Loft Federal is seeking a Senior Subcontract Program Manager to help lead subcontract execution across federal space programs, proposals, and strategic supplier relationships. 

This role will bring structure, ownership, and discipline to how Loft Federal manages subcontractors and suppliers across proposal, award, execution, delivery, and closeout. The Subcontract Program Manager will work across Programs, Contracts, Finance, Engineering, Procurement, Legal, Security, Quality, and Growth to ensure subcontractors are integrated into the overall program plan and held accountable to cost, schedule, technical, contractual, and deliverable commitments. 

The right candidate will understand that subcontractor performance directly affects program execution, margin, customer confidence, and future capture. This person will be expected to operate in the details, identify supplier risks early, drive corrective action, and help build repeatable subcontract management practices as Loft Federal scales. 

The Subcontract Program Manager will partner directly with Federal leadership, Program Managers, Engineering, Growth, Contracts, Legal, Finance, Procurement, Security, Quality, and external suppliers. 

Why This Role Matters 

Loft Federal is building and delivering complex national security space missions that depend on external partners, subcontractors, suppliers, payload providers, hardware vendors, software providers, and mission-enabling services. 

Strong subcontract execution is critical to program delivery. A supplier delay, unclear SOW, unmanaged interface, late deliverable, invoice issue, security gap, or untracked assumption can quickly become a program problem, margin problem, or customer confidence problem. 

This role will help Loft Federal manage subcontractors as an integrated part of the program baseline. The person in this seat will improve supplier accountability, proposal-to-execution continuity, program financial visibility, technical coordination, and issue escalation across current and future federal programs.
