Contract & Proposal Manager

The Contract & Proposals Manager will review, negotiate, and manage a high volume of agreements across North America, Australia, and New Zealand. They will own the end-to-end contract management lifecycle of customer contracts and NDAs in our contract management database, including negotiation, redlining, collaboration with internal stakeholders, and escalating with counsel when needed. They will manage contracts efficiently and autonomously while partnering closely not only with the rest of the global legal team, but also with finance, sales, information security, and other teams to support, align, and coordinate the contracting process, ultimately streamlining the contract intake cycle. They will advise internal clients on contractual risk and policy, serving as a key escalation point for contract-related inquiries. They will also be responsible for overseeing the development and coordination of responses to Requests for Proposals and Information as well as customer questionnaires and other forms (RFXs). They will act as a project manager to prepare response drafts to match prospect and customer requirements while also adhering to internal guidelines. Additionally, they will maintain, enhance, and optimize contract workflows and clause templates or playbooks, and ensure accurate contract records, data integrity, and reporting within contract management tools. As a subject matter expert for legal operations, they will focus on process optimization, supporting continued automation and improvements to the contract lifecycle. Importantly, they will also foster cross-functional collaboration by operating with high attention to detail and urgency.
