Position Summary

The Senior Director, Program and Contracts Integration is a senior leadership position within Amentum’s Mission Solutions organization, focused on the Expeditionary Diplomacy and Supply Chain business line. This role serves as the primary strategic integrator and central point of contact that closes the critical gap between Program/Operations, Growth/Capture, and Contracts functions.

Reporting directly to the Vice President of Contracts for the Mission Solutions Business group providing direct support to the Senior Vice President (or designee), the Senior Director proactively shapes the conditions for successful capture, award, transition, and delivery of complex global programs involving goods and services. The position drives Annual Operating Plan (AOP) objectives through measurable performance improvements, maintains forward-looking leadership on all contract-related administration, compliance, and functional matters, and serves as Acting Deputy Vice President of Contracts (or equivalent) as required.

The role provides functional leadership and supervisory oversight to contracts and subcontracts professionals, while seamlessly integrating key VP-level Contracts functions, including strategic oversight of the prime and subcontract portfolio, development of contracting and subcontracting strategies aligned with business growth objectives, enterprise-wide compliance leadership, risk governance, policy development, and functional guidance to contracts and subcontract management teams. The Senior Director develops and implements enterprise-grade policies, procedures, and frameworks to ensure seamless end-to-end integration of contract and subcontract operations into the business line while tracking and improving defined KPIs such as contract compliance rate (>95% target), subcontract flow-down compliance, small business utilization goals, contract cycle times, risk mitigation effectiveness, and on-time delivery performance. By leading integrated cross-functional working groups and fostering collaboration, this role eliminates silos, reduces risk, accelerates win rates and execution excellence, and supports sustainable growth in a highly regulated defense and government contracting environment.

This high-visibility role demands a seasoned leader capable of operating at both strategic and operational levels while providing VP-equivalent contracts and subcontract leadership — including people leadership — to deliver measurable improvements in performance, compliance, and mission outcomes.

• Provide strategic contract and subcontract expertise and senior functional leadership across the full acquisition lifecycle, including proposal development support, negotiations, modifications, contract and subcontract administration, and performance optimization.

• Oversee the development and execution of comprehensive contracting and subcontracting strategies that support business line growth objectives, portfolio expansion, small business subcontracting goals (e.g., achievement against SBA-mandated percentages for small/disadvantaged/women-owned businesses), and alignment with corporate priorities.

• Lead the design and implementation of effective subcontractor sourcing, selection, and management approaches, including make-or-buy decisions, competitive sourcing, and long-term supplier relationship strategies tailored to expeditionary and global supply chain environments, with metrics focused on supplier performance scores and subcontract compliance rates.
