Contracts Administrator – Contract Lifecycle Management & Legal Operations | Remote
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a highly organized and detail-oriented Contracts Administrator to manage the complete contract lifecycle — from intake and drafting through internal approvals, execution, storage, renewals, compliance tracking, and reporting.
This is a process-driven role for someone who understands that effective contract lifecycle management (CLM) is essential to reducing legal, financial, compliance, and operational risk.
You’ll work cross-functionally with Legal, Procurement, Finance, Sales, Information Security, Compliance, and executive stakeholders to ensure agreements move efficiently while remaining accurate, properly approved, compliant, searchable, and audit-ready.
If you have hands-on contract administration or legal operations experience and thrive in structured, detail-heavy environments, this role is a strong fit.
