About The Position

Our client is seeking an experienced Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) Specialist to support their end-to-end contracting process within their CDMO commercial function. This role serves as the operational backbone for commercial agreements — managing contracts from intake and authoring through negotiation, execution, and renewal — while partnering closely with Legal, Finance, Quality, and Commercial/Business Development teams. This is a REMOTE role.

5+ years of contract management / CLM experience, preferably in pharma, biotech, CDMO/CMO, or life sciences commercial environments.
Demonstrated hands-on experience with enterprise CLM platforms
Strong working knowledge of commercial contract structures and terms relevant to CDMO supply and manufacturing.
Proven ability to collaborate with Legal and Finance on contract terms, risk, and commercial conditions.
Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage a high volume of contracts under deadline.
Digital experience is mandatory — demonstrated hands-on experience working across cloud-based digital platforms, workflow automation, and analytics/reporting tools, with a proven ability to adopt and drive new technologies in a contracting environment.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with CDMO / pharma manufacturing workflows, Quality Agreements, and GxP / regulatory considerations.
Experience with contract analytics, obligation management, and CLM-to-ERP/CRM integrations.
CLM or contract management certification (e.g., CCCM/CFCM, World Commerce & Contracting / IACCM).
Understanding of revenue recognition principles and finance / billing interfaces.

Responsibilities

Manage the full contract lifecycle for CDMO commercial agreements — Master Supply Agreements (MSAs), Quality Agreements, Statements of Work (SOWs), Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs), NDAs/CDAs, and change orders.
Administer contract intake, drafting and authoring from templates, clause library management, redlining, approvals, execution, and post-signature obligation tracking.
Maintain accurate contract metadata, milestones, renewal and expiry alerts, and reporting dashboards.
Partner with Legal to route agreements for review, manage redlines and fallback clauses, and ensure compliance with corporate standards and regulatory requirements.
Work with Finance on commercial terms — pricing schedules, payment milestones, billing triggers, revenue recognition inputs, and budget/PO alignment.
Coordinate with Commercial, Business Development, Quality, and Supply Chain stakeholders to translate deal terms into executable contracts.
Serve as a power user / administrator of the CLM platform — configuring workflows, templates, approval routing, and clause libraries; troubleshooting user issues.
Manage electronic signature workflows through DocuSign, ensuring proper routing, authentication, and audit trails.
Drive process standardization, identify automation opportunities, and support system integrations with ERP/CRM and finance systems.
Leverage digital CLM capabilities — workflow automation, configurable templates, and AI-assisted contract authoring, review, and clause extraction — to accelerate cycle times and reduce manual effort.
Champion the adoption of digital contracting tools across Legal, Finance, and Commercial teams, driving user enablement, training, and change management.
Use contract data and analytics (dashboards, KPIs, obligation and risk reporting) to surface insights and support data-driven decision-making.
Partner with IT and digital teams to enhance and integrate the CLM ecosystem with ERP, CRM, e-signature, and finance platforms, and to pilot emerging contract technologies.
Ensure contracts adhere to internal policies, delegation-of-authority matrices, and applicable life sciences / pharma regulatory frameworks.
Maintain a complete, audit-ready contract repository and support internal and external audits.
