We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Manager, Contracts to lead and oversee development/integration and production contract portfolios for two critical and growing program areas within our Naval Power, Naval Air Missiles (NAM) organization.

The other program is a legacy standoff, air-to-ground weapon system that is reemerging due to strong Foreign Military Sales (FMS) demand. The portfolios include mainly Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based domestic and FMS contracts with the U.S. Navy (NAVAIR) with a small element of Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) integration and licensing efforts.

This position is well suited for a highly motivated, well-organized person who enjoys working in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
