TeleSolv Consulting is seeking a highly experienced Acquisition Training Instructor to deliver advanced, execution-focused training that directly improves federal acquisition outcomes in a 100% remote environment. This position supports the federal government, and all applicants must be U.S.-based. The Acquisition Training Instructor plays a critical role in strengthening the Government’s acquisition workforce by translating complex regulatory, legal, and procedural requirements into practical, real-world instruction. This role operates within the acquisition lifecycle—embedding training into active procurements, improving documentation quality, reducing rework, and preventing audit findings. The Instructor serves as both a subject matter expert and workforce capability integrator, ensuring that training is directly tied to measurable acquisition performance improvements. Responsibilities: Deliver advanced instructor-led (ILT), virtual (VILT), and in-person acquisition training to contracting professionals, CORs, program staff, leadership, and legal stakeholders. Facilitate interactive training sessions using GAO decisions, Court of Federal Claims rulings, and real-world acquisition scenarios. Customize all training materials to align with agency-specific policies, acquisition processes, and mission requirements. Develop and maintain course materials, facilitator guides, participant guides, and job aids tailored to the acquisition environment. Design and implement Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) training programs focused on oversight, compliance, and performance management. Provide instruction on advanced acquisition topics including acquisition planning, SOW/PWS/SOO development, market research, evaluation criteria, best value tradeoffs, and source selection. Integrate training into active acquisition efforts through IPT participation, one-on-one engagements, and real-time acquisition support. Develop instructional media including webinars, videos, podcasts, and on-demand learning modules. Conduct post-procurement retrospectives to identify performance gaps, root causes, and lessons learned. Translate lessons learned into updated training content, case studies, templates, and guidance materials. Capture and institutionalize acquisition knowledge into standardized tools, job aids, and training resources. Collaborate with acquisition SMEs, cost/price analysts, policy teams, and program offices to ensure training reflects current practices. Align training with quality assurance objectives to reduce errors, improve compliance, and mitigate protest and audit risks. Evaluate training effectiveness through feedback, assessments, and observed improvements in acquisition execution. Apply advanced adult learning principles to enhance engagement, retention, and real-world application of training. Qualifications: Must be a U.S. Citizen. Minimum of 10 years of federal contracting experience. Demonstrated cradle-to-grave acquisition experience across complex procurements. DAWIA Level III (Advanced) or FAC-C Professional certification (present or past). Experience delivering training or facilitating instruction for adult learners. Strong knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), agency supplements, GAO protest decisions, and Court of Federal Claims rulings. Expertise in acquisition planning, source selection, best value contracting, and evaluation methodologies. Ability to translate complex acquisition and legal concepts into practical, actionable instruction. Experience developing structured training materials, including guides, job aids, and instructional content. Proficiency with virtual training platforms (Teams, ZoomGov, WebEx) and Microsoft 365 tools. Experience working with acquisition professionals, program offices, leadership, and legal stakeholders. Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust/Suitability Clearance.
