This position is essential in streamlining contract management processes, mitigating risk, and fostering strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners. The role requires exceptional negotiation, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

Responsibilities

• Draft, review, and negotiate a variety of contracts, including client and vendor agreements.

• Maintain an organized repository of contracts and related documentation.
• Apply rigorous attention to detail across contract terms, defined terms, dates, dollar amounts, and internal cross-references, catching inconsistencies and drafting errors before execution rather than after.
• Maintain accurate contract data and documentation within Salesforce and Conga.
• Prepare reports and analyses on contract statuses and key metrics.
• Assess both immediate transactional risk and long-tail exposure — auto-renewal and evergreen terms, multi-year commitments, indemnity and liability tails, data and IP obligations that survive termination — and articulate the tradeoffs to business stakeholders in practical terms.
• Assist with audits, reporting, compliance reviews, and other special projects as needed.
• Help identify contract issues and support timely resolution and escalation where appropriate.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in a corporate legal department or high-volume business environment.
• Paralegal certificate or formal legal training.
