Description
Leidos currently has an opening for an experienced Senior Contracts Representative on the Land Systems Business Area team within the Defense Systems Sector. This is an exciting opportunity to use your skills and experience to support the research, development, and production of cutting-edge technology to protect our warfighters and country. The selected candidate will support all contract management activities for a diverse portfolio of contracts.
Individual contributor role. The position is based in Huntsville, Alabama with telework available.
Primary Responsibilities
Provide the oversight and evaluation of major proposals; monitor major contracts; be a critical asset in key negotiations; demonstrate ability to resolve multi-faceted and complex contractual/customer issues as they arise; resolve performance issues; identify risks and propose mitigation strategies; guide others through change management; ensure compliance with contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, and Leidos policies; draft clear, concise, and legally sound contracts; effectively review and analyze contract terms to include intellectual property provisions; and develop and maintain excellent customer relationships.

Basic Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”
If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.
Original Posting: October 23, 2025
For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.
Pay Range: Pay Range $72,150.00 - $130,425.00
The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
