Job description

Aviation Technology Associates (AVTECH Global) is looking for a Defense Contracts Manager.
Position Purpose:
AVTECH Global is seeking an experienced Contracts Manager to lead our Department of Defense contracting efforts - from identifying new business opportunities through proposal development, award, and full lifecycle compliance management. This role is central to our growth strategy to ensure we win and execute DoD work the right way.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with federal acquisition processes, understands the DoD contracting lifecycle (FAR/DFARS), and can move fluidly between hunting new opportunities, writing compelling technical/cost proposals, and ensuring rigorous post-award compliance.
Principle Duties and Responsibilities:
Business Development & Opportunity Identification
  • Monitor SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, DIBBS, agency forecasts, and other sources to identify relevant DoD contract opportunities (RFIs, RFPs, sources-sought notices, task orders), including opportunities with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) across relevant supply chains (e.g., DLA Weapons Support)
  • Build and maintain relationships with contracting officers, program office stakeholders, DLA points of contact, and prime/subcontractor partners
  • Assess opportunity fit, capture strategy, and go/no-go recommendations in coordination with leadership

Proposal Development
  • Lead end-to-end proposal development: technical volumes, staffing plans, past performance narratives, and cost/price volumes
  • Coordinate inputs from engineering and leadership to meet solicitation requirements
  • Ensure proposals are compliant with RFP instructions (Section L/M), well-organized, and competitively positioned
  • Manage proposal schedules, color team reviews, and final submission logistics

Contract Administration & Compliance
  • Manage the full contract lifecycle: negotiation, award, modifications, options, and closeout
  • Ensure compliance with FAR, DFARS, and agency-specific supplements, as well as company policy
  • Monitor contract funding, ceilings, period of performance, and deliverable schedules; flag risks (e.g., funding gaps, scope creep) proactively
  • Support subcontract management and teaming agreements where applicable
  • Maintain contract files and documentation to support audits (e.g., DCAA, DCMA)

Cross-Functional Coordination
  • Partner with Lead Engineers to align contractual obligations with technical execution
  • Advise leadership on contract types (FFP, CPFF, T&M, IDIQ), risk exposure, and negotiation strategy
  • Support pricing strategy in coordination with finance/accounting

As an ideal candidate to join the AVTECH Global team, you will meet the following:
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Contracts Management, Supply Chain, or related field (equivalent experience considered)
  • 5+ years of experience in DoD/federal government contracts management
  • Strong working knowledge of FAR/DFARS and DoD acquisition processes
  • Demonstrated experience writing and managing competitive federal proposals
  • Experience with contract types common to DoD work (IDIQ, FFP, CPFF, T&M)
  • Excellent written communication skills - able to translate technical content into clear, compliant proposal language
  • Proficiency with SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, and standard contract management tools

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), or similar program/logistics offices
  • Familiarity with aerospace/aviation sustainment, MRO, or engineering services contracts
  • Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM) or NCMA certification
  • Experience with GSA Schedule contracts and task order proposals
  • Familiarity with DCAA compliance requirements and cost accounting standards

Location:
This is a REMOTE position with no relocation requirement.
Benefits:
  • coverage of up to one-half of employee's medical insurance premium for a base plan
  • 401(k) with matching

This is a salary position including paid time off and health insurance benefits.
