Make an Impact Where Innovation Meets Purpose

If you’re someone who thrives on organization, enjoys bringing clarity to complexity, and wants your work to contribute to something bigger—this could be a great fit.

We’re partnering with an organization at the intersection of innovation and national impact, supporting collaborations that advance critical medical technologies for those who serve. This role offers the opportunity to work with a diverse group of stakeholders—from government partners to industry leaders and academic innovators—all working toward meaningful outcomes.

What You’ll Be Part Of

You’ll join a collaborative team that plays a key role in managing and supporting government-funded programs. At the center of it all, you’ll help ensure agreements, contracts, and funding activities are executed smoothly, compliantly, and efficiently.

This is a role where your attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to manage multiple priorities will truly matter.

What You’ll Be Doing

Here’s a high-level overview of how you’ll contribute:

• Support the full lifecycle of contracts—from proposal coordination through closeout
• Help manage contracts, subcontracts, and related documentation for government-funded programs
• Track key milestones, funding activity, deliverables, and reporting deadlines
• Partner across teams to coordinate contract actions and provide status updates
• Maintain organized, compliant documentation aligned with federal and internal requirements
• Assist with invoicing coordination, reporting, and contract modifications
• Contribute to clear, accurate contract-related communications

What Success Looks Like

You’ll be someone who:

• Brings strong organization and attention to detail to everything you do
• Thrives in a fast-paced environment with multiple moving pieces
• Communicates clearly and works well across diverse teams
• Applies sound judgment and problem-solving skills in complex situations
• Stays proactive and adaptable as priorities shift
• Evaluates cost proposals
• Prepares clear cost analysis and negotiation memoranda
• Manages multiple contracting actions and competing deadlines

What You Bring

• 2–5 years of experience supporting federal contracts, grants, or similar agreements (required)
• Demonstrated cost analysis experience on federal agreements (required)
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate cost proposals, prepare clear cost analysis and negotiation memoranda, and manage multiple contracting actions and competing deadlines (required)
• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of experience and education (required)
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365 tools (especially Excel, SharePoint, and Word) (required)
• Comfort managing multiple projects and competing priorities (required)
• U.S. citizenship (required)
• Knowledge of the Other Transaction Authority (OTA) (encouraged)
• Consortium-model contracting (preferred)

Work Environment & Flexibility

• Fully remote with regular virtual collaboration
• Occasional travel for meetings, workshops, or program activities
• A team-oriented environment where communication and responsiveness are key

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than a contracts role—it’s an opportunity to be part of meaningful, mission-driven work while building strong relationships across sectors. You’ll contribute to programs that support innovation, collaboration, and real-world impact.

If this sounds like a role where you could add value and grow, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect.
