[Hiring] Contract Manager @Onebrief

Role Description

Onebrief's strategic government initiatives require experienced contract professionals who can help ensure complex contractual commitments are executed effectively throughout the life of each program. This role partners closely with the Senior Manager of Strategic Contract Initiatives to administer a portfolio of complex government contracts while working alongside Program Management, Customer Success, Finance, Legal, and government stakeholders. You'll help ensure contract actions are executed efficiently, risks are identified early, contractual documentation remains current, and internal teams have the guidance they need to successfully deliver for our customers.

Success in this role means:

• Contractual issues are proactively managed.
• Stakeholders remain informed.
• Government relationships remain strong.
• Administrative execution supporting our most important initiatives operates with consistency and excellence.

Qualifications

• You are a collaborative and detail-oriented contracts professional.
• You understand that effective contract management requires strong communication, sound judgment, proactive risk management, and the ability to keep multiple stakeholders aligned around successful outcomes.
• You have experience administering complex federal government contracts throughout the post-award lifecycle.
• You build credibility by anticipating issues and maintaining organized documentation.
• You communicate confidently with internal stakeholders, government customers, and industry partners.
• You thrive in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve.
• You see yourself as a business partner—not simply a contract administrator.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
• 7–10 years of progressive experience administering U.S. Government contracts and/or commercial contracts.
• Demonstrated experience supporting pre-award negotiations and managing post-award contract execution.
• Working knowledge of federal acquisition regulations, contract modifications, funding actions, deliverables, and contract administration practices.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance (U.S. citizenship required).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting commercial software, SaaS, or technology companies serving the U.S. Government.
• Previous experience as a Government Contract Specialist, Contracting Officer Representative (COR), or acquisition professional.
• Experience supporting OTAs, prototype efforts, software licensing, or non-traditional acquisition approaches.
• Experience working within Salesforce, CLM platforms, or other contract lifecycle management systems.

Indicators of Success

A successful Contract Manager will:

• Independently manage a portfolio of complex contracts with minimal day-to-day oversight.
• Establish trusted working relationships with Program Management, Customer Success, and government stakeholders.
• Ensure contract actions, deliverables, modifications, and correspondence are completed accurately and on time.
• Identify and communicate contractual risks early.
• Improve the consistency, visibility, and operational discipline of contract management across Onebrief's strategic initiatives.
