The Legal Department is seeking a Contract Administrator to provide experienced, hands-on support for contract administration, contract lifecycle management, and day-to-day contracting operations. This role is well suited for a people-oriented contracts or legal operations professional who enjoys serving internal clients, owning process details, and keeping a high-volume contract queue moving accurately and efficiently.

- Perform quality-control checks to confirm correct legal entity names, dates, attachments, signature blocks, approval records, and final document versions before activation and filing.
- Prepare recurring and ad hoc reports on contract volume, cycle time, queue aging, signature status, renewals, and other operational metrics; identify missing or inconsistent data and drive timely resolution.
- Support amendments, renewals, terminations, contract closeout, and ongoing repository maintenance, including linking related agreements and preserving an audit-ready record.
- Provide responsive, patient, and solution-oriented day-to-day support to business users and Legal team members regarding contract intake, status, templates, signature processes, CLM system usage.
- Assist with contract data cleanup, metadata validation, document organization, bulk uploads, and migration or implementation projects.
- Partner with Legal Operations and cross-functional teams to document procedures, improve workflows, maintain templates and guidance, support user training, and share practical process knowledge with team members.
- Handle confidential and sensitive information with sound judgment and in accordance with company policies and records-retention requirements.
