About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential aerospace and defense organization in their search for a Contracts Management professional to support a major international fighter aircraft program. This is a strategic role that will touch every phase of complex contract lifecycles—from proposal development through negotiation, performance management, and closeout. You'll serve as a key business partner across multiple internal functions and act as an authorized representative in customer-facing negotiations and relationship management.

Our client operates in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where contractual precision, risk mitigation, and customer relationships are mission-critical. This role requires both technical contractual expertise and the ability to communicate complex concepts to diverse stakeholders, from engineering teams to senior executives.

Responsibilities

• Lead proposal preparation activities: review customer solicitations, conduct risk assessments, develop mitigation strategies, and coordinate cross-functional proposal teams
• Manage the full contract lifecycle from award through closeout, ensuring compliance with all contractual obligations, company policies, and regulatory requirements
• Serve as the primary contractual interface with customer representatives, building effective relationships and resolving performance-related concerns
• Develop and negotiate contract terms and conditions, applying advanced contractual concepts to complex, high-value agreements
• Collaborate with program management, finance, legal, subcontracts, engineering, and compliance teams to address contractual issues impacting cost, schedule, and technical specifications
• Continuously monitor contract performance and implement corrective actions as needed
• Lead and support internal and external audits related to contract activities
• Initiate and coordinate contract closeout processes, ensuring timely administrative closure in accordance with federal regulations
• Provide contractual training and guidance to internal stakeholders as appropriate

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of professional contracts management experience
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex contract actions from capture through closeout
• Strong understanding of contractual compliance, delegation of authority, and approval processes
• Ability to collaborate effectively across multiple functional areas

Highly Valued Skills:

• Experience reviewing and drafting contract terms and conditions
• First-hand contract negotiation experience
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfort presenting complex contractual concepts to technical, financial, and senior-executive audiences
