The Senior Contracts Manager provides practical contract guidance, facilitates negotiations, obtains appropriate approvals for non-standard contractual terms, and recommends business-oriented solutions that support both customer success and company objectives. This role serves as a senior individual contributor, applying advanced contracting expertise to resolve complex contractual issues, improve contracting processes, and mentor less experienced team members.

You Will:

• Draft, review, negotiate, and manage complex commercial agreements, including SaaS agreements, customer agreements, partner agreements, vendor agreements, amendments, order forms, statements of work, business associate agreements (BAAs), nondisclosure agreements (NDAs), and other commercial documents.
• Draft both custom as well as standard agreements using applicable contract templates and approaches while tailoring language to address business needs and approved contractual requirements.
• Review and respond to customer and vendor redlines, balancing business objectives with legal, operational, and commercial risk.
• Independently lead negotiations for customer and vendor agreements within established approval frameworks.
• Participate in contract negotiation meetings and conference calls with customers and external parties to resolve contractual issues and facilitate timely execution.
• Obtain appropriate approvals for non-standard contractual terms in accordance with company policies, risk tolerance, and approval authorities.
• Able to work remotely and with minimal supervision while managing responsbilities independently and effectively.
• Advise internal stakeholders on contract language, negotiation strategies, company contracting policies, and contractual risk.
• Analyze contractual issues and recommend practical, business-oriented solutions that support successful deal execution while appropriately managing risk.
• Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Product, Finance, Security, and Legal to support commercial transactions and contract execution.
• Manage assigned agreements throughout the contract lifecycle from intake through execution, amendment, renewal, and contract maintenance.
• Maintain accurate contract records and workflow status within Salesforce, Apttus, or other contract lifecycle management systems.
• Review and process miscellaneous contractual correspondence, notices, amendments, and related customer documentation.
• Review and correct contract and opportunity information within Salesforce, Apttus, or related business systems to ensure accurate reporting and downstream processing.
• Support Finance and other internal stakeholders by maintaining complete and accurate contract information.
• Lead assigned cross-functional projects and process improvement initiatives related to contracting operations.
• Recommend improvements to contract templates, playbooks, workflows, and contracting processes to improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability.
• Leverage AI-enabled contract review, drafting, summarization, and workflow automation tools to improve efficiency, consistency, and contract quality while applying appropriate professional judgment and ensuring compliance with company policies.
• Identify opportunities to improve contracting processes through responsible adoption of AI or other automation technology.
• Develop a strong understanding of MCG's products, services, customers, and business operations to support informed contracting decisions.
• Operate independently in a remote environment while managing multiple priorities and competing deadlines.
• Provide functional guidance and mentorship to less experienced contracts professionals without direct supervisory responsibility.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Legal Studies, Finance, Healthcare Administration, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• At least 8 years of progressive experience in contracts management, including drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and administering commercial agreements.
