About The Position

Everblue is a mission-driven, veteran-owned small business focused on improving careers, strengthening government processes, and advancing market transformation through technology. We build solutions that support large program implementation, digitization, certification management, and compliance-driven workflows. Our team helps organizations streamline complex processes while meeting regulatory and industry requirements. At Everblue, we value ownership, transparency, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. Our team members are empowered to take initiative, learn continuously, and make a real impact. We’re looking for a high-energy Business Development Consultant who thrives on connecting with people and uncovering new opportunities to improve government and public service organizations. In this role, you will serve as Everblue’s external representative—building relationships with public sector leaders, understanding their challenges, and connecting them with solutions that drive meaningful outcomes. You will collaborate closely with internal teams across policy, software, and training to shape impactful projects. This is not a traditional sales role. Success in this position comes from listening, building trust, and developing thoughtful, mission-aligned solutions.
