We’re looking for innovative professionals who thrive in mission-critical environments and are passionate about shaping the future of air traffic management.

At Peraton, you won’t just support the mission — you’ll define it.

Join a team dedicated to protecting the safety and integrity of U.S. air travel. Peraton is seeking a accomplished and results-driven Procurement Manager to oversee acquisition operations, supplier management, and contract execution in support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

This role requires a hands-on leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, values operational excellence, and ensures that procurement decisions align with the FAA’s mission to advance aviation safety and modernization.

In this position, you will:

  • Manage all aspects of procurement operations across multiple FAA programs, ensuring alignment with AMS and FAR policies.

  • Lead the end-to-end procurement process, including acquisition planning, solicitation, negotiation, award, and post-award management.

  • Oversee supplier relationships, ensuring contract compliance, cost control, and on-time performance.

  • Conduct cost and price analyses, ensuring reasonableness, allowability, and allocability of expenditures.

  • Collaborate with Contracts, Legal, Finance, and Program Management teams to ensure contract and funding integrity.

  • Monitor and report procurement performance metrics, cycle time, and efficiency indicators.

  • Lead process improvement initiatives, promoting standardization, automation, and procurement best practices.

  • Manage contract modifications, renewals, and closeouts, ensuring all deliverables meet contractual obligations.

  • Ensure audit readiness and compliance with FAA, DOT, and federal acquisition requirements.

  • Support development and maintenance of procurement policies, procedures, and workforce training materials.

  • Develop audit-ready documentation and maintaining compliance across multiple procurement portfolios.

Why This Role Matters

Every FAA modernization program and operational mission depends on strategic, compliant, and cost-effective procurement. As a Procurement Manager, you ensure that the FAA’s acquisitions—ranging from technical systems and IT infrastructure to facility and maintenance contracts—are executed with precision and transparency. Your leadership guarantees that supplier relationships, contractual obligations, and fiscal accountability all contribute to sustained safety, performance, and innovation across the National Airspace System (NAS).
