Contracts and Compliance Specialist

Flexion Inc. • Remote 

Why you want to work at Flexion:

We’re looking for a Contracts and Compliance Specialist with deep expertise in federal and commercial contracting and an unwavering commitment to regulatory excellence. Most of the work we do supports large-scale, enterprise-wide systems for commercial clients or government agencies—this role in particular ensures that every engagement we take on is delivered with integrity, full compliance, and minimal risk.

At Flexion, an agile software company that’s been delivering excellence for over 30 years, our company culture is built on autonomy, trust, and transparency. We empower teams to remain self-sufficient and self-directed by hiring people who can solve complex problems through collaboration—this means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles (legal coordination, risk analysis, proposal support, etc.) as needed. Every member of a cross-functional team is a leader who takes responsibility for the entire team’s success, mirroring the company’s overall low-bureaucracy structure.

We believe that growth comes from working together—and that includes supporting each other through thoughtful, constructive feedback. Flexion team members are expected to help each other grow, challenge ideas respectfully, and integrate feedback as a normal part of the workday.

What the job looks like:

You’ll be responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal contracts and ensuring our operations remain compliant with applicable laws, regulations, and agency requirements. 

Contract Management & Administration

• Draft, review, and negotiate contracts, subcontracts, NDAs, teaming agreements, and modifications

• Support full contract lifecycle management (RFP through closeout), including amendments and renewals

• Maintain contract files, documentation, and audit-ready records

• Coordinate with legal, finance, and delivery teams on contract terms, risks, and obligations

Government Compliance & Regulatory Oversight

• Ensure compliance with federal regulations (FAR, DFARS), agency policies, and contract requirements

• Monitor contract performance (CPARS) and ensure adherence to terms, conditions, and reporting requirements

• Track and support compliance with government-wide contract vehicles (e.g., GSA MAS, GWACs)

• Maintain awareness of regulatory updates and assess impact to the business

Risk Management & Audits

• Identify, analyze, and track organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) and mitigation strategies

• Conduct internal compliance reviews and support external audits (e.g., DCAA, agency audits)

• Investigate and resolve contract compliance issues, disputes, or findings

Procurement & Subcontracting Support

• Assist in developing and issuing Statements of Work (SOWs), task orders, and subcontract agreements

• Evaluate subcontractor compliance and ensure flow-down of federal requirements

• Support proposal efforts by reviewing contract terms, representations, and certifications

Reporting, Tracking & Documentation

• Track key contract milestones, deliverables, funding ceilings, and periods of performance

• Prepare compliance reports, dashboards, and documentation for leadership and clients

• Maintain systems for contract lifecycle management and compliance tracking

Training & Internal Enablement

• Coordinate and track annual compliance training (e.g., ethics, security, procurement integrity)

• Provide guidance to internal teams on contract requirements, compliance expectations, and best practices

Stakeholder Coordination

• Serve as a liaison between internal teams, subcontractors, and government stakeholders

• Support communication during contract negotiations, execution, and issue resolution

Why we want to hire you:

You bring clarity and structure to complex regulatory environments. You can translate the fine print of a federal regulation into actionable guidance for a delivery team, and you understand that compliance isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a foundation for trust. You welcome ambiguity as a puzzle to solve, and you stay current on regulatory changes so your team never gets caught off guard.

You have:

• At least 4 years of experience in federal contract administration or compliance, ideally at an IT services or government contracting firm

• Strong working knowledge of FAR, DFARS, and associated agency supplements

• Experience managing GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts and/or GWAC vehicles

• Familiarity with DCAA audit processes and government-wide compliance expectations

• Experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating subcontract agreements and teaming arrangements

• Proven ability to track contract milestones, deliverables, and funding across multiple simultaneous contracts

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills—you can explain complex regulatory requirements to non-specialists

• Strong organizational skills and a meticulous eye for detail

• A bachelor’s degree in business, law, public administration, or a related field—or commensurate experience

• Experience with contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools or similar systems is a plus

• NCMA CPCM, CFCM, or equivalent professional certification is a plus

At Flexion, we live by these principles:

• Speak openly and honestly with your colleagues and clients about problems and proposed solutions

• Welcome and handle changing requirements and priorities with little or no warning

• Collaborate online in small groups about 50% of the time

• Encourage simple and minimal solutions that keep options open

• Expect and vocally advocate for quality first

• Offer and welcome constructive feedback as a tool for continuous team and individual growth

• Learn new practices and techniques as the situation demands

• Ensure the teams develop demonstrable software every week or two

• Do what needs to be done to deliver the product or project without ego or attitude

• Dig deep to find the root causes of problems so we can create the right solutions

• Relentlessly improve yourself, your team, and your processes

• Embrace AI assistants (e.g., ChatGPT, Notebook) as force multipliers to accelerate innovation, iterate faster, and maintain high-quality output
