Job Description
• Lead negotiations and drive execution across portfolio, including prime contracts, subcontracts, vendor agreements, and proposal/RFP terms.
• Own the contracting process end-to-end: intake, review, redlines, negotiation strategy, internal alignment, approvals, and signature.
• Work closely with sales/business development, project development, construction, consulting, finance, and risk/insurance to move agreements to signature quickly without compromising risk posture.
• Analyze third-party agreements (primes, RFPs, subcontracts, POs, PSAs, consulting) and amendments.
• Identify legal, financial, and operational risks; provide actionable redlines aligned with CEG frameworks.
• Lead counterparties through language and risk allocation, including scope, payment, and flow-downs.
• Enforce critical terms and manage exceptions via defined approval processes with clear recommendations.
• Drive negotiations to closure using disciplined tracking, documented rationale, and clean redlines.
• Verify that all approved terms and redlines are accurately reflected in final copies and attachments.
• Review prime contracts to ensure all obligations and protections are accurately mirrored in subcontract and vendor agreements.
• Support RFP responses by auditing T&Cs, drafting exceptions, and aligning commercial terms with pricing and delivery assumptions.
Job Requirements
- 5–10+ years of experience in contracts/subcontracts management, commercial contracting, procurement/vendor contractor, and/or construction/energy services agreements.
- Proven track record leading negotiations (not just processing paperwork) and driving contracts to signature.
- Strong command of core contract clauses, including indemnity, insurance, limitation of liability, warranties, dispute resolution, termination, payment, schedule/LDs, flow-downs, and change management.
- Strong judgement and the ability to set negotiation strategy, hold firm on critical terms, and align stakeholders on smart compromises when needed.
- Exceptional written communication, redline discipline, and ability to synthesize complex risk into clear recommendations.
- Highly organized and comfortable building and maintaining contract trackers, dashboards, and contracting workflows.
- Demonstrated ability to balance AI tools for speed while validating accuracy and applying independent judgement.
- Preferred: experience in ESCO/EPC/construction environments, public-sector or federal contracting, and/or contract flow-downs.
- Familiarity with bonding/surety concepts and risk/insurance coordination.
- Experience partnering with outside counsel and managing expectation approvals in a fast-moving environment.
