A Sr Staff Contracts Manager at Shield AI in Washington, D.C., working on site and full time. The role sits with defense simulation contracting operations: preparing, negotiating and managing contracts and subcontracts, and keeping them compliant with federal rules and internal policy. The posting asks for strong working knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement and other defense-contract regulations, plus attention to detail. Shield AI builds autonomy software and military aircraft; this position is a contracts and compliance job rather than a technical one.
