Lead cross-functional initiatives to align legal, procurement, compliance, and finance teams on contract policies, approval workflows, and documentation practices.
Train and mentor legal operations staff and business stakeholders on contracting standards, template usage, and system navigation.
Partner with legal leadership to track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs), risk mitigation strategies, and audit readiness.
Stay current with industry’s best practices and emerging technologies in contract operations and make recommendations for adoption or enhancement.
Act as primary liaison between Legal and IT or external vendors regarding contract systems upgrades, user support, and business continuity planning.
Ensure the organization’s contracts meet internal standards and legal, regulatory, and corporate governance requirements.

8–10+ years of contract management or legal operations experience, with demonstrated progression and increasing responsibility.
Proven expertise with CLM platforms (e.g., Conga CLM), including configuration, optimization, and reporting functions.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional contract-related initiatives and implement process improvements with measurable outcomes.
Strong understanding of contract law principles, privacy, compliance (e.g., anti-kickback, data protection), and pharma/biotech regulatory considerations.
Excellent project management and organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize, execute, and drive outcomes independently.
Highly effective communicator—able to explain complex processes clearly and influence stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
Comfortable using data to assess performance, support recommendations, and inform leadership decision-making.
