Contract Administrator (Temporary)

Job Overview

This temporary role exists to keep contracting running without interruption during that gap. This is intentionally a narrow, execution-only role. The contractor steps into the existing machine — established templates, playbooks, CLM workflow, and renewal cadence — and keeps it moving. They are not expected to redesign processes, stand up a deal desk, build pricing governance, manage outside counsel strategy, or take on anything that the permanent leader will own. The objective is continuity and zero coverage gaps, not transformation.

Responsibilities

• Contract processing & administration
• Moves contracts through the existing workflow. Intake, prepare, and route MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, and order forms from draft through signature using current templates — no drafting from scratch.
• Applies standard terms and the existing playbook. Handles routine redlines against the approved clause library; flags and escalates anything non-standard rather than negotiating it independently.
• Runs e-signature and execution. Prepares documents for signature, routes for internal approvals, tracks to full execution, and files completed agreements.
• CLM & system-of-record upkeep
• Keeps the CLM current. Maintains the contract lifecycle management tool as the system of record — accurate records, statuses, key dates, and counterparties; keeps work out of inboxes.
• Maintains templates and the clause library as-is. Keeps approved templates and clauses current and usable; surfaces gaps to leadership rather than restructuring them.
• Renewals & date tracking
• Tracks and tees up renewals. Monitors upcoming renewal and expiration dates, flags at-risk or approaching bookings, and routes them per the existing renewal process so none slip through the cracks.
• Day-to-day deal & reporting support
• Supports Sales on routine requests. Turns around contract status and standard document requests quickly so deals keep moving; escalates non-standard items before signature.
• Keeps reporting current. Updates existing trackers and dashboards so leadership retains visibility into throughput, cycle time, and renewal exposure.

Qualifications

• Administrative reliability. Detail-oriented and organized, comfortable owning a high-volume queue and keeping records accurate and current.
• Contract-document familiarity. Has handled customer agreements (MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, order forms) in an administrative or coordination capacity; reads and routes confidently without needing to negotiate.
• Plays the existing system. Follows established templates and playbooks well and knows when to escalate rather than improvise.
• Tool comfort. Familiarity with a CLM / contract lifecycle management tool and standard office software; Salesforce exposure a plus.
• Self-sufficient quickly. Can learn an existing workflow fast and keep it running with light supervision.
