Responsibilities
• * *Own contract lifecycle management:* Track contracts, vendor forms, and procurement processes from intake through negotiation, redlining, execution, and renewal. Build and maintain the systems that make sure nothing falls through the cracks - key dates, obligations and related timeframes, renewal windows, and approvals
• * *Redline with precision:* Review incoming contracts and agreements closely, flag risk and non-standard terms, and coordinate redlines with internal stakeholders. Bring a genuine appetite for reading dense documents carefully
• * *Be the face of our vendor relationships:* Serve as the primary point of contact for our print and fulfillment vendors - from quoting and scoping print runs to troubleshooting quality or delivery issues as they come up. Build the kind of relationships where problems get solved before they become crises
• * *Drive process and system improvement:* Identify gaps or inefficiencies in how we track contracts and manage vendors, and build and refine tools that scale as we grow
Skills
• You're detail-oriented almost to a fault. You catch the clause others skimmed past and take real satisfaction in getting the details right
• You're organized, proactive, and systems-minded. You build (or find) tools and processes that hold up as volume grows, not just for today's workload
• You're genuinely excited by vendor relationships and logistics - you like figuring out how products move from a vendor's print floor to a classroom and you enjoy being the person who makes that handoff smooth
• You build trusting relationships easily and use them well. You're personable, responsive, and straightforward, and you represent us well to the outside world
• You communicate clearly and directly, whether you're redlining a clause or taking a vendor through a missed deadline
• A bachelor's degree
• 3+ years in a role involving contract administration, vendor management, procurement, supply chain, or operations - ideally with exposure to more than one of these areas
• Proficiency with office productivity tools (we use Google Workspace); comfort with contract tracking or project management tools
• Experience with logistics/supply chain workflows/tools
• Direct experience negotiating and redlining commercial agreements
• Direct experience managing print or physical goods supply chains, ideally in education or a similarly deadline-driven industry
• You've lived in the fluid world of a small company and brought order to it, including building tools and processes using AI
• You've worked closely with internal stakeholders to balance product and customer experience goals with feasibility and cost-effectiveness
