Senior IT Procurement Contractor - CMMC, CUI, ITAR (h/f)

Are you a Senior IT Procurement Contractor with experience negotiating managed services in regulated environments?
emagine has an opportunity for you to support a global compliance program with a US-exposed business unit.

About the Mission

Our client is in the final stages of selecting a strategic partner to deliver both IT Build and IT Run services within a CMMC/CUI/ITAR perimeter. To reinforce sourcing capacity during this critical phase, we’re seeking a contractor to lead commercial workstreams from RFP evaluation and BAFO through negotiation, contract finalization, and governance mobilization.

Key Tasks & Deliverables

• Lead the commercial workstream for CMMC partner selection, collaborating with stakeholders across Procurement, PMO, Legal, Export Control, Finance, and IT Ops.

• Drive RFP close-out: manage Q&A, bidder clarifications, scenario analysis, and BAFO orchestration.

• Negotiate with US-based providers on pricing, scope, milestones, and contractual protections.

• Structure and negotiate contracts: MSA, SoWs, SLAs/OLAs, service credits, change control, exit/transition, benchmarking, audit rights, and subcontractor controls.

• Embed regulatory requirements: CMMC, CUI, ITAR/EAR, incident reporting, data residency, and audit rights.

• Validate Microsoft GCC High and Azure Gov US licensing and operating models.

• Build governance models: QBR/MBR cadence, KPIs/CSFs, compliance dashboards, escalation paths.

• Perform cost and commercial analysis: TCO modeling, rate-card normalization, milestone/fee structures, and indexation.

• Prepare decision support materials: steering decks, redline packs, and executive briefings.

• Support post-award mobilization: contract-to-operation handoff and governance kickoff.

Skills & Experience

• 8–12+ years in IT sourcing/procurement, with a strong track record in managed services and outsourcing agreements.

• Experience negotiating with US-based providers in regulated environments.

• Deep knowledge of CMMC, CUI, and ITAR/EAR requirements.

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft GCC High and Azure Gov US licensing and support boundaries.

• Strong contract governance acumen: KPIs, SLAs, service credits, audit rights, and reporting.

• Assertive stakeholder management and confident negotiation style.

• Excellent written deliverables: playbooks, term sheets, redlines, and executive summaries.

• Fluent English required; French a plus.

Value Proposition

This is a strategic, high-impact role supporting a global compliance initiative. You’ll work with senior stakeholders across IT, legal, and security, shaping contracts and governance for a long-term transformation. The role is fully remote, with strong overlap required with US Eastern Time.

Teams are collaborative and enabling, with a need for autonomous, self-starting candidates.
