Post-Award Governance Specialist

Cloudflare • Washington, DC

1d • $132,000 - $182,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Cloudflare’s ability to meet the unique regulatory, contractual, and operational requirements of government customers is vital to our business. This role executes Post-Award Governance, serving as the operational engine that keeps contracts current, compliant, and paid after the signature hits the page. When a public sector deal closes, the contract package lands with you—from that moment forward, you leverage advanced operational workflows and automated data pipelines to ensure we deliver, report, invoice, and support without interruption.

Requirements

• Direct experience managing post-award tasks for U.S. government contracts, including CDRL tracking, invoice reconciliation, and contractor reporting within automated frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with U.S. federal procurement and vendor-management systems (SAM.gov, DSBS, ORBIT), combined with a working knowledge of international government contracting frameworks, global portals, and regional compliance standards.
• Working knowledge of FAR provisions related to subcontracting plans, invoicing, and contract reporting.
• Familiarity with government contracting systems outside the United States.
• Comfort collaborating across legal, finance, support, and security teams to manage automated workflows in a fast-moving environment.
• Organizational discipline with experience overseeing automated reporting pipelines and managing multiple recurring deadlines.
• Applicants must be U.S. persons within the meaning of ITAR/EAR. ITAR/EAR defines a U.S. person as a U.S. Citizen, U.S. Permanent Resident (i.e. 'Green Card Holder'), Political Asylee, or Refugee.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience as a U.S. federal contracting officer (or comparable federal acquisition role) strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Maintain active registrations in sovereign infrastructure systems globally (including SAM.gov, ORBIT, UK G-Cloud, EU TED, and regional procurement portals), utilizing automated data layers to ensure Cloudflare retains continuous bidding and payment eligibility across all public sector jurisdictions.
• Direct automated audit workflows over foundational data layers to reconcile internal invoicing, tax records (EIN, legal business name), and active federal portal profiles—preventing payment freezes or rejections by oversight programs such as the U.S. Treasury "Do Not Pay" Working System.
• Extract requirements from executed contracts, build automated reporting schedules, and oversee the submission of mandatory recurring deliverables (including Contract Activity Reports and Contractor Profile Reports) to client agencies on time.
• Partner with Customer Support and leverage the Customer Escalation AI Reviewer to monitor contract obligations, proactively triaging technical issues that could affect past-performance ratings or future business.
• Oversee customer contract performance evaluation cycles (such as CPARS), ensuring accurate, timely submissions that protect Cloudflare's past-performance record.
• Coordinate ongoing certifications for government contract compliance with Supply Chain, HR, and internal teams to meet employment regulations, responsibility determinations, and global eligibility criteria.
• Maintain and optimize the central repository for RFx responses by using automated knowledge management workflows, updating content in real time, and coordinating with cross-functional subject matter experts.
