  • Maintain organized records of contract reviews and related communications.
  • Collaborate with internal managers to ensure timely execution of contracts and related actions.
  • May occasionally provide input on compliance, HR, privacy, or cybersecurity questions.

  • High degree of ethics, discretion, and professionalism.
  • Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks with limited oversight.
