Federal Contracts Consultant (GovCon)

Urrly•Fairfax, VA

5d•$125,000 - $135,000•Remote

About The Position

Step into a fully remote, client-facing contracts role with a scaling outsourced consulting firm that supports government contractors across contracts, procurement, pricing, finance, HR, recruiting, and strategic advisory. You’ll provide full-life-cycle contracts support across a portfolio of GovCon clients, helping them move from RFP/RFI and teaming strategy through award review, subcontracting, compliance tracking, and closeout. This is a strong fit if you are a hands-on federal contracts professional who can advise PMs and executives, balance contract risk with business realities, and independently manage multiple client environments without losing follow-through.

Requirements

5+ years of hands-on contract and subcontract management experience.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
Strong working knowledge of FAR, federal acquisition policy, proposal compliance, flowdowns, and contract risk management.
Hands-on experience with NDAs, teaming agreements, subcontracts, modifications, contract negotiation, and full-life-cycle contract administration.
Familiarity with GWACs and multiple-award vehicles such as OASIS+, NASA SEWP, Alliant, Polaris, STARS, or similar federal contract vehicles.
Ability to manage multiple clients, priorities, deliverables, and timelines with independent judgment and clear communication.
Comfort advising PMs, executives, and client stakeholders while knowing when to research, escalate, and close the loop.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and Excel.

Nice To Haves

Prior consulting, shared services, outsourced contracts management, or multi-client advisory experience.
Contractor-side GovCon experience with direct exposure to federal contracts operations.
DoD, DFARS, or agency supplement experience.

Build compliance matrices and contract briefs; help clients stay aligned with FAR, DFARS, and applicable agency supplement requirements.
Maintain accurate contract systems, deliverables, metrics, SAM.gov entity registrations, Service Contract Reporting, and certifications where needed.
