This role offers the chance to play a key part in keeping high-volume contract and procurement activities moving forward smoothly and efficiently. You will oversee the day-to-day coordination of agreement reviews, approvals, and supporting documentation, helping ensure requests progress seamlessly through the full procurement lifecycle.

• Monitor progress across active requests, including approvals, signature routing, and unresolved items, to help maintain timely turnaround.

• Maintain complete and well-organized contract files within designated systems and repositories so records remain current and accessible.

• Partner with procurement, legal, and business teams to clarify requirements, resolve process questions, and keep contract workflows advancing.

• Apply established contracting policies, templates, and playbooks consistently while identifying matters that require escalation or additional review.

• Support purchasing-related activities by coordinating documentation tied to procurement functions, buying processes, and related contract management needs.


Qualifications:

• At least 4 years of experience in procurement, contracts administration, legal support, legal operations, or a closely related function.

• Proven ability to manage a high volume of contract or procurement requests with minimal supervision.

• Strong working knowledge of corporate procurement practices, purchase order processes, and contract management principles.

• Excellent organizational skills with close attention to detail, sound prioritization, and reliable follow-through.

• Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both legal and non-legal stakeholders.

• Good judgment in applying established procedures, recognizing exceptions, and escalating issues when appropriate.

• Comfort working in contract lifecycle, procurement, and workflow systems; experience with Zip or similar platforms is preferred.

• Familiarity with contract negotiations and related agreement types, including subordination and non-disturbance agreements, is a plus.
