• Maintain suspense lists and track contract-administration actions, including coordination related to funding, acceptance, payment, and required documentation.
• Perform administrative support such as data entry, filing, report distribution, meeting scheduling, presentation preparation, and records management.
• Prepare monthly and ad hoc reports in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Ensure work products are accurate, timely, complete, and free of major errors.
• Protect Government-furnished information, equipment, controlled unclassified information, and sensitive acquisition information.
• Complete and maintain required security, privacy, cyber-awareness, CUI, and installation-access training requirements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business, Finance, Law, Contracts, Purchasing, Economics, Industrial Management, Marketing, Quantitative Methods, Organization/Management, or a related discipline.

• At least one year of experience conducting fact-finding, analysis, and resolution of complex acquisition or contracting issues.
• Demonstrated knowledge of federal and DoD acquisition policy, regulations, laws, directives, and procurement-management practices.
• Experience reviewing contract files, acquisition documentation, contracting actions, and supporting records.
• Strong analytical, research, organizational, and written-communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, maintain suspense items, and deliver accurate work by required deadlines.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, Microsoft Teams, and Adobe Acrobat.
• Ability to work on-site in New Orleans, Louisiana, during standard business hours, generally Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
