Contract Compliance Specialist

Position summary

The core analytical role on the program. Reads the executed agreements and turns them into a working register of obligations — who owes what, to whom, triggered by what, judged against what criteria. Then administers that register day to day: tracking what is due, verifying what arrives, and flagging what is late or non-conforming.

This role suits someone who is precise, patient with dense documents, and comfortable telling a counterparty their submission does not meet the requirement.

Responsibilities

–   Review executed agreements, amendments, and exhibits and extract every obligation created

–   Capture obligations running in both directions, including those owed by the A&M System

–   Identify deemed-approval provisions and track the associated review clocks

–   Track submittals and reports against contractual due dates; escalate slippage early

–   Review incoming deliverables for conformance and document non-conformance in writing

–   Maintain the correspondence, transmittal, and acceptance record for each obligation

–   Draft notices and deficiency documentation for review and signature

–   Support development of the contract-specific procedure sets

Required

–   7+ years in contract administration, project controls, compliance, or project management

–   Demonstrated ability to work directly from contract language rather than from summaries

–   Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or equivalent demonstrated experience

Preferred

–   Experience with leases, easements, development agreements, or research agreements

–   Paralegal certification, contract management certification (CFCM, CPCM), or similar
