  • Experience supporting both sole source and competitive acquisitions
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build relationships across functional teams including program management, finance, and business development
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex contract terms for non-contracts audiences
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively across teams, manage competing priorities diplomatically, and maintain composure in high-pressure or ambiguous situations
  • Track record of building trust with internal stakeholders and earning credibility as a subject matter expert
  • Proficiency with contract management systems and standard office software
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience supporting VA or DHA programs specifically
  • NCMA certification (CPCM, CFCM, or CCCM) or active pursuit of certification
