  • Partners with Legal, Risk, Compliance, clause owners, procurement team members, and other stakeholders to ensure contracts meet regulatory standards
  • Lead negotiations for supplier agreements, particularly for high-value, strategic engagements (technology platforms, SaaS, consulting services)
  • Establish standard templates and fallback positions to reduce cycle time and maintain risk posture
  • Collaborate with Procurement Sourcing, Finance, IT, and business units to align contract terms with operational and financial goals
  • Provide training and guidance to stakeholders on contract processes and risk considerations
  • Define KPIs for contract cycle time, compliance, and vendor performance
  • Deliver executive reporting on contract portfolio, risk exposure, and renewal timelines

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s Degree (B.A.) in Business, Law, Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement or related field
  • 10+ years in contract management, vendor management, or procurement within financial services in a senior-level corporate position
  • Proven experience negotiating supplier agreements and managing contract governance
  • Deep understanding of regulatory requirements (SEC, FINRA) and third-party risk management frameworks
  • Strong leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills
  • Familiarity with CLM platforms and integration with ERP systems
  • Advanced negotiation and influencing skills for complex supplier agreements
  • Strategic planning and operational process design
  • Analytical and problem-solving skills for risk assessment and mitigation
  • Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and drive consensus among stakeholders
  • Ability to implement technology solutions and optimize workflows
