Are you passionate about combining your procurement law expertise with big picture business thinking to empower innovation, drive critical missions, and deliver enduring growth and value? At Booz Allen, you’ll join a team of experienced professionals motivated to excel and realize values-driven change for our clients, colleagues, and communities. We bring bold thinking to support advanced technology underlying our nations’ most critical missions, from the frontlines to the seabed, to space.

You’ll anticipate business needs and develop practical solutions with agility and action. You’ll establish trusted partnerships across the company and collaborate with fellow members of the Legal, Ethics and Compliance team to protect and advance the company while navigating the complex, multifaceted, and often novel legal and compliance risks we face today. This will include helping respond to, synthesize, and adapt to new acquisition reform executive and legislative policy initiatives while also envisioning the landscape necessary to enable our growth objectives. Guided by Booz Allen’s purpose and values, together we’ll anticipate and proactively prepare for the issues we’ll encounter tomorrow. This position is located in McLean, VA.
