Strider is seeking an Government Contracts Specialist to support the acquisition strategy and contract execution behind our growing U.S. government business.

You will partner closely with Growth and Strider’s General Counsel to help teams understand acquisition requirements, evaluate contracting approaches, and move opportunities efficiently toward execution.

This role offers the opportunity to apply federal acquisition expertise in a growing national security technology company, with meaningful ownership of the processes and strategies that enable Strider to serve government customers.
