As a horizontally integrated aerospace and defense company, we rely on a portfolio of engineering services subcontracts to power our programs.</span></p><p style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px="" 0px;padding:0px;"=""><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px="" 0px;padding:0px;"=""><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In this role, you are the administrative and compliance backbone of Revolution Space’s subcontracting activity. Responsible engineers own the vendor relationships and define the technical scope — your role is to ensure that scope is translated into contractually sound agreements, that all necessary paperwork is in place before work begins, and that the health of each subcontract is tracked and visible to the right stakeholders. You will work closely with Program Managers on scope and deliverables, alongside Finance and Program Controls on cost tracking and financial performance, and with Legal and Contracts on terms, conditions, and flowdowns. This is a high-ownership position for a self-directed professional who takes pride in building rigorous infrastructure that enables engineers and program teams to move fast with confidence.</span></p><p style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px="" 0px;padding:0px;"=""><b><strong style="font-size:18pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Responsibilities:</strong></b></p><h3 style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6;font-size:21pt;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:4px;padding-left:0px;"=""><b><strong style="color:rgb(26,26,46);font-size:11pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Subcontract Administration & Lifecycle Management</strong></b></h3><ul data-pattern="discCircleSquare" data-depth="1" style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;margin:8px="" 0px;line-height:1.6;padding:0px="" 0px="" 32px;list-style-type:disc;"=""><li style="font-size:11pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Own the administrative lifecycle of all subcontracts from requirements intake through closeout, including RFP/RFQ issuance, proposal evaluation, award documentation, modifications, and closeout.</span></li><li style="font-size:11pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Partner with responsible engineers and Program Managers to translate defined technical scope into contractually enforceable SOWs — ensuring deliverables, acceptance criteria, schedules, and performance standards are complete, clear, and aligned with customer and prime contract requirements.</span></li><li style="font-size:11pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Manage Subcontract Data Requirements Lists (SDRLs) and ensure alignment between negotiated scope and prime contract obligations.</span></li><li style="font-size:11pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Develop and maintain standard subcontract templates, terms and conditions libraries, and NDAs;
