The Role

We're hiring a Public Sector Compliance Manager to manage Peregrine's public sector compliance function as we grow in the U.S. market. This is a critical, highly cross-functional role for a detail-oriented operator who understands how compliance programs work in practice — not just on paper. You will be the company's owner for Peregrine’s public sector contractor obligations, building and running the systems, processes, and relationships that keep Peregrine compliant with its obligations as a government contractor. Success in this role requires exceptional organizational discipline and project management skills, as well as the ability to coordinate across multiple cross-functional teams, including Legal, People Operations, Finance, Contracts, and GRC.

What You'll Do

Compliance Program Management

Own our public sector compliance program — audits, FAR reps & certs, SAM.gov registrations, and contract-level obligations tracking across all active contracts

Proactively spot compliance gaps and partner with Legal and Contracts on remediation and new contract onboarding

Run our compliance training program end-to-end, from delivery to auditable recordkeeping

Facility Clearance & Personnel Security

Serve as our primary point of contact with DCSA to establish and maintain Peregrine's facility clearance (FCL)

Manage the full personnel clearance lifecycle — investigations, determinations, reinvestigations, and records — partnering with People Ops on cleared-employee onboarding/offboarding

Ethics & Conflicts of Interest

Administer our ethics hotline, case tracking, and reporting to Legal and leadership

Run our conflict of interest disclosure process and political contribution logging under FAR ethics requirements

Support upkeep of our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct

Vendor & Subcontractor Compliance

Lead pre-award due diligence on subcontractors and vendors, including debarment/exclusion checks

Maintain vendor compliance records and partner with Procurement on FAR/DFARS flow-down clauses

What We Look For

5+ years of experience in public sector compliance, contract administration, or a closely related field — you have seen the full compliance lifecycle and know where the landmines are

Deep working knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and DFARS, including representations and certifications, mandatory disclosure rules, and clause flow-down requirements

Hands-on experience with SAM.gov registration and maintenance, CAGE codes, and entity validation processes

Experience managing facility clearances (FCL) and/or personnel security clearances in a government contractor environment; familiarity with DCSA/DSS processes preferred

Demonstrated ability to build and operate compliance tracking systems and comfort owning a compliance calendar, managing obligation logs, and driving cross-functional accountability without being the most senior person in the room

Experience administering ethics and compliance programs, including hotline intake, training programs, and COI processes

Excellent project management skills with a high degree of ownership; you can manage multiple concurrent workstreams across different stakeholder groups without dropping the ball

Strong written and verbal communication skills; you can translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance for cross-functional stakeholders

A natural collaborator who builds trusted relationships across Legal, People Ops, Finance, GRC, and Contracts; your ability to work cross-functionally is central to your success in this role

JD or other legal training is not required and is not a substitute for operational compliance experience

Located in Washington, D.C. and open to working in our office 4x/week

Annual Salary + Benefits + Equity (if applicable) + Bonus (if applicable)$140,000—$175,000 USD
