• Prepare subcontract agreements and related documents, including facilitating and/or supporting negotiations and execution of contract documents.
• Obtain required approvals from Legal, Compliance, IT, Security, the requesting business area, and other internal stakeholders as needed.
• Proactively monitor and manage expiring contracts to prevent lapses in coverage, and mentor the team to do the same.
• Build and maintain external vendor relationships for key subcontractors.
• Provide input to Strategic Sourcing policies and procedures.
• Respond to contract audit reviews and satisfy related reporting requirements.

What We’re Looking For:

• 4 years relevant progressive experience with Bachelors in related field; 2 years relevant progressive experience with Masters in related field; or High School Diploma or equivalent and 8 years relevant progressive experience.
• Knowledge of the FAR, DFARS, GSA Schedules, IDIQ vehicles, and applicable procurement laws and regulations
• Strong relationship‑building and relationship‑management experience
• Excellent time management, organizational, and prioritization skills
• Positive, flexible approach to business management with willingness to take on new tasks and assignments
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and competing priorities
• Ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously
• Strong interpersonal and written/verbal communication skills
• Demonstrated time‑management skills
• Ability to work under time pressure and meet deadlines
