Contract Manager
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The Position Summary paragraph(s). Could combine into one
. The text: "Donaldson is committed to solving the world’s most complex filtration challenges. Together, we make cool things. As an established technology and innovation leader, we are continuously evolving to meet the filtration needs of our changing world. Join a culture of collaboration and innovation that matters and a chance to learn, effect change, and make meaningful contributions at work and in communities. Position Summary The Contract Manager serves as a strategic business partner responsible for drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and administering commercial contracts while providing practical, risk-based guidance to internal stakeholders. This role partners closely with cross-functional stakeholders to manage contractual, commercial, regulatory, and operational risks while enabling business growth. The successful candidate will combine strong contract management expertise, sound business judgement, and a practical, solutions-oriented approach to strategic initiatives and complex commercial transactions. Qualified candidates must be able to work a hybrid schedule at our Bloomington, MN office."
We could keep that as prose.
But note: The schedule mention is also in this paragraph; we might also put schedule separately. However we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we mention schedule in About the role and also have a Schedule section, that would duplicate. Better to keep schedule only in Schedule section and not duplicate. But we need to preserve the info; we can move schedule detail to Schedule section and remove from About the role. However the instruction says do not remove substantive info; we can relocate it. It's okay to not duplicate. We'll extract schedule info: "Qualified candidates must be able to work a hybrid schedule at our Bloomington, MN office." We'll put that in Schedule section.
Thus About the role will be the rest without that sentence.
Let's craft About the role paragraph: "Donaldson is committed to solving the world’s most complex filtration challenges. Together, we make cool things.

That seems fine.
Now Responsibilities: list bullet points under "Role Responsibilities". We need to capture each bullet.
Original bullet list (each line ends with a period). Let's extract:
- Draft, review, negotiate, and administer a broad range of commercial agreements.
- Manage contracts throughout the contract lifecycle, including intake, negotiation, execution, amendment, renewal, and termination.
- Partner with business stakeholders to assess contractual obligations, identify risks, and recommend practical solutions that align with company objectives.
- Review proposals, purchase orders, statements of work, terms and conditions, and related documentation for completeness, accuracy, and compliance.
- Identify and escalate significant legal, regulatory, compliance, financial, and commercial risks as appropriate.
- Collaborate with Legal, Compliance, and Global Trade Compliance teams to address contractual and regulatory requirements.
- Support government contracting activities and assist with compliance related to export controls, sanctions, licensing requirements, and related matters.
- Develop, maintain, and enhance contract templates, playbooks, procedures, training materials, and related contracting resources while driving continuous improvement of contract management processes, tools, and operational efficiencies.
- Deliver contract-related training and guidance to business stakeholders to promote consistency and risk awareness across the organization.
- Drive process improvement initiatives that increase contracting efficiency, reduce risk, and support business scalability.
We'll put each as
- inside
.
Now Minimum Qualifications: bullet list:
- Bachelor's degree
- 7+ years of experience drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and administering commercial contracts.
We'll put as .
Preferred Qualifications: list bullet points (some are multi-sentence). Let's extract:
- Strong understanding of commercial contracting principles.
- Juris Doctor (JD), paralegal certification, NCMA certification, or other relevant professional credentials.
- Experience supporting manufacturing, industrial, engineering, or other technical businesses.
- Experience with U.S. federal, state, or local government contracts.
- Familiarity with US Government acquisition regulations (FAR & DFAR) and federal contracting requirements.
- Experience with privacy and cybersecurity provisions in contracts
- Experience with export controls, trade compliance, or international commercial agreements.
- Excellent written, verbal, analytical, and negotiation skills.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently.
We'll put as .
Now Skills: Could be extracted from preferred qualifications (skills). But we already have a Skills section maybe we can combine? The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have skills content (excellent written, verbal, analytical, and negotiation skills; demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently). Could be placed under Skills. However we already have Preferred Qualifications which includes skills. To avoid duplication, we could treat Preferred Qualifications as Qualifications section, and Skills as separate if there is distinct skill content not covered elsewhere. But the preferred qualifications already include skills. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Preferred Qualifications and Skills into one section called "Qualifications & Skills" but headings are fixed: we must use headings exactly as given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide what goes where.
We have Minimum Qualifications (requirements). That could go under "Requirements". Preferred Qualifications could go under "Qualifications". Skills could go under "Skills". But there is overlap; we could split: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications (credentials, experience). Skills = the skill-based items (excellent written..., ability to manage multiple priorities). However the preferred qualifications also include skill items; we could move those to Skills and keep Qualifications for credentials/experience. Let's parse.
Preferred Qualifications list includes:
- Strong understanding of commercial contracting principles. (knowledge)
- Juris Doctor (JD), paralegal certification, NCMA certification, or other relevant professional credentials. (credential)
- Experience supporting manufacturing, industrial, engineering, or other technical businesses. (experience)
- Experience with U.S. federal, state, or local government contracts. (experience)
- Familiarity with US Government acquisition regulations (FAR & DFAR) and federal contracting requirements. (knowledge)
- Experience with privacy and cybersecurity provisions in contracts (experience)
- Experience with export controls, trade compliance, or international commercial agreements. (experience)
- Excellent written, verbal, analytical, and negotiation skills. (skill)
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently. (skill)
Thus we can split: Qualifications section includes credential and experience items; Skills section includes the skill items. Also "Strong understanding of commercial contracting principles" and "Familiarity with US Government acquisition regulations" could be considered knowledge; could go under Qualifications or Skills. But we need to decide.
Given the headings, we can put knowledge items under Qualifications as well. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's assign:
Requirements (Minimum Qualifications):
- Bachelor's degree
- 7+ years of experience drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and administering commercial contracts.
Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications - credentials/experience/knowledge):
- Strong understanding of commercial contracting principles.
- Juris Doctor (JD), paralegal certification, NCMA certification, or other relevant professional credentials.
- Experience supporting manufacturing, industrial, engineering, or other technical businesses.
- Experience with U.S. federal, state, or local government contracts.
- Familiarity with US Government acquisition regulations (FAR & DFAR) and federal contracting requirements.
- Experience with privacy and cybersecurity provisions in contracts.
- Experience with export controls, trade compliance, or international commercial agreements.
Skills:
- Excellent written, verbal, analytical, and negotiation skills.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently.
That seems reasonable and non-duplicative.
Now Benefits: we have description: "Employee benefits are part of the competitive total rewards package that Donaldson Company, Inc. provides to you. Our comprehensive benefits program includes health benefits, retirement plan (401k), paid time away, paid leaves (including paid parental leave) and more."
We can put as or
. Since it's a list of benefits, we could use - for each benefit: health benefits, retirement plan (401k), paid time away, paid leaves (including paid parental leave). And more (but we shouldn't invent). We'll list those four.
Pay: we have salary range and incentive plan. So we can put as
with that info.
Schedule: we have hybrid schedule at Bloomington, MN office. So we can put as
.
Now we must exclude boilerplate: EEO, sc
