Job Description:

The Director, Contracts Administration leads KCU’s contract lifecycle and contract operations, ensuring agreements move efficiently from intake through execution, renewal, and closeout. This is a hands-on role that builds a scalable, technology-enabled contracts administration program (process, governance, and tools) to improve speed, consistency, insight, and risk management across the University.

The Director oversees drafting, review, negotiation, approvals, and execution, partnering with departments on contract structure, key risks, and practical implications. KCU’s portfolio includes construction and facilities agreements, clinical education and rotation agreements, leased employee arrangements, and other external collaborations.

Advise stakeholders on contract structure, risk allocation, and business implications; identify issues early and drive practical resolutions
Build and continuously improve a modern contracts administration program, including standardized templates/playbooks, intake workflows, and clear governance
Leverage platforms, automation, and AI-enabled tools (as appropriate) to improve cycle time, quality, scalability, and visibility
Create basic reporting and metrics (e.g., volume, cycle time, expirations/renewals, risk/compliance themes) to support decision-making
Maintain accurate records for status, obligations, expirations, and renewals; provide clear updates to internal stakeholders
Negotiate and review complex agreements (including construction, facilities, clinical, and other mission-critical contracts); coordinate with outside counsel when needed
Partner with Legal Affairs, Compliance, Finance, and business owners to align contracts with policy, reduce risk, and support operations

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree required. Master’s degree or higher in business, law, risk management, or a related field preferred
Experience managing and/or reviewing contracts in a business, healthcare, higher education, or similarly complex environment
Strong organization, attention to detail, and stakeholder communication; able to manage multiple priorities and move work to closure
