• Support export compliance administration and recordkeeping, including conducting and maintaining screening records, authorizations, training records, and other documentation associated with export compliance.
• Assist with regulatory and corporate governance administration by maintaining records, tracking deadlines, organizing supporting documentation, and coordinating required signatures, approvals, or submissions at the direction of the Senior Contracts Manager.
• Coordinate signatures, document distribution, and filing of fully executed agreements.
• Assist with preparation and administration of amendments, notices, certifications, representations, contract summaries, and other routine contract-related documentation.
• Support vendor and supplier onboarding by collecting and maintaining required contractual and compliance documentation.
• Support the consistent application of established contracting and compliance procedures, templates, approval workflows, checklists, and recordkeeping requirements; identify gaps, recurring issues, or opportunities for improvement and raise them with the Senior Contracts Manager.
• Respond to routine internal questions regarding contracting processes, documentation requirements, and agreement status, escalating substantive contractual, legal, regulatory, or compliance matters to the Senior Contracts Manager.
• Provide organizational and administrative support to the Senior Contracts Manager across contracting, compliance, regulatory, corporate governance, and related activities as needed.

Required Qualifications
