CACI is a technology‑first national security company that expands the limits of national security by delivering differentiated expertise and software defined technologies across defense, intelligence, and federal civilian missions. We are Ever Vigilant.

The Opportunity

CACI is seeking a highly motivated Contracts Manager to support our Technology Programs across four primary Lines of Business (LOBs) that deliver integrated national security, mission, and technology capabilities for our customers. These LOBs – Electronic Warfare, Space, Digital & Network Technologies, and Mission and Engineering Support – work together to accelerate innovation, modernize critical systems, and provide advanced mission support across defense, intelligence, and federal civilian environments.

In this role, you will serve as a strategic business partner across both capture and execution, advising program teams and shaping equitable agreements that enable mission success.

Role And Impact

Within CACI, Contract Managers are core strategic partners who strengthen customer trust, safeguard business integrity, and enable high-impact mission delivery. In this role, you will shape and negotiate contractual outcomes across the full acquisition lifecycle - from pre‑award strategy through execution, modifications, and close‑out - ensuring each engagement reflects CACI’s standards for compliance, agility, and mission‑focused value.

You will work closely with program leadership, capture teams, pricing, legal, procurement, and technical stakeholders across the four LOBs to identify risks early, craft balanced solutions, and provide clear operational guidance in fast‑paced environments.

Your influence extends beyond individual agreements: you will bolster customer confidence, anticipate evolving regulatory and mission needs, and reinforce CACI’s reputation for delivering defensible, innovative business outcomes. Through proactive engagement with U.S. Government and industry partners, you directly support mission success and long‑term program growth.
