ABOUT THE TEAM

The Contracts & Business Operations team supports SIXGEN’s mission by ensuring every deal, proposal, and agreement is compliant, efficient, and ready to scale. As our Senior Contracts & Compliance Specialist, you’ll be the go-to expert for pre-award compliance and contracts readiness, helping the company grow while maintaining a strong compliance posture. You’ll build scalable systems, guide proposal teams, and make sure everything we submit meets FAR/DFAR and CPSR standards.

This is a hands-on, fast-moving role for someone who thrives at the intersection of compliance, contracts, and business strategy. This role is ideal for a contracts professional who is confident in FAR/DFAR compliance, CPSR readiness, and proposal support,  and who can also flex into traditional contracts and subcontracts administration as needed.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

You’ll lead SIXGEN’s pre-award compliance efforts and help mature our contract systems and processes. That means:

  • Reviewing proposal packages for full compliance with solicitation requirements (Sections L & M)
  • Drafting and managing NDAs, teaming agreements, and subcontractor RFP packages
  • Preparing and maintaining reps & certs, OCI mitigation plans, and other compliance deliverables
  • Partnering with FP&A to ensure cost volumes meet compliance standards
  • Supporting CPSR and DCAA audit readiness, ensuring documentation and systems meet federal expectations
  • Managing clause matrices, templates, and SOPs to keep compliance consistent and audit-ready
  • Maintaining contracts systems and workflows in Unanet (CMS), including file structures and approvals
  • Driving process improvements to streamline contract turnaround and strengthen compliance
  • Providing training and guidance to teammates  on compliance standards, best practices, and templates
  • Assisting in the drafting, reviewing, and processing of subcontracts, modifications, and NDAs
  • Tracking contract funding, deliverables, and compliance requirements across a portfolio of contracts
  • Supporting subcontractor coordination and document management

You’ll work closely with business development, finance, and operations to ensure every pursuit is both compliant and competitive.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • US Citizen with the ability to obtain a Top Secret security clearance
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Legal Studies, Finance, or related field (preferred)
  • 5–7 years of experience in federal contracts or compliance, with direct exposure to pre-award proposal support and CPSR/DCAA readiness
  • Strong working knowledge of FAR/DFAR and government contracting compliance standards
  • Experience supporting proposal compliance in federal contracting environments
  • Familiarity with Unanet, Deltek, or other contract lifecycle management tools
  • NCMA certifications (CPCM, CFCM) preferred
  • Proven to be detail-oriented, proactive, and strategic, someone who can balance compliance rigor with business growth.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Salary Range: $125,000 - $150,000

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. The final salary offer will be determined after a thorough review of the candidate's background and alignment with the role.

Additionally, SIXGEN offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including:

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
