Director, Gov't Program Compliance and Accounting - Columbia, MD

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Recently named by Newsweek as one of the Best American Mid-Sized Workplaces in 2026, Rohde & Schwarz is seeking an experienced Director of Government Contract Compliance to lead our organization's compliance strategy across all US government programs. This senior leadership role sets policy direction, drives enterprise-wide enforcement, and serves as the organization's senior authority on government contract compliance and accounting matters. The ideal candidate brings deep regulatory expertise, strong cross-functional leadership skills, and a proven track record of audit success." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

About the role

with

containing that paragraph. Then "Your tasks" list bullet points. Those are responsibilities. We'll put

Responsibilities

with

• each bullet. List items: - Own and direct overarching compliance strategy for all US government programs, ensuring full alignment with FAR/DFARS and agency-specific regulations - Design, standardize, and enforce the corporate EVMS Integrated Performance Management Framework across all business segments - Lead the development, implementation, and enforcement of enterprise-wide compliance policies and procedures, keeping them current as regulations evolve - Lead the development, implementation, and enforcement of compliance policies and procedures, keeping them current as regulations evolve for global related party entities - Own organizational readiness for internal and external audits (CPSR, DCAA, etc.), overseeing documentation, controls, and risk mitigation - Serve as the primary escalation point for compliance issues, partnering with senior cross-functional leaders to resolve them and prevent recurrence - Direct continuous internal surveillance testing using DCMA EV Compliance Metrics (DECM) and data-driven analysis to proactively uncover data anomalies, baseline breaches, or calculation faults - Oversee the drafting, deployment, and formal closure of corporate Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) responding to any external Corrective Action Requests (CARs) - Define the baseline competency requirements and curriculum for Control Account Managers (CAMs), project schedulers, and finance analysts across the enterprise - Build, mentor, and manage a team of compliance and accounting professionals - Other duties as assigned Note there is duplicate line: "Lead the development, implementation, and enforcement of enterprise-wide compliance policies and procedures, keeping them current as regulations evolve" appears twice (once generic, once for global related party entities). We'll keep both as they are distinct (one generic, one for global related party entities). Not duplicate exactly but similar. Now "Your Qualifications" section: bullet list. - Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field; MBA or advanced degree preferred - 12+ years of progressive experience in US government contract compliance, with significant FAR/DFARS and federal audit exposure - Demonstrated success leading compliance functions and managing audit outcomes at an organizational level - Prior people-management experience - Proven oversight experience with major cost and schedule integration tools such as Deltek Cobra, Primavera P6, Open Plan Professional, and Empower - Strong executive presence and a track record advising senior leadership on compliance risk and strategy - Ability to work cross functionally to accomplish organizational goals and compliance - CPA, CGFM, or similar certification a plus - In order to be considered, candidates must reside in the US, have US citizenship, and be able to obtain a US Government Public Trust Security Clearance We could separate Qualifications and Skills. The posting lumps qualifications. We can treat "Your Qualifications" as Qualifications section. Skills could be derived from some items like "Strong executive presence", "Ability to work cross functionally", "Proven oversight experience with tools". But we can keep them under Qualifications. However we need to follow instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Qualifications. For Skills, we could extract some but maybe not needed. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called "Qualifications & Skills" but headings must be from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot create custom headings. So we need to decide which sections to include. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. We also have Pay info: "The total compensation for this position is $132K-$175K. Total compensation includes base salary, variable pay (when applicable) plus benefits. The range is determined by the position, geographic location and level. Individual pay within the range is determined by several factors including location, education or training, relevant work history, sales incentive structure and job-related skills." That's specific pay range. So we should include Pay section. Benefits: The posting mentions "benefits" in total compensation description but not specific benefits. Later under "Our offer": "Flexible working hour modelsTraining & continuing educationPrivately owned companyPromoting innovationLong-term & attractive work environment". That seems like benefits. So we can include Benefits section with those items. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's "Flexible working hour models" which could be schedule. But we already used that under Benefits. Could also put under Schedule. However we should not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It does mention flexible working hour models, which is schedule-related. So we could include Schedule section with that. But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine flexible working hour models under Benefits, and not create Schedule. Since schedule is not explicitly stated besides flexible hours, we could treat as Benefits. We'll not create Schedule section. Requirements: Could be similar to Qualifications. But we have Qualifications section already. Requirements could be things like "must reside in the US, have US citizenship, and be able to obtain a US Government Public Trust Security Clearance". That's a requirement. Could be placed under Requirements. However we already have that in Qualifications bullet. We could split: Qualifications for education/experience, Requirements for citizenship/clearance. But we need to avoid thin sections. Might be better to keep all under Qualifications. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we will not create Requirements if we can put its content elsewhere. We'll put citizenship/clearance under Qualifications as a bullet. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to format. We must not include markdown code fences. Just raw HTML. We'll produce:

  Check for any boilerplate removed: We removed EEO statement, equal opportunity, application instructions, etc. Also removed duplicated lines? We kept both similar lines but they are not exact duplicates. The line "Lead the development, implementation, and enforcement of enterprise-wide compliance policies and procedures, keeping them current as regulations evolve" appears twice but one is generic, the other for global related party entities. We kept both. We also removed "Interested? We are looking forward to receiving your application!" and the company description after pay? Actually we kept company description? We removed the paragraph about Rohde & Schwarz being a global technology company etc. That's boilerplate? It's about the company but not required? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description is not explicitly listed as boilerplate but could be considered "About the company" which might be considered not required? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description is substantive? It's about the company, not the role. Might be considered not required for the job posting but could be considered extra. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but also says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description is not those categories. It might be considered substantive. However the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive
