Using cutting-edge AI and proprietary methodologies, we transform open-source data into actionable insights that help protect technology, talent, and supply chains from nation-state risks. Summary Strider is seeking a Government Contracts Specialist to support the acquisition strategy and contract execution behind our growing U.S. government business.

You will partner closely with Growth and Strider’s General Counsel to help teams understand acquisition requirements, evaluate contracting approaches, and move opportunities efficiently toward execution. This role offers the opportunity to apply federal acquisition expertise in a growing national security technology company, with meaningful ownership of the processes and strategies that enable Strider to serve government customers. Candidates with current or prior experience as Federal Contract Specialists are encouraged to apply.

- Experience reviewing, developing, or negotiating federal contracts and related agreements.
- Knowledge of federal contract types and pricing approaches, including firm-fixed-price, cost-plus or cost-reimbursement arrangements, and cost and price analysis.

- Demonstrated ability to interpret acquisition and contractual requirements, identify issues, and communicate clear guidance to business and legal stakeholders.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to develop and review acquisition, proposal, and contract documentation.
