Its roles close in a median of 22 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Overview

Headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States, Cherokee Federal is a major federal government contracting division wholly owned by Cherokee Nation Businesses. The organization provides a wide spectrum of mission-critical services to more than 60 U.S. federal agencies, specializing in advanced technology and cybersecurity, public health programs, intelligence analysis, defense manufacturing, and complex logistics operations. Operating through a portfolio of SBA 8(a) and HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business entities, it leverages tribal sole-source contracting vehicles to deliver streamlined procurement and global mission support, while reinvesting 100% of its profits back into the Cherokee Nation to fund healthcare, education, and tribal infrastructure.
