AIR is currently seeking a Subcontracts Administrator to join a strong and seasoned team of contracts and procurement professionals. This role offers significant potential to make a meaningful impact on AIR’s mission.
The Subcontracts Administrator (SCA) will be responsible for supporting the entire lifecycle of both subcontracts and subrecipient agreements, with a particular focus on pre-award proposal support, post-award administration, and negotiations for these agreements. Success in this position requires the ability to operate in a dynamic and evolving environment, and to contribute to process design and system implementation, especially as the organization transitions to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform. This position reports to the Director, Subcontracts and Procurement.
In this role, the SCA will advise both internal stakeholders and external partners, including subcontractors and subrecipients, on compliance matters related to federal, state, and local requirements. The SCA will exercise sound professional judgement to interpret requirements, assess contractual and compliance risks, recommend and implement mitigation strategies, and determine when issues require escalation. The SCA will also identify and help mitigate contractual risks and uphold procurement integrity. Their guidance is essential for ensuring AIR’s compliance with all regulatory requirements and for minimizing risks associated with contracting, subrecipient management, and procurement processes.
The ideal candidate will be comfortable not only executing existing processes but also shaping and improving how the work is done.
This position offers flexibility to be fully remote within the United States (does not include U.S. territories) or to work in a hybrid capacity from AIR’s offices in Crystal City, VA or Chicago, IL with occasional travel required for meetings and training sessions.
