Contract Administrator (Temporary)

Snapsheet•Chicago, IL

4d•$38 - $42•Remote

About The Position

This temporary role exists to keep contracting running without interruption during that gap. This is intentionally a narrow, execution-only role. The contractor steps into the existing machine — established templates, playbooks, CLM workflow, and renewal cadence — and keeps it moving. They are not expected to redesign processes, stand up a deal desk, build pricing governance, manage outside counsel strategy, or take on anything that the permanent leader will own. The objective is continuity and zero coverage gaps, not transformation.

Requirements

Administrative reliability. Detail-oriented and organized, comfortable owning a high-volume queue and keeping records accurate and current.
Contract-document familiarity. Has handled customer agreements (MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, order forms) in an administrative or coordination capacity; reads and routes confidently without needing to negotiate.
Plays the existing system. Follows established templates and playbooks well and knows when to escalate rather than improvise.
Tool comfort. Familiarity with a CLM / contract lifecycle management tool and standard office software; Salesforce exposure a plus.
Self-sufficient quickly. Can learn an existing workflow fast and keep it running with light supervision.

Salesforce exposure a plus.

Responsibilities

Move contracts through the existing workflow. Intake, prepare, and route MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, and order forms from draft through signature using current templates — no drafting from scratch.
Apply standard terms and the existing playbook. Handle routine redlines against the approved clause library; flag and escalate anything non-standard rather than negotiating it independently.
Run e-signature and execution. Prepare documents for signature, route for internal approvals, track to full execution, and file completed agreements.
Keep the CLM current. Maintain the contract lifecycle management tool as the system of record — accurate records, statuses, key dates, and counterparties; keep work out of inboxes.
Maintain templates and the clause library as-is. Keep approved templates and clauses current and usable; surface gaps to leadership rather than restructuring them.
Track and tee up renewals. Monitor upcoming renewal and expiration dates, flag at-risk or approaching bookings, and route them per the existing renewal process so none slip through the cracks.
Support Sales on routine requests. Turn around contract status and standard document requests quickly so deals keep moving; escalate non-standard items before signature.
Keep reporting current. Update existing trackers and dashboards so leadership retains visibility into throughput, cycle time, and renewal exposure.
