Partnerships Manager, Government & Public Services

About Taidou

Taidou is a private management consulting firm built around real, measurable results. Taidou Government & Public Services (GPS) is our public-sector practice: programme, policy, regulatory and technology delivery for local, state and federal agencies and the organizations that serve them — held to procurement rules, oversight and the public record rather than worked around them.

GPS brings the firm's service lines to public-sector work — project and programme management, transformation, regulatory and risk, finance and technology modernization — with the same senior-led, named-scope delivery model as the rest of Taidou, and a public record that outlives every engagement.

The Role

The Partnerships Manager builds the teaming relationships that let Taidou GPS compete and deliver — prime contractors, small and disadvantaged businesses, specialist firms, and public-sector associations. You find the right partners for each pursuit, set up teaming agreements, and keep partnerships productive and compliant.

What You'll Do

• Identify and build relationships with prime contractors, small businesses and specialist firms.
• Structure teaming agreements, subcontracting relationships and joint pursuit plans.
• Track opportunities and partner roles in the Taidou CRM with the sales and capture team.
• Represent Taidou at industry days, association events and matchmaking sessions.
• Monitor partner performance and compliance on active contracts.

Qualifications

Required

• 5+ years in government-contracting partnerships, business development or capture.
• Working knowledge of teaming agreements and subcontracting.
• Strong relationship-building and organization.
• Eligible to work in the United States; some roles may require the ability to obtain a public-trust or security clearance.

Preferred (nice to have, not required)

• Experience with federal, state or local procurement, grants or oversight requirements.
• Knowledge of public-sector frameworks such as PMBOK, FedRAMP, NIST or GAO guidance.
• Relevant certifications (PMP, CGFM, CISA, etc.).

How We Work

• Senior-led delivery — no bench, no handoff between the team that wins the work and the team that runs it.
• Named scope and named exclusions, agreed before work starts.
• Handover after adoption, to named owners, with a follow-up review we schedule ourselves.
• Independence from vendors: no referral fees, reseller margins or commissions.

We know great people don't always check every box. If you're excited about this role and believe you can do the work, we encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't line up perfectly.

Engagement & Compensation

This role is contract-to-hire. You join Taidou as an independent contractor for an initial onboarding period (typically 90 days), during which we agree your goals together. Once the conversion criteria set out in your offer are met, you convert to a full-time position with benefits.

Compensation is competitive and set according to experience and scope, and includes commission on the business you originate or grow. Full details are confirmed in your offer letter.
