## About the role

As CHAOS Industries scales production of advanced defense systems, our supply base becomes mission-critical—and so does the discipline with which we award and manage subcontracts. We are seeking a Subcontracts Manager to own the full subcontract lifecycle, from source selection through closeout, for the major subcontracts and supplier agreements that support our programs. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience across the full subcontract lifecycle, including FAR/DFARS flowdowns and cost or price analysis
- Familiarity with FAR Part 44, Contractor Purchasing System Reviews (CPSR), and consent-to-subcontract requirements
- Experience with contractual flowdowns and supplier compliance requirements
- Strong understanding of supplier risk management and governance principles
- Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
- U.S. citizenship is required: this role accesses export-controlled information and requires a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Secret security clearance—current, or the ability to obtain and maintain one
