Communications Consultant

About the role

Evans is hiring a Senior Communications Consultant to support a large-scale FAA air traffic modernization program. This role produces the executive and Administrator-level communications for an effort consolidating air traffic operational systems onto modern cloud infrastructure. The role is mostly remote with occasional on-site requirements at the FAA Headquarters in Washington D.C. Evans, Inc. is a growing firm doing consequential work. We partner with federal agencies — FAA, Navy, Air Force, and others — to implement technology, develop workforces, and drive lasting organizational change. The work is complex, the stakes are real, and the people we serve depend on us to get it right. We bring integrity to every engagement and the courage to say what needs to be said, even when it's not the easy path. We're a tight-knit team of people who genuinely care about the work and each other. If you do your best thinking in an environment that values creativity, honesty, and service — and you want to do it alongside people who hold themselves to the same standard — you'll fit here.
