Subcontracts Manager

Hands-on experience across the full subcontract lifecycle, including FAR/DFARS flowdowns and cost or price analysis.

Familiarity with FAR Part 44, Contractor Purchasing System Reviews (CPSR), and consent-to-subcontract requirements.

Experience with contractual flowdowns and supplier compliance requirements.

Strong understanding of supplier risk management and governance principles.

Department of Defense (DoD) Secret security clearance—current, or the ability to obtain and maintain one.

Experience managing subcontracts across multiple contract types (FFP, T&M, and cost-reimbursement).

As CHAOS Industries scales production of advanced defense systems, our supply base becomes mission-critical—and so does the discipline with which we award and manage subcontracts.

We are seeking a Subcontracts Manager to own the full subcontract lifecycle, from source selection through closeout, for the major subcontracts and supplier agreements that support our programs.

Working closely with Procurement, Supply Chain, Legal, Quality, and Program Management, you will lead subcontract formation and administration under FAR Part 44 and a CPSR-compliant purchasing system—including cost and price analysis, contractual flowdowns, and the qualification, compliance, and governance of our suppliers.

This is a builder’s role: you will establish the policies, files, and processes a purchasing system needs to pass a government review.

Own the full subcontract lifecycle—requirements definition and SOW generation, solicitation (RFP), proposal evaluation, source selection, negotiation, award, administration, and closeout—for major and complex subcontracts.

Draft and negotiate subcontract terms, price, deliverables, and schedule, and prepare the required FAR/DFARS documentation.
