OVERVIEW

Function Overview

The CLM COE or Contract Operations team manages contract administration and lifecycle support across business functions, including intake, e-signature coordination, repository completion, issue resolution, metadata quality, and confidentiality controls. The team enables timely and compliant contract processing while supporting the transition to Evisort and standardized digital workflows. The shift timing for the role is 1:30 PM – 10:30 PM IST

 

Purpose of the role

The CLM Contract Coordinator will provide day-to-day operational support across the contract lifecycle, from intake and e-signature coordination through repository completion and access control.

The role will help ensure that contracts are processed accurately, securely, and within agreed service levels. It will support contracts from Sourcing, IT, Marketing, Sales, Customer, and other business functions, but will not own sourcing decisions, legal approvals, contract negotiation, or the broader Evisort roadmap.

The role is intended to provide the permanent capability currently being covered through a temporary internal arrangement.
