As of Oct 6, 2026, our inventory holds 39 open Guidehouse postings that are either fully remote or hybrid. Fully remote among them: 39. Posted in the last 30 days: 19. Those figures are a count, not an estimate: every day we read Guidehouse’s public careers listings, keep the ones that allow remote or hybrid work, and add them to the inventory beside the federal postings we pull from USAJOBS. The numbers on this page refresh with each daily rebuild, so they can be different tomorrow. Guidehouse gets a page of its own because it is a consulting firm rather than a systems integrator, so its postings read differently from the engineering-heavy contractors we track.
What Guidehouse does
Guidehouse is a consulting firm headquartered in Northern Virginia that serves public-sector and commercial clients. On the government side it advises federal civilian agencies, defense organizations and state and local governments on how to run their programs: financial management and audit readiness, program and grants management, organizational change, risk and compliance, data and analytics, and the technology that supports all of that. On the commercial side it works with regulated industries that sit close to government, among them healthcare, financial services and energy.
That mix is what a job seeker should notice. A consulting firm sells people and their judgment, so its postings are organized around skills and seniority rather than around a single program or facility. Many postings ask for a background in accounting, finance, public policy, health administration, data analysis or a technology discipline; fewer ask for a specific engineering credential. If your experience is administrative, financial or analytical rather than technical, the Guidehouse hub is worth reading closely, because consulting is one of the few parts of the contractor market where that profile is the norm rather than the exception.
Fully remote or hybrid at Guidehouse
Two tiers decide where you can live, and they mean the same thing for a contractor as for an agency. A posting is fully remote when the company’s listing says the work can be done from home anywhere in its hiring footprint, with no office or client site you must report to. A posting is telework eligible, which in contractor language is usually called hybrid, when it names an office or a client site and allows some of the week from home. We never merge the two into a vague “remote-friendly” label, because the difference is whether you must live near a particular building. Here is today’s split across every Guidehouse posting we hold:
Read the split as a snapshot of what the company is posting now, not as a policy. On the day this guide was written every Guidehouse posting we held was fully remote, and if the telework-eligible count reads zero today, that is the company’s current posting pattern, not a gap in our data. It can change. A consulting firm’s location rules follow its clients: an engagement that requires time on site at a client office, or inside a secure government facility, produces a hybrid or on-site posting even at a firm that is otherwise comfortable with remote work. When a hybrid Guidehouse posting appears, the bar above will show it, and the listing itself will say which office or client site it is tied to. The remote vs. telework guide explains the federal side of the distinction, which is the vocabulary most of our readers arrive with.
Where Guidehouse sits among the contractors we track
Guidehouse’s share of all the contractor postings in our inventory: 11%. The contractors with the most open remote and hybrid postings right now are:
- CACI International 208 listings
- Booz Allen Hamilton 52 listings
- Guidehouse 39 listings
- GDIT 34 listings
- Leidos 29 listings
Each name links to that company’s hub. We track a deliberately small set of large federal contractors, chosen because they publish public careers feeds we can read without scraping and because they hire for government work in volume. So the share above is Guidehouse’s slice of that set, not of the whole contractor labor market, which no site counts completely. The other companies on the list are mostly technology and engineering contractors, so a consulting background fits Guidehouse’s postings more closely than the rest; the contractors page shows every company we cover with its current count.
How fast new ones appear
Posted in the last 30 days: 19 Guidehouse postings. In the last 7 days: 0. Most recent Guidehouse posting date: Sep 24, 2026.
Set the 30-day figure beside the total at the top of the page and you have the pace: how much of the current Guidehouse pool arrived within the past month. Consulting hiring runs on engagements. When the firm wins new work it needs to staff it quickly, so postings arrive in clusters, and a posting is often filled or withdrawn within weeks. A posting that leaves the company’s feed drops out of our inventory at the next daily refresh. Check the Guidehouse hub every few days, newest first, rather than once a month.
Clearances and public trust
Clearance requirements at a consulting firm follow the engagement, not the company. A large share of Guidehouse’s government work is with civilian agencies, where the usual requirement is a public trust background investigation that the firm sponsors after an offer, or no investigation at all. Work for defense and national security clients can require an active clearance on day one, because the client will not wait months for a new investigation. Every posting states what it requires. A posting that asks for an active clearance you do not hold is not a near miss; it is a posting you are not eligible for. If you do hold a clearance, say so, with the level and the investigation date, at the top of your resume.
How applying works, and how it differs from a federal job
Guidehouse hires under ordinary private-sector employment terms. You apply through the company’s careers site, with a standard professional resume rather than the long federal format described in the federal resume guide. A recruiter screens, the practice interviews, and an offer can come within weeks, not the months typical of a USAJOBS process laid out in the application timeline guide. Pay is negotiated, not read off a grade table; benefits are the company’s, not FERS and FEHB. For a side-by-side of what the federal package is worth, the federal benefits guide puts dollar figures on the pension, the TSP match and the health premium share, so you can compare a consulting offer against a GS one honestly.
The work itself can look a great deal like a federal program analyst’s. A Guidehouse consultant embedded with an agency’s finance office sits in the same meetings as the agency’s own staff. What differs is the employment relationship: you work for the firm, on an engagement with a term, and when the engagement ends you move to the next one, inside the firm if it has the work and outside it if it does not. That is the trade: faster hiring and more remote work, against a federal career’s tenure protections and defined benefits.
Frequently asked questions
Is Guidehouse a technology company? No. Technology is one of its practice areas, but the firm is a consultancy first, and most of its work is advisory, financial, analytical and program-management work.
Does a Guidehouse remote job mean remote anywhere? Usually remote within the United States, and some postings restrict the states they hire in for tax or client reasons. A remote consulting posting can also carry a travel expectation for client meetings. The posting states both; read it before you assume.
Should I apply to Guidehouse and to the agency it supports? Yes, if both are posting. They are separate employers with separate processes, and the consulting route is faster, so starting both on the same day gives you an answer from one while the other is still in progress.
How to search for these
Start at the Guidehouse hub, which lists every open Guidehouse posting we hold with its tier and posting date, refreshed daily from the company’s public careers listings. Every listing links to Guidehouse’s own posting, which is where you apply. If fully remote is non-negotiable, the fully remote list is the complete set across every employer we track, federal and contractor; if a Guidehouse posting is on it, it will be there. The contractors page is the place to compare Guidehouse with the other companies we cover, and the contracting jobs guide explains how the contractor market as a whole works.
