About The Position

The Senior Contract Analyst (SCA) is a healthcare-focused professional with strong analytical skills responsible for the strategic oversight of the contract lifecycle, managing high-level, complex negotiations, and end-to-end vendor administration. Focusing primarily on the legal, insurance, and risk management aspects of agreements, SCA’s goal is protecting the organization from legal and financial risk. While procurement focuses on the operational what and how much of purchasing goods and services, the SCA focuses on the terms—specifically the legal, risk, and obligations of that purchase. Leveraging expertise in legal language, contract interpretation, and vendor onboarding, the SCA independently drafts, negotiates, owns the electronic signature packages, and administers legally binding agreements. The SCA drives strategic sourcing by evaluating supplier capabilities, as needed supporting RFPs/RFIs, and performing detailed spend analysis to measure contract value and cost savings. Additionally, the SCA participates in the procure-to-pay (P2P) process by creating procurement documents in Basware, proactively resolving match exceptions, and handling financial discrepancies in close partnership with Accounts Payables, our internal team within Procurement and across the business units. By cultivating strong stakeholder relationships, mentoring junior staff, and coordinating logistics, the SCA ensures all agreements comply with legal standards to prevent disputes or financial losses.
