• Identify and assess contractual risks, recommend practical solutions, and ensure alignment with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
• Partner with the General Counsel, sales directors, and internal stakeholders to facilitate timely contract review, negotiation, and execution.
• Advise business leaders on contract terms, obligations, and potential legal or operational implications.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Client Success, Finance, Technology, and Compliance, to resolve contractual issues.
• Maintain organized contract documentation and support efficient contract management processes.
• Manage multiple contracting priorities and deadlines in a high-volume, fast-paced environment.

• Strong understanding of commercial contract terms, risk allocation, confidentiality, and privacy/security considerations.
• Experience negotiating complex agreements with clients, vendors, and other business partners.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain legal concepts and risks to non-legal stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to independently manage competing priorities.
• Practical, solutions-oriented approach to negotiations and problem-solving.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with Management Services Organization–Professional Corporation (MSO-PC) structures.
• Experience negotiating BAAs, DPAs, and healthcare-related privacy and security provisions.
