This role requires excellent organizational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and a collaborative, service-oriented approach to supporting internal teams and business stakeholders. In addition to core contracting responsibilities, the Contracts Specialist will contribute to broader legal initiatives.

This position goes beyond simply managing RFP responses and contract negotiations. This role will champion a culture of collaboration and consistency by helping internal teams understand the benefits of a structured proposal process.

  • Work cross functionally with teams throughout the business to ensure contractual compliance and best practices
  • Lead contract negotiations with publicly funded institutions, balancing state requirements with commercial tolerances
  • Develop and maintain scalable contract processes, templates, and playbooks

  • Familiarity with state and university contracting standards, such as indemnity, data security, limitation of liability, and procurement regulations
  • Excellent negotiation, analytical, and interpersonal communication skills
  • Fair, strong, concise and balanced negotiation approach
