Subcontract Administrator, General joins the Supply Chain team to manage major subcontractor relationships across all business lines. This role involves owning the full subcontract lifecycle, from RFP through award, execution, and closeout for complex, high-value programs. You will draft technical scopes like SOWs and SDRLs, lead commercial negotiations on price and terms, and monitor subcontractor performance regarding cost, schedule, and technical requirements. The position requires collaborating with engineering, legal, and manufacturing teams to ensure all agreements remain aligned with project goals. Essential skills include a deep understanding of FAR/DFARS, CAS, and ITAR compliance while managing high-mix, low-volume products.

  • Lead commercial negotiations regarding price, terms, deliverables, and schedules with subcontractors.
  • Support prime proposal captures by managing flowdowns and subcontract evaluation documentation.

  • Identify and implement process improvements to scale and streamline the company's subcontracting operations.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in law, accounting, finance, business, supply chain management, or a related compliance field.
  • 3+ years of experience managing high-complexity, full-lifecycle subcontracts across multi-discipline programs.
  • Strong working knowledge of FAR/DFARS, CAS, and ITAR compliance.
  • Track record evaluating subcontractor performance and deliverables against negotiated technical and commercial terms.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
