The bench is not about the work you have. It is about the work you would say yes to if it found you. Keep your independence and your client relationships.
Join the bench and spend your time on the work, not chasing clients or searching job boards.
Capitol Bench connects experienced government affairs and government contracting professionals with permanent roles and fractional opportunities that fit your expertise, availability, and goals. Whether you are exploring your next full-time position or want flexible work on your own terms, we match you with organizations that need exactly what you know.

(01) RETAINED SEARCH
DESCRIPTION
For permanent, full-time roles. Organizations come to Capitol Bench when the right hire will shape their government affairs or government contracting function for years. We search our network first, so being on the bench means being considered for searches that are never posted publicly.
(02) PROJECT BASED
DESCRIPTION
For flexible work without a full-time commitment. Organizations bring in fractional professionals for a defined block of monthly hours, whether for steady strategic support, added capacity during a busy season, or specialized help on a time-sensitive priority. You choose the work, the seniority, and the time commitment that fit your life.

Share your background through the form below. It takes a few minutes and starts the conversation.
A 30-minute vetting conversation covering your experience, capabilities, availability, work preferences, industry focus, and potential conflicts.
When an organization’s need fits your profile, we make a confidential introduction with full context on the role.
Once you start, we stay connected with you and the organization to support a strong start and lasting success.

Tell us what you do best, how you want to work, and where you are most likely to thrive.
