4219 Contracts Administrator

Senior Contracts Administrator

We're looking for a Senior Contracts Administrator who thrives in a dynamic environment and is ready to take full ownership of the contract lifecycle-from cradle to grave. This is more than just compliance and documentation-it's about strategic collaboration and making meaningful contributions to mission-critical programs across multiple accounts. This role is a key part of our Business Operations team, contributing strategic insights and precise execution that support mission-critical programs across the company. We are a forward-thinking hybrid company that embraces flexibility and remote work. In this role, you'll enjoy the benefits of working remotely while also maintaining a regular weekly presence at our Chantilly, VA office as part of a collaborative, in-person team environment.

General Duties

Collaborate with proposal managers, pricing leads, and technical staff to align contractual language and pricing strategy with the overall proposal strategy.
• Leverage strong negotiation skills and business acumen to align contract strategy with company goals-whether acting as a Prime or Subcontractor.
• Provide contractual advice, risk identification, and interpretation of requirements to account managers, program managers, and senior leadership.
• Ensure proper contract file creation, organization, and maintenance in internal systems and file structures.
• Distribute contract documentation and coordinate with account and program managers to meet all contractual obligations.

• Support classified proposal submissions, ensuring compliance with government security policies and contracting authority guidelines.
• Coordinate with government customers on contractual elements tied to facility clearance levels, personnel clearances, and subcontractor eligibility for classified work.
