- Provide guidance and training on contract management policies and procedures.
- Leverage CLM technology to improve visibility, compliance, and operational effectiveness.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Legal Studies, Contract Management, or a related field.
- Experience in biotechnology, medical device, pharmaceutical, healthcare, or regulated manufacturing environments in the life sciences.
- 5-7+ years of contract management, contract administration, legal operations, or procurement experience.
- Experience with DocuSign CLM or similar platforms (Icertis, Agiloft, Ironclad, Conga, etc.).
- Strong understanding of commercial contracts, negotiations, and risk management.
- Experience creating workflows, templates, approval processes, and automation solutions.
- Excellent communication, organizational, analytical, and project management skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in life sciences, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, healthcare, or other regulated industries.
- CCCM, CFCM, or similar contract management certification.
- Knowledge of ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ICH Q10, and/or cGMP requirements.
Join a team that is committed to innovation, quality, and operational excellence while helping build best-in-class contract management processes that support our continued growth.
