What You Will Do:

The Senior Acquisitions Project Coordinator will be responsible for assisting a federal client with the coordination of federal contracting activities and development of federal acquisition documents related to professional services, software, hardware, or other IT peripheral equipment. Prior experience with Federal contracting and acquisitions is preferred but not required.

The Senior Acquisitions Project Coordinator works closely with, and under supervision of, the project manager (Engagement Lead and Acquisitions SME) to execute project delivery, craft acquisition strategies, and develop various documents related to acquisition planning and procurement. The Senior Acquisitions Project Coordinator supports identifying strategic opportunities to improve customer service within the client’s bureau and across the larger enterprise. This can include supporting the writing of acquisition-relevant documents on behalf of the client’s customers, drafting talking points and email communications, managing stakeholder/customer outreach, researching historical documents on the client/customer SharePoint sites and public databases, as well as performing qualitative and quantitative research and analyzing findings to develop whitepapers and presentations.

The Senior Acquisitions Project Coordinator largely supports the project management activities and serves as a leading member of a 4-person subcontracting team. Duties include coordinating and developing acquisition documents (e.g., Requests for Information (RFIs), Acquisition Plans (APs), Brand Name Justifications (J&As), Request for Quotes (RFQs), Statements of Work (SOWs), and Independent Government Cost Estimates (IGCEs)).

In addition to facilitating meetings with customers, the Senior Acquisitions Project Coordinator may also interact with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their resellers, as well as other federal contractor teams. The Senior Acquisitions Project Coordinator attends and takes notes during all meetings to document pricing discussions, possible contract terms and conditions, among other critical discussion topics that may inform an acquisition.

Successful candidates will have experience in project/program management, meeting facilitation, and technical writing. Qualified candidates must have strong attention to detail, skills to manage multiple and competing priorities, communicate effectively in English (verbally and in writing), as well as have a flexible and agile attitude with a willingness to provide support where needed to ensure forward movement of the client’s acquisition packages and broader team activities.
