• Coordinate with program management, finance, and supply chain to gather inputs for reports and resolve routine issues.
• Generate routine reports and contract briefs; maintain trackers for actions, risks, and deliverables.
• Support closeout activities including data calls, property confirmations, and release‑of‑claims packages.
• Follow applicable FAR, DFARS, agency supplements, and company policies; elevate potential risks early.

• Active Top Secret with SCI clearance.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Contracts Management, Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
• Two (2) or more years of federal contracts or subcontracts support experience; internships or co‑ops may count toward experience.
