Contract Administrator
Our customer, a leading global provider of business intelligence, data and market insights, is seeking a Contract Administrator to join its legal team on an initial temporary basis, with the opportunity to become permanent.
This is an excellent opportunity for an organised and commercially aware contracts professional to support the day-to-day operations of a busy legal team. Working closely with legal, sales, procurement, and business stakeholders, you will play a key role in administering commercial contracts, ensuring documentation is complete, triaging requests, and preparing matters for review by external legal counsel. This role is focused on contract administration and legal operations rather than contract negotiation or legal advisory work.
Key Responsibilities
- Triage incoming contract requests and manage the legal team's shared inbox, ensuring matters are prioritised and progressed efficiently.
- Review contract requests against established playbooks to identify where legal escalation is required.
- Ensure all required documentation is complete before contracts are progressed for legal review, following up with internal and external stakeholders as needed.
- Liaise with sales teams to obtain outstanding paperwork and ensure requests are submitted with the appropriate supporting information.
- Push back on incomplete requests where necessary and guide stakeholders through internal contract submission requirements.
- Prepare and update standard contract documentation and undertake basic drafting using approved templates.
- Coordinate with external parties to obtain supporting documentation, such as certificates and other contractual records.
- Maintain accurate contract records and documentation within contract management systems.
- Support the legal operations process by preparing matters for escalation to external legal resources.
- Assist with reporting, document management, and continuous improvement of contract administration processes.
