  • Support development and implementation of contracting policies, procedures, templates, and standard terms.
  • Coordinate with internal teams (Accounting, Operations, BD/Proposal, HR) and engage directly with Government representatives (CO, DCAA, DCMA).
  • Maintain contract records, documentation, and audit readiness; support DCAA/DCMA audit and pricing requests.
  • Contribute to corporate training, process improvements, and compliance programs.
  • Work independently to proactively solve issues, support operational teams, and meet critical deadlines.

  • Minimum 5 years of federal government contracting experience with direct responsibility for contracts and subcontracts.
  • Strong knowledge of FAR, DFARS, and agency supplements, with experience supporting a range of contract types (FFP, T&M, CPFF, IDIQ, BPA, MAS/GSA, etc.).
  • Proven experience drafting, analyzing, and negotiating subcontracts, prime contracts, NDAs, and TAs.
  • Expertise performing flow-down analysis and applying required FAR/DFARS clauses to subcontracts and vendor agreements.

  • Ability to assess contractual risk, ensure compliant proposal submission, and guide teams through all phases of the contract life cycle.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder-management skills, including working with senior leadership.
  • Advanced Excel skills and proficiency with MS Office; experience with contract management or ERP systems (Unanet, Deltek, JAMIS, Salesforce) a plus.
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and time-management abilities; able to manage multiple priorities with minimal supervision.
  • Flexibility to work extended hours when required to meet deadlines.
  • Professional, proactive, consultative working style with high integrity and accountability.
