Associate Managing Director, ECC Contracts (Federal)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. The intro paragraph about KPMG is generic but could be considered "About the role". However they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The intro about KPMG is not job title; it's company description. Could be considered "About the role". It's substantive. So we can include an
About the role
with acontaining that paragraph. Then Responsibilities: list items. Qualifications: list items. Benefits: description. Pay: include salary range. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out all that. We need to preserve all substantive information: responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, company intro. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact text? Probably we can keep the substance but not necessarily verbatim? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep the details, but we can rephrase? Safer to keep the sentences as they are, maybe break into list items. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract responsibilities bullet points: - Design and execute a service-centric delivery model for federal contracting, overseeing the end-to-end contracting lifecycle from pre-award strategy to post-award closeout, ensuring rapid response times and mission alignment - Partner with senior federal practice leaders and business development to align contracting capacity with capture strategies and pipeline growth; manage resource allocation via a robust KPI and SLA framework to optimize velocity and cost-efficiency - Architect and maintain a unified federal contracting framework - including FAR/DFARS compliance policies, templates, negotiation playbooks, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to streamline the procurement lifecycle and safeguard firm interests - Serve as the central operational liaison between federal practice leaders and the Office of General Counsel (OGC), translating complex statutory/regulatory requirements into practical, business-friendly contracting guidance that accelerates proposal and deal velocity - Lead and scale a high-performing, multi-tiered contracting organization, driving talent development, strategic resource allocation, and a culture of continuous improvement; lead the organizational adoption and everyday execution of advanced contracting technologies, CLM systems, and AI tools to optimize delivery, data integrity, and operational scale - Act with integrity, professionalism, and personal responsibility to uphold KPMG's respectful and courteous work environment Qualifications bullet points: - Minimum fifteen years (with a minimum five years in a senior leadership capacity) of recent extensive progressive experience in federal contract management, procurement policy, and compliance, preferably within a major federal systems integrator, the federal practice of a Big 4 or management consulting firm, or a leading aerospace and defense contractor - Master's degree from an accredited college or university is preferred; minimum of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university is required - Combine superior communication skills with a demonstrated ability to negotiate at the executive-to-executive level, driving collaboration, consensus, and strategic alignment across internal partners, practice leaders, and external Federal Sector clients; professional certifications: National Contract Management Association (NCMA) certifications, such as Certified Professional Contract Manager (CPCM) or Certified Federal Contract Manager (CFCM), are highly preferred - Deep familiarity with Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) software, AI-assisted contract review systems, and data-driven operational reporting - Demonstrated track record of subject matter expertise in FAR/DFARS, CAS, and GSA requirements, including extensive experience serving as a designated lead for Government audits, leading complex federal negotiations, and maintaining regulatory compliance integrity - Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa) Benefits paragraph: - KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health. Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday. Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work. Pay paragraph: - California Salary Range: $198000 - $357000 - Also statement: KPMG LLP and its subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges. If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires who will work in the location(s) listed. Any offered salary is determined based on relevant factors such as applicant's skills, job responsibilities, prior relevant experience, certain degrees and certifications and market considerations. In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package... (but that's benefits). We'll keep the salary range statement and the explanation about determination. We should not include the link or the "Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA". That's maybe application instruction? It's not boilerplate but it's a link for salary ranges. Might be considered part of pay info. But instruction: remove application instructions. This is not exactly application instruction but a link for salary ranges. Might be okay to keep? Safer to keep the salary range and the explanation about determination, but drop the link. Also we should not include EEO etc. So we strip those paragraphs. Now construct HTML:
