  • Subconsultant Agreement Management: Prepare and manage Subconsultant agreements and amendments, ensuring compliance with prime contract terms and company policies.
  • Negotiation Support: Collaborate with business leaders throughout contract negotiations, providing expertise on risk and contractual terms.
  • Claims Coordination: Coordinate with professional insurance carriers and legal counsel on contract-related claims, facilitating efficient resolution.
  • Policy and Process Development: Contribute to the development and implementation of contract management policies, procedures, and best practices.
  • Training and Support: Provide training and support to internal teams on contract management processes and the use of the CLM platform.
  • Reporting and Compliance: Generate contract management reports and ensure compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements .

Education:

  • Bachelor's Degree: A Bachelor's in Business Administration, Law, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a closely related field is required or equivalent experience.
  • Preferred Qualifications:
  • Relevant certifications such as Certified Professional Contracts Manager (CPCM) or similar.
  • Advanced degree in a related field (e.g., Master's in Business Administration, Juris Doctor).
  • Professional Development: Commitment to ongoing education in contract management, risk assessment, and legal compliance.

Knowledge/Skills:

  • Experience: Minimum of 5-10 years of experience reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts, with a strong emphasis on legal and claims risk management within the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry.
  • CLM Proficiency: Proven expertise in managing and utilizing Contracts Lifecycle Management (CLM) platforms, preferably DocuSign CLM. Proficiency in other relevant technologies is a plus.
  • AEC Legal and Risk Expertise: Comprehensive understanding of contract law principles, professional liability and other insurance policies common in the AEC sector, risk management methodologies, and relevant federal, state (especially California), and local AEC regulations.
  • Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills: Exceptional analytical abilities to proactively identify potential contractual, legal, and financial risks and develop effective mitigation strategies. Demonstrated ability to solve complex issues related to contract interpretation and compliance.
  • Communication and Collaboration: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly articulate complex legal and contractual concepts to diverse audiences. Proven ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams (project managers, business development, finance), external partners (clients, subcontractors), legal counsel, and insurance providers.
  • Attention to Detail and Compliance: Meticulous attention to detail with a strong commitment to accuracy and ensuring compliance with all contractual obligations, company policies, and relevant regulations.
  • Organizational and Time Management Skills: Demonstrated ability to effectively manage multiple contracts and projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, and meet demanding deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
