as a catalyst for American small business growth and empowerment. We meet this call to action with hard working and forward thinking team members building innovative technology, resources and programs so that American small businesses can continue to drive our economy and democracy forward. SBA's Business Technology Solutions S team operates like a start-up within the agency. We're a small group of technologists and strategists—designers, product owners, devs, and content aficionados who are working to modernize the agency's presence. We're looking for an individual who is mission-oriented, an excellent communicator, has practical experience, and is eager to learn, lead, and do. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is a believer in the power of innovation manifested in people, process and technology.	2020-05-27 11:52:46	100		2861

Build outreach and communication strategy, compile data, and get us closer to helping more underrepresented entrepreneurs access America’s Seed Fund.	Small Business Administration	1	SBA-USA-4		Design thinking, Marketing, Research, Writing	The SBA’s Innovation and Technology team is mission-driven and focused on helping talented entrepreneurs in science, technology and innovation get access to seed capital to grow their businesses, and the US economy. Resources and access to capital are not reaching all Americans evenly, and the economic impacts of COVID-19 could increase this inequality. The best ideas can come from anywhere, but 80% of all venture capital (VC) investment has been concentrated in just three states, and in 2016, only 1% of VC dollars went to African American and Latino founders, and less than 2% went to female founders. Ensuring that access to resources and capital are available to all Americans is critical in creating a robust and dynamic workforce with inclusive growth, and ensuring the benefits of entrepreneurship accrue across the nation. - Help strategize for effective messaging across outreach channels - Research trends and make recommendations on topics to cover - Identify partnership opportunities with organizations that support underrepresented communities - Compile information on best practices for federal agencies as well as entrepreneur support organizations		United States		Since 1953, the US Small Business Administration (SBA) has worked to ignite change and spark action so small businesses can confidently start, grow, expand, or recover.
