About The Company
We are a service-design consultancy that works shoulder-to-shoulder with our U.S. Government clients to improve government performance using customer experience (CX) as the primary driver of change. At Technical Assent, we envision a world where the U.S. Government sets the standards of service excellence; where everyone experiencing those services feels heard and respected; where people believe in the integrity and efficacy of government services; and where individuals are placed at the center of services as they’re being designed. In other words, we believe in Services That Inspire. Our company has been at the forefront of service design in government for more than a decade. We are a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and are appraised at Capability Maturity Model Integration for Services (CMMI SVC) Level 3.

  • Comfort working with data systems and understanding how metrics are defined and tracked
  • Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills
