• You’ll provide timely, accurate guidance to internal stakeholders and answer questions throughout the contracting process.
• You’ll manage requests through the team’s shared mailbox and balance multiple agreements at different stages of completion.
• You’ll participate in training and support contract operations as the organization transitions to SAP Ariba.
• You’ll provide additional contract administration support as priorities evolve throughout the six-month assignment.

Skills and Qualifications
• 2+ years of experience in contract drafting, contract administration or a similar contract-focused role.
• Demonstrated experience reviewing, editing and drafting contracts using established templates.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a professional, service-oriented approach to supporting internal stakeholders.
• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple active contract requests simultaneously.
