About The Position

Regal Rexnord’s Automation & Motion Control (AMC) segment is growing rapidly, driven in large part by the global expansion of data center infrastructure. The Contract Specialist will support commercial contracting across AMC, partnering with Legal and the commercial, sales, supply chain, sourcing, finance, operations and quality teams. This role manages the day-to-day contract lifecycle—from intake, review and drafting through redlining, negotiation and execution—while providing practical, risk-based guidance that helps the business move forward. A significant focus of this role is supporting our business that services and supplies the data center. Our market. AMC customers in this space include hyperscalers, data center developers and builders, project and construction managers, OEMs and engineering partners who serve them. These large, project-driven agreements involve sophisticated counterparties, shifting leverage and risk that must be managed across the full project lifecycle—not clause by clause. This role sits at the center of one of the company’s most dynamic commercial environments.
