Federal Government contract compliance oversight
Federal Government transaction analysis and review
As the candidate demonstrates mastery of the Core Knowledge and Responsibilities, additional areas of responsibility and oversight will be added, however the Core Knowledge and Responsibilities will remain the Corporate Counsel's. Additional areas of responsibility will include:
Federal Government subcontracting plan oversight
Federal Government purchasing system oversight
Federal Government incurred cost claim allowability analysis

Strongly desired additional qualifications:

Compensation will vary significantly with qualifications. Federal contract experience will be particularly important in this regard.
A potential basic salary range of approximately $150,000 to $200,000 would be anticipated for the initial period of mastery of the Core Knowledge and Responsibilities. This range is highly dependent upon qualifications and experience, and is subject to adjustment up or down in the Company's discretion if it deems adjustment to be appropriate. The basic salary is separate from bonuses and Company contributions to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, which are highly variable decisions made annually depending upon various corporate business and individual considerations.
*Obtaining a U.S. Government security clearance involves a comprehensive background check. Candidates are potentially eligible for a clearance if they are U.S. citizens, have demonstrated sound financial management (including good credit) over time, are free of criminal records, have limited foreign contacts or ties, and possess other personal attributes indicative of the highest degree of reliability so they can be entrusted by the Government with the protection of its most sensitive national security information.
