Contracts Analyst (Legal & Strategic Focus)
PrideStaff has partnered with a prominent government agency and is actively seeking a high-level Contracts Analyst to join their Procurement Division.
This isn’t a typical "order-processing" procurement role. We are looking for a professional who views contracts through a legal and strategic lens—someone who understands that a contract is a risk management tool, not just a purchase order. While you'll sit within the Procurement Division, your primary focus will be the art of the agreement: navigating complex liability frameworks, mastering indemnification clauses, and ensuring the agency is protected while remaining efficient.

• Strategic Stewardship: Lead and implement process improvement initiatives to modernize the contracting lifecycle. You won't just follow the process; you'll help build a better one.
• Legal Liaison: Serve as the primary bridge between the Procurement Division and the Legal Division (PBSO). You will translate operational needs into sound legal protections.
• Complex Negotiation: Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of high-value contracts for materials and services. This includes heavy lifting on terms and conditions, specifically focusing on risk mitigation, liability, and indemnification.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with Budget, Accounting, and internal stakeholders to ensure fiscal obligations are met and performance milestones are hit.
• Compliance & Monitoring: Act as the watchdog for contract performance, ensuring all parties remain in strict compliance with both local regulations and the specific "fine print" of the agreement.

• Education:Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited institution. Emphasis in Business Administration, Economics, Finance, Accounting, or a legal-related field.
• Experience: A minimum of eight (8) years of dedicated experience in contract management. Government experience a PLUS! 
• Technical Savvy: High proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience navigating complex contract management software.
• Procurement Fluency: Deep understanding of both public and private procurement methods, even if your primary focus is the legal/contractual side rather than sourcing.
• Certifications preferred – CPCM, CFCM or CCCM

• State of Florida Retirement System
• Health Care, Dental and Vision Care
• Life Insurance
• Cost of Living Adjustment
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Sick, Vacation & Holiday Pay
• Tuition Reimbursement Program and more
