The Opportunity

This is a role for a professional who enjoys turning complexity into clarity. As Contracts Manager, you will sit at the crossroads of legal insight, operational rigor, and business strategy. You’ll steward the full lifecycle of contracts that support the bank’s growth, partnerships, and regulatory integrity, ensuring every agreement is sound, strategic, and built to last.

If you thrive in environments where details matter, timelines count, and collaboration is essential, this role offers both responsibility and visibility. You won’t just manage contracts. You’ll shape how the bank does business.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the end-to-end contract lifecycle, including drafting, reviewing, negotiating, executing, and maintaining a wide range of banking and financial services agreements.

• Partner closely with Legal, Compliance, Risk, Procurement, Finance, and business leaders to ensure contracts align with regulatory requirements and internal policies.

• Serve as a trusted advisor to internal stakeholders by clearly explaining contractual terms, risks, and obligations in practical business language.

• Lead negotiations with vendors, service providers, and strategic partners to achieve favorable outcomes while protecting the bank’s interests.

• Maintain organized contract repositories and ensure timely renewals, amendments, and terminations.

• Identify contractual risks and proactively recommend solutions that balance compliance, efficiency, and business objectives.

• Support audits, regulatory reviews, and examinations by providing accurate contract documentation and insights.

• Continuously improve contract management processes, templates, and controls to enhance consistency and scalability.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree required; emphasis in Business, Finance, Legal Studies, or a related field preferred.

• 5+ years of contracts management experience, ideally within banking, financial services, or a regulated industry.

• Strong understanding of contract law principles, vendor agreements, and regulatory considerations in financial services.

• Proven ability to negotiate complex agreements with confidence, professionalism, and sound judgment.

• Exceptional attention to detail paired with the ability to see the broader business picture.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to interact at all levels of the organization.

• Highly organized, deadline-driven, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Why This Role

This position offers more than ownership of contracts. It offers influence, trust, and the opportunity to play a meaningful role in how the bank grows and protects itself. You’ll be valued for your judgment, relied upon for your precision, and respected for your ability to guide decisions that matter.
