Job description

Lead Facilitators and Facilitators and Coaches for in-person team sessions at a federal agency's offices across six western states. Contract work, paid by the hour per session, contingent on contract award.

About the work

Advent Business Company is building the facilitator team for a federal agency's leadership development program. The agency asks for in-person team and culture sessions for its intact operational and leadership teams, each team between 7 and 30 people.

We are filling two positions with two people each: Lead Facilitator, and Facilitator and Coach. One posting covers both. Tell us on the form which one fits you.

A session is one or two consecutive days on site, up to ten sessions a year, with two or three one-hour webinars a year. Sessions take place at the agency's offices in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming and California. Preparation and follow-up coaching are done remotely. Travel is paid separately under the Federal Travel Regulation.

The agreement runs three years. The positions are with the prime contractor on the bid and are contingent on contract award.

Lead Facilitator (two positions)

• Hold the discovery call with the team's manager and write the session agenda and exercises, delivered five business days before the session.
• Lead the one or two days on site.
• Write the post-session summary: outcomes, the team's own action items and recommendations for further coaching, within ten business days.
• Design and present the yearly webinars.

Facilitator and Coach (two positions)

• Co-facilitate the session on site with the Lead Facilitator.
• Give direct feedback on the behaviors that limit a team, and run live assignments with follow-through.
• Coach one-to-one conversations between team members where a conflict is holding the team back.
• Administer the assessment profiles the session uses.

What you need

• At least five years of documented professional experience in team building, leadership facilitation or organizational development.
• An active, industry-recognized certification in a coaching framework: Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths Coach, Insights Discovery licensed practitioner, an ICF credential (ACC, PCC or MCC), or an equivalent.
• Experience facilitating in person for intact teams.
• Ability to travel to the six states for one or two days at a time.
• A resume of no more than two pages that shows the experience and the certification.

Nice to have

• Facilitation for a federal or state agency, or for a utility.
• Both a coaching credential and an assessment certification.
• A home base in or near Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming or Northern California.
