## What they're looking for

- Own the end-to-end contracting workflow for new and expansion deals: drafting from templates, issuing paper, tracking versions and driving to signature
- Review and negotiate customer redlines on MSAs, order forms, BAAs and performance guarantees. Resolve standard positions yourself and escalate non-standard terms to Legal with a clear recommendation
- Run the approval process: route discounts, non-standard pricing and risk terms to the right approvers (Sales, Finance, Legal, Clinical, Security) and hold them to SLAs
- Advise reps on deal structure and the commercial levers available to them, and coach them on standard positions so fewer deals need escalation
- Keep the system of record clean: contract status, terms and approvals captured accurately in Salesforce and the CLM, with a smooth handoff to Billing and Account Management after signature
- Maintain the Deal Desk playbook: fallback positions, clause library, approval matrix, and the reasons deals get stuck
