Contracts and Subcontracts Manager - DoD Subcontract Management and Compliance

Job Description

Contracts & Subcontracts Manager to own the full lifecycle of Oteemo's prime contracts and subcontracts — from pre-award teaming through execution, modification, and closeout  with a particular focus on subcontract management across our Department of Defense (DoD) portfolio. You'll work within the FAR, DFARS, and agency supplements to negotiate and administer teaming agreements, subcontract agreements, NDAs, and MSAs, making sure every flow-down clause, modification, and compliance obligation is tracked and met. Partnering closely with Oteemo's executive leadership, sales, and delivery teams, you'll shape a cradle-to-grave contract management process, keep our template library current, and give leadership clear, regular visibility into compliance status. This role calls for sharp judgment, meticulous attention to detail, and the ownership to keep Oteemo's contracts audit-ready and its partner relationships moving forward.

• Change Orders & Customer Coordination: Serve as the primary point of contact for customer contracting officers and prime contractor contract teams on change orders and modifications; drive change orders to timely execution; and resolve contractual issues before they affect delivery or funding.
• Process & Template Governance: Partner with executive management to define and continuously improve Oteemo's cradle-to-grave contract management process; maintain an inventory of all Oteemo contracting templates; and review and update templates to reflect current regulations and company standards.
