[Hiring] Catalog & Technical Documentation Administrator @Peraton

Role Description

This Catalog & Technical Documentation Administrator role supports a DoD contract where products are catalogued against a strict contractual structure (CLIN/SLIN hierarchy) before they can be quoted, purchased, delivered, or renewed. The Catalog Document Control Administrator is the technical steward of that catalog:

• Research vendor product documentation.
• Validate that proposed items fit the technical scope of their assigned contract line.
• Prepare controlled catalog records that Finance, the Buyer, Asset Management, and Logistics rely on downstream.

This is a hands-on technical catalog role, not a records-clerk role. The person in this seat is expected to:

• Read vendor datasheets and licensing documents.
• Reason about hardware vs. software, perpetual vs. subscription, and recurring vs. one-time cost.
• Defend the catalog's technical accuracy against audit.

This is a 100% remote position.

• Build and maintain bills of materials (BOMs) for communications and networking equipment (routers, switches, optics, firewalls, load balancers, rack cabinets, peripherals), associated software, licenses, and virtual machines, plus storage, server, and endpoint products as the catalog scope requires.
• Validate proposed catalog items against the technical scope of their assigned CLIN/SLIN by reviewing vendor technical documentation and confirming the item's specifications meet the contractual requirements of that line.
• Document the SKU-to-SLIN mapping and rationale so the catalog remains auditable against the contract.
• Prepare and load structured import files that add parts to the proprietary catalog/contract management system.
• Research and document End-of-Life (EOL), End-of-Sale (EOS), and End-of-Maintenance (EOM) schedules for catalog parts.
• Coordinate with technical staff on replacement verification and track the decommission of superseded SLINs/BOMs/items/linkages.
• Gather, comprehend, and document product pricing to prepare pricing documentation for Finance review and adjustment.
• Coordinate with the Asset Manager and Logistics Manager to flag items requiring serialization, delivery tracking, or renewal tracking post-purchase.
• Audit the catalog for conformance to the contractual catalog structure, prevent duplicate entries, maintain version history, and ensure obsolete items are retired.
• Perform related administrative, data entry, and reporting tasks assigned by the supervisor.
• Support the PMO team with product documentation and reporting as requested.

Preference for candidates located in the Oklahoma / Oklahoma City metro area to enable periodic in-person meetings. Standard business hours with cross-functional coordination across Finance, Asset Management, Logistics, and the PMO. A quiet and distraction-free office environment is required.

Qualifications

• US Citizenship.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret eligible clearance.
• Bachelor's degree with 2+ years of relevant experience; or Associate's degree with 4 years; or 6+ years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree.
• Working technical literacy with enterprise IT and networking products.
• Advanced Excel: pivot tables, data validation, and large-file reconciliation.
• Comfort with product and pricing math.
• Clear written documentation habits and an audit-minded approach.
• Ability to coordinate across Finance, Asset Management, Logistics, PMO, and technical staff.

Requirements

• Prior experience maintaining a product catalog, SKU master, or BOM library against a contractual structure.
• Familiarity with networking and network security product lines.
• ITIL Foundation, CompTIA Security+, or CompTIA Network+ certification, or willingness to obtain within a reasonable timeframe.
• Experience with proprietary or commercial catalog/contract management systems and bulk-import workflows.
• Exposure to DoD contract vehicles and the documentation discipline they require.

Benefits

• Target Salary Range: $51,000 - $82,000.
• Salary is determined by various factors, including scope and responsibilities, experience, education, knowledge, skills, and competencies.
• Employees may be eligible for overtime, shift differential, and a discretionary bonus in addition to base pay.
