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 team operates like a start-up within the agency. We're a small group of technologists and strategists—designers, product owners, engineers, and content aficionados who are working to modernize the agency's digital and IT infrastructural 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.
