Job summary

Kaizen Labs is seeking a contracts/compliance professional to manage federal obligations and flowdowns across civilian and DoD work. You will own the obligation register, run the training and filing calendar, and handle SAM/PIEE/WAWF submissions for invoicing and compliance.

Ideal candidates have hands-on federal contracting experience, can work independently in a small team, and are US persons able to handle CUI. The role requires collaboration with security and outside counsel.

Qualifications

• Federal contracts or subcontracts administration on the contractor side, where the follow-through was yours.
• FAR and DFARS, and comfort with flowdown matrices and applicability thresholds.
• You've built a register or compliance calendar, not just worked from one.
• Submissions into federal systems. SAM at minimum, PIEE or WAWF if invoicing has been yours.
• You've worked on small teams and are self-directed. No department behind you, nobody assigning your week.
• US person, able to work with CUI.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the obligation register across every federal agreement, and keep it current through mods.
• Run the compliance calendar: training deadlines and certificates back to the AOR, notices and postings, annual filings like VETS-4212A
• Portal administration and submissions. SAM and our reps and certs, PIEE and WAWF for invoicing
• Make the applicability calls. Thresholds, commercial-item carve-outs, what actually reaches a company our size
• Read flowdowns on new subcontracts and agreements before signature, and tell us what we'd be taking on
• Own the Army training stack where it applies: AT Level I, OPSEC, iWATCH, ATCTS registration
• Route execution to People Ops, IT and security, and hold the map
• Manage clause interpretation with outside counsel
