GPS Group Peer Support•Northampton, MA

23h

About The Position

GPS Group Peer Support is seeking a senior consultant to lead compliance, operational systems, and deadline management for a complex, multi-section technical package and related compliance-driven submissions. The consultant is not expected to become a subject-matter expert on program content; the role is to manage compliance, structure, and delivery so content experts can focus on substance. This role is responsible for ensuring that all materials are complete, internally consistent, fully compliant with detailed requirements, and delivered on time. This is a hands-on, high-accountability role focused on requirements management, systems design, and process enforcement. It is not a content-writing or program design role. The consultant will work closely with the CEO and internal team to own the operational backbone of the technical package from draft through submission and follow-on compliance work.
