• Full-time

Oteemo is an industry-leading technology consulting firm at the forefront of AI-driven, cloud native, enterprise DevSecOps transformation. We build intelligent, automated, secure systems for organizations tackling their toughest technical and business challenges and we're pushing the boundaries of what AI, generative AI, and agentic systems can do in production, not just in theory. Join us and you'll work alongside recognized experts on cutting-edge projects that blend cloud native architecture, extreme automation, and AI/ML at the core. We foster a dynamic, inclusive, and collaborative culture built on continuous learning, where your ideas shape real outcomes for our clients.

Partnering closely with Oteemo's executive leadership, sales, and delivery teams, you'll shape a cradle-to-grave contract management process, keep our template library current, and give leadership clear, regular visibility into compliance status. This role calls for sharp judgment, meticulous attention to detail, and the ownership to keep Oteemo's contracts audit-ready and its partner relationships moving forward.

• DoD Contract Compliance: Review prime contracts, task orders, and SOWs prior to signing for scope, risk, and compliance; monitor adherence to FAR/DFARS obligations, including cybersecurity requirements (DFARS 252.204-7012 and CMMC), limitations on subcontracting, and contractual reporting; and work with delivery teams to put compliance measures in place and verify they are followed.
• Change Orders & Customer Coordination: Serve as the primary point of contact for customer contracting officers and prime contractor contract teams on change orders and modifications; drive change orders to timely execution; and resolve contractual issues before they affect delivery or funding.
• Process & Template Governance: Partner with executive management to define and continuously improve Oteemo's cradle-to-grave contract management process; maintain an inventory of all Oteemo contracting templates; and review and update templates to reflect current regulations and company standards.
• Reporting & Proposal Support: Deliver weekly and monthly contracts compliance reports to Oteemo executives; support proposal responses for large contracts by reviewing solicitation terms and conditions, structuring teaming and subcontract arrangements, and coordinating
