This position is ideal for candidates who have managed complex federal subcontracts, understand FAR/DFARS, and are skilled in both team leadership and regulatory compliance.

• Minimum of 7 years of hands‑on experience managing subcontracts for U.S. Government, Civil, or Commercial clients—including direct involvement in pre‑ and post‑award activities.
• At least 5 years of experience in a supervisory or managerial role leading a subcontracts team.
• Proven track record supporting government proposals and subcontract execution in fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environments (e.g., Defense, National Security, or Civil agencies).
• Expertise in negotiating and administering contract types such as FFP, FFP‑LOE, CPFF (Term and LOE), T&M, and IDIQ.
• Strong understanding of FAR, DFARS, GSA schedules, GWACs, and IDIQ vehicles.
• U.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI clearance.

• Lead and manage the internal Subcontracts Team, overseeing full lifecycle subcontract administration (pre‑award through closeout) in compliance with CPSR standards.
• Collaborate with Contracts, Capture, and Program teams to develop pricing strategies, cost proposals, and price‑to‑win approaches.
• Analyze prime solicitation requirements and develop compliant, competitive subcontract solicitation packages to support proposal efforts.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for all subcontracting activities, facilitating internal coordination and external partner engagement.
• Negotiate subcontract agreements, ensuring incorporation of all required flow‑down clauses, company policies, and applicable federal regulations.
• Develop, maintain, and implement Small Business Subcontracting Plans in alignment with customer and proposal requirements.
• Ensure all subcontract files are audit‑ready and fully compliant with CPSR, FAR/DFARS, and the Astrion Procurement Manual.
• Foster strong communication and collaboration with internal stakeholders and subcontractors to drive performance, resolve issues, and ensure successful contract execution.
