• Apply practical legal and business judgment to identify risk, propose solutions, and facilitate timely contract execution.
• Coordinate contract approvals and execution, including proactive follow-up to obtain signatures and required documentation.

• Track contract milestones, key obligations, renewal dates, notice periods, and other contractual deadlines, and communicate requirements to relevant business teams.
• Prepare renewal notices, termination letters, reservation of rights letters, and other routine legal correspondence.

Why This Role Matters

You'll help ensure contracts get reviewed, signed, tracked, renewed, and closed out properly. Much of the value created in this role comes from disciplined execution, organization, follow-through, and operational excellence – not just legal analysis. You'll improve processes, reduce risk, support strategic initiatives, and become a trusted resource across the organization.

This is a hybrid position (2-3 days/week in the office, or more when business needs dictate) and will be based in our North Andover, MA office.

What We’ll Offer

We offer competitive compensation determined by each individual's relevant experience, skills, education and location. We anticipate the base salary for this position to be between $95,000 and $120,000 annually, if located in the Boston market.
