Why This Role Exist

Onebrief's strategic government initiatives require experienced contract professionals who can help ensure complex contractual commitments are executed effectively throughout the life of each program. As our portfolio continues to grow, we are expanding our contracts organization to provide dedicated support to the programs that have the greatest strategic importance to the company.

This role partners closely with the Senior Manager of Strategic Contract Initiatives to administer a portfolio of complex government contracts while working alongside Program Management, Customer Success, Finance, Legal, and government stakeholders. You'll help ensure contract actions are executed efficiently, risks are identified early, contractual documentation remains current, and internal teams have the guidance they need to successfully deliver for our customers.

Success in this role means contractual issues are proactively managed, stakeholders remain informed, government relationships remain strong, and the administrative execution supporting our most important initiatives operates with consistency and excellence.

About You

You are a collaborative and detail-oriented contracts professional who enjoys partnering with cross-functional teams to help complex government programs execute successfully. You understand that effective contract management is more than ensuring compliance—it requires strong communication, sound judgment, proactive risk management, and the ability to keep multiple stakeholders aligned around successful outcomes.

You have experience administering complex federal government contracts throughout the post-award lifecycle and understand how contractual requirements intersect with program execution, customer relationships, financial performance, and operational delivery. You build credibility by anticipating issues, maintaining organized documentation, and helping teams navigate contractual obligations before they become program challenges.

You communicate confidently with internal stakeholders, government customers, and industry partners. Whether you're coordinating contract actions, documenting performance matters, preparing formal correspondence, or supporting negotiations and modifications, you approach your work with professionalism, ownership, and attention to detail.

You thrive in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve and multiple initiatives compete for attention. You're highly organized, capable of managing several contract actions simultaneously, and comfortable working independently while knowing when to elevate risks or seek guidance.

Most importantly, you see yourself as a business partner—not simply a contract administrator. You understand that your work enables successful customer outcomes, protects the company, and helps Onebrief deliver critical capabilities to mission partners.

This is an individual contributor position.
