Contract Manager, HE

Contract Manager, HE

Today's agreements for tomorrow’s clarity. Connection through every contract.

Passionate about contracts and compliance? Your next role will support our Legal team in keeping our Higher Education contracting engine running smoothly. We’re looking for a detail‑driven and operationally minded Contract Manager who can manage templates, streamline approvals, maintain clean systems of record, and ensure post‑award obligations stay on track. Based in either our Irvine or NYC office, you will be the backbone of our contracting operations and a key partner across the business.

As part of the Legal team, you’ll help ensure our agreements are accurate, compliant, and executed on time. Teams across the organization will rely on your expertise to keep contract workflows moving efficiently. It’s a role with a lot of variety, and day‑to‑day you’ll mainly be involved with:

• Revising, reviewing, and maintaining standard templates (NDAs, order forms, SOWs/LOAs, and routine amendments) under counsel guidance.
• Creating drafts of amendments, renewals, and other modifications to existing agreements.
• Tracking redlines and monitoring negotiation status.
• Routing contracts for review and approval using playbooks, clause libraries, and defined fallback positions.
• Driving timely execution and ensuring clean transitions to post‑award owners.

• Owning Docu Sign templates, approval workflows, and enforcing signing‑authority controls.
• Troubleshooting envelopes, managing bulk sends, and partnering with IT/Info Sec on configuration and record‑retention standards.

• Maintaining accurate contract metadata across mTRAC and Salesforce, ensuring consistent linkage to opportunities and obligations.
• Building and publishing dashboards for cycle times, execution rates, renewal pipelines, and obligation tracking.
• Identifying bottlenecks and recommending process improvements.
• Supporting audits with accurate, reproducible reports.

• Tracking renewal dates, SLAs, milestones, service credits, and compliance requirements.
• Managing reminders and escalations to ensure timely action.
• Coordinating with Asset Management and Operations on renewal planning and asset‑aligned obligations.

• Continuously improving SOPs, playbooks, and checklists based on execution data and stakeholder feedback.

Think you could make a difference here? We’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about the welfare of our team. You’ll want to make an impact from day one. With big ideas about how to improve our culture and the knowledge to get people on board. You will also have some of the following:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Legal Studies, Contract Management, Supply Chain, or related field.
• 5+ years of contract administration or paralegal experience within corporate legal, procurement, or sales operations (technology/telecom/services preferred).
• Hands‑on experience with a CLM or matter‑tracking tool and advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, lookups, data cleansing).
• Working knowledge of standard commercial agreements (MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, order forms, amendments).
• High attention to detail, version control discipline, redline hygiene, and signature authority validation.
• Ability to translate legal/operational requirements into clear SOPs, dashboards, and checklists.
• Strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills across Legal, Sales, Finance, and Operations.
• Critical thinking capability.

• Experience with Higher Education or state contracting (renewal cycles, public‑sector forms, procurement portals).
• Familiarity with Docu Sign and Salesforce (configuration, reporting, workflows).
• Awareness of FERPA requirements, privacy laws, data‑processing terms, SLAs/service credits, and renewal/evergreen mechanics.
