Introduction to Position:

We are a healthcare-focused digital product consultancy seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Contracts Specialist to join our Growth team and oversee all aspects of our contract lifecycle. The primary focus of the Contracts Specialist will be drafting and managing all of our consulting Statements of Work (SOWs), ensuring they accurately reflect the services and resources, scopes, timelines, and deliverables while aligning with our business objectives and legal requirements.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Write Statements of Work (SOWs) that align to Modea’s resourcing standards and business processes.
• Manage Master Service Agreement (MSA) renewals to maintain strong, long-term client relationships.
• Manage the review and execution of other contractual documents, such as BAAs, NDAs, and change orders.

• Work with the Accounting department to ensure newly signed deals are invoiced properly.
• Manage and update standard forms and templates (SOWs, change orders, MSAs, etc.).

Critical Competencies:

• Strong technical writing: Ability to articulate complex ideas and terms clearly and concisely. This skill is crucial for drafting precise SOWs, assessing MSAs, and writing other contractual documents that leave no room for misinterpretation.
• Exceptional attention to detail: Capability to spot inconsistencies, errors, or ambiguities in contract language. This meticulousness is essential for minimizing risks and ensuring all contractual documents are thorough and precise.
• Proactivity: Ability to anticipate potential issues or needs before they arise. This forward-thinking approach is vital for streamlining contract processes, identifying improvement opportunities, and addressing potential problems before they impact projects or client relationships.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills: Capacity to juggle multiple contracts and deadlines efficiently. This is critical for managing a high volume of contracts at various stages of the deal or relationship lifecycle.
• Legal knowledge: Familiarity with relevant contract law and regulations. While not a lawyer, a basic understanding of legal principles is helpful.
• Financial acumen: Understanding basic financial concepts related to contracts, such as budgeting, pricing, and revenue recognition.
• Adaptability: Flexibility to handle changing priorities and evolving contract needs on tight deadlines. This agility ensures you can respond quickly to new business opportunities or shifts in project requirements.
• Experience in a client-facing role: This role often involves interacting with clients and building relationships, so experience in a customer-facing role can be valuable.
