<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Purchasing & Contracting Services is looking to add to our awesome staff!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you know someone who would be a great addition – please feel free to share this job:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The University Contracts Administrator is a senior level contracting position responsible for handling a wide variety of transactions. The University Contracts Administrator works in concert with the PCS Management Team to develop and implement
policies, processes, and procedures that support timely contracting services and achieve the best interests of the University. The University Contracts Administrator acts in the decentralized business environment of a public university and assists University
departments to conceptualize, negotiate, draft, review, process, and finalize contracts with third parties for the acquisition of goods and services and for other purposes. In carrying out these functions, the University Contracts Administrator must understand
the University policy, practice, administrative rules, and state and federal laws applicable to contracting and the priorities of the University.<br>
<br>
This position works independently and is expected to carry out University-level contract assignments with minimal oversight from their supervisor. They are responsible for university-wide custom contracts and financial commitments which have potentially serious
impacts if managed improperly. Since they act on management’s behalf to carry out contract assignments and manage projects, they will interact with individuals at all levels of the organization. A strong ability to demonstrate inclusivity, empathy, tact, and
diplomacy is therefore necessary.<br>
<br>
This position will have the authority to sign legal instruments with third parties that legally bind the university, up to a maximum limit of $500,000.<br>
<br>
Additionally, the University Contracts Administrator will serve as the primary contract administrator for a Regional Business Hub or PCS, as assigned. As the primary contract administrator for a Regional Business Hub or PCS, the University Contracts Administrator
will track contract compliance, manage the contract life cycle, and track vendor performance to contracts for non-construction related goods and services. Additionally, the University Contracts Administrator will act as the primary project manager for informal
and formal complex, high risk public solicitation events. The University Contracts Administrator will also conduct requirements gathering for sourcing/solicitation events and complex non-construction related contracts for PCS or Regional Business Hub customers.<o:p></o:p></p>
