About The Position

The Federal Contracts Compliance Manager is a hands-on manager responsible for leading and operating the Contracts function’s compliance framework across Aleut Federal’s federal contract portfolio and assigned business entities. The role has primary functional ownership for SBA 8(a) program requirements, entity administration, limitations on subcontracting, performance-of-work monitoring, bona fide place-of-business compliance, Business Activity Targets, federal reporting, SAM.gov administration, and GSA and other governmentwide contract vehicles. The Manager establishes program standards and priorities, reviews work product, develops compliance personnel, and ensures compliance controls operate effectively. The role is accountable for the quality and timeliness of Contracts-owned submissions, leadership reporting, audit support, exception management, and escalation of material risk. The Manager directly handles complex, novel, cross-entity, or high-risk matters and manages an assigned portfolio of federal prime contracts.

Work is generally performed indoors in a professional office or home-office environment. This is a hybrid position requiring onsite attendance at the Reston, Virginia office Tuesday through Thursday; remote work may be performed Monday and Friday, subject to business needs. Occasional travel may be required. Salary range is $150,000 to $170,000. Aleut will accept resumes until December 11, 2026, or until the role is filled.
