• Support internal and external audits, reporting, and compliance reviews (e.g., CPSR, DCMA, DCAA). Conduct supplier assessments and lead improvement plans as needed.
• Collaborate with program management, contracts, accounting/finance, legal, and quality assurance to provide technical, regulatory, and compliance support aligned with program goals.

• Minimum of 4 years of experience in subcontract administration or procurement, specifically supporting federally funded customer contracts.
• Experience with U.S. Government contracting procurement regulations (FAR, DFARS).
• Ability to read and interpret moderate terms and conditions of sales and purchases.
• Experience working with high‑level (executive) internal and external customers.
• Experience with multi‑tasking and managing competing priorities.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.

Preferred Qualifications

• Purchasing certification such as CPPB, CPPO, or CPM.
