Position Overview

The team is seeking a practical, business-minded, experienced Contracts Manager to lead the company’s in-house contracts management function. As the principal contracts subject-matter expert and internal business partner, this person will manage the full lifecycle of contracts management, including prime contracts, subcontracts, teaming agreements, nondisclosure agreements, master service agreements, consulting agreements, purchase orders, and other related instruments, from opportunity identification and proposal review through negotiation, administration, modification, closeout, and record retention.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on Contracts Manager who can operate independently, translate complex requirements into clear business guidance, build and implement processes for the company, and identify contractual issues before they become program, financial, audit, or customer problems.

This role is not only about administering contracts. The team needs a Contracts Manager who understands how to pursue and win work through the specific contract vehicles the company uses or plans to obtain, and who partners closely with Capture and Business Development to stay ahead of deadlines, protect percentage wins (PWins), and never miss an opportunity.

The Contracts Manager will work closely with Operations, Program Management, Client Delivery teams, Finance/Accounting, Pricing, Business Development/Capture, Human Resources, Recruiting, Security, and Executive Management to ensure that contractual requirements are understood, communicated, monitored, executed, and complied with.

Interpret and support compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), agency supplements, contract clauses, and company policies.
Develop compliant subcontract terms and appropriate prime-contract flow-downs; support source selection, subcontract negotiation, consent requirements, and subcontract administration.
Advise on contract type, funding, period of performance, deliverables, invoicing, allowable costs, intellectual property and data rights, organizational conflicts of interest, and other material terms.
Track contractual deliverables, funding, options, modifications, notices, reporting obligations, government property requirements, and key dates; communicate obligations to responsible owners.
Support proposal planning and process, compliance reviews, certifications, and submission readiness in partnership with business development, finance, and technical teams.
Coordinate responses to audits, reviews, requests for information, and other customer inquiries relating to contract administration.
Maintain complete, accurate, organized, and audit-ready contract files, correspondence, approvals, and records in an electronic repository.
Monitor regulatory and contractual developments that may affect the company and proactively recommend practical actions to leadership.
Develop and implement the contracts management structure, governance, policies and procedures, business processes, and training across the company.
