Full Job Description

Amca is building America’s new industrial base. Since the 1990s, our ability to build new aviation and military systems and maintain the ones we already have has eroded. Today, the gap between what the nation needs to produce and what it is capable of producing is the largest it has been in generations. To help close that gap, Amca rapidly develops and manufactures new critical components and subsystems required to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. Today, we operate seven factories nationwide, including our advanced prototyping and testing headquarters in El Segundo, and deliver avionics, hydraulic, and electrical components for platforms such as the F-35, F-16, F/A-18, 737MAX, 787, A320neo, A321, Mk-48, and M1 Abrams. Overview: Amca is seeking a Compliance Manager to build, scale, and embed a companywide compliance program at a rapidly growing aerospace and defense component supplier. Reporting directly to the General Counsel, this role will partner closely with various functions throughout the organization. The Compliance Manager will operate at both the strategic and execution levels, designing companywide compliance programs while also implementing practical solutions at all levels of the organization. Responsibilities: Build and Scale the Compliance Program: Design and implement a scalable compliance program. Establish and build upon existing policies, procedures, documentation standards, and internal controls. Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership and functional teams. Embed compliance into day-to-day operations across engineering, manufacturing, and contracting. Contractual Flow Downs and Regulatory Requirements Own compliance or regulatory flow downs across the organization, including Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses. Review contracts and subcontracts to ensure accurate incorporation and applicability of required flow-down clause
