Contracts Attorney

We are looking for an experienced Contracts Attorney to support a growing consulting organization. This role is suited for a legal specialist who can take ownership of day-to-day agreement management, guide documents through review and approval, and help create a more efficient contracting approach. The position works closely with internal stakeholders on service-related agreements while identifying matters that should be elevated for specialized legal review.

Responsibilities:

• Manage the full contract lifecycle for client and service agreements, from intake and review through revisions, approvals, and final execution.

• Draft, examine, and refine statements of work and related commercial documents to ensure consistency with governing master agreements.

• Partner with executives and cross-functional teams to collect required details, resolve open items, and keep agreements moving without unnecessary delays.

• Monitor contract status, maintain organized documentation, and provide clear visibility into pending actions, deadlines, and approvals.

• Assess contractual terms for risk, compliance, and business alignment, particularly in regulated client environments such as healthcare organizations.

• Escalate complex legal questions, nonstandard provisions, and higher-risk matters to outside counsel or other legal resources when appropriate.

• Recommend practical improvements to contract coordination and approval workflows to support a more scalable in-house process.

• Communicate proactively with stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions to support timely review, negotiation, and completion of agreements.

Qualifications:

• Licensed Attorney with at least 5 years of experience handling contracts, drafting, and negotiation responsibilities.
• Strong background in contract administration, contract review, and lifecycle management for commercial agreements.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and drive documents forward with limited supervision.
• Experience reviewing statements of work and aligning transactional documents with master service agreements.
• Familiarity with multi-state contracting considerations and the ability to recognize when legal escalation is required.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a strong ability to coordinate among business stakeholders.
• Highly organized approach to tracking contracts, managing follow-up, and maintaining accurate records.
