The Procurement Manager leads direct and indirect procurement activities to secure the materials and services needed to support company operations and government contracts. The manager oversees sourcing, supplier selection, negotiations, purchase orders, and supplier performance while ensuring compliance with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements, contract terms, and company policies. Responsibilities include maintaining accurate, audit-ready procurement documentation, managing supplier risk, and improving cost, quality, and delivery. Working closely with program management, finance, contracts, and operations, the Procurement Manager develops the procurement team and ensures purchasing decisions support business objectives with integrity and accountability.

• Experience with subcontractor and supplier management: sourcing, qualification, negotiation, performance management, issue resolution, and risk mitigation.

• Ability to conduct market research, analyze total cost and value, negotiate favorable commercial terms, and deliver measurable savings without compromising quality, schedule, or compliance.
• Experience using ERP/procurement systems (NetSuite is a plus) and advanced Excel or comparable data-analysis tools.
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to develop clear policies, procedures, reports, and audit-ready documentation.
• Proven ability to partner effectively with program management, finance, legal, contracts, quality, engineering, and operations.

• Experience preparing for or supporting a Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR), internal audit, DCMA review, or similar compliance assessment.
• Experience supporting cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, and fixed-price Government contracts.
• Familiarity with small-business subcontracting requirements, supplier diversity, SAM exclusion checks, and consent-to-subcontract requirements when applicable.
• Professional certification such as CPSM, CPPM, CFCM, CPCM, or NCMA certification.
• Experience leading procurement transformation, supplier-risk management, strategic sourcing, or process automation.
