This includes preparing, examining, proposing, and revising contracts that involve purchases of materials or services, leases, licenses, or other agreements. They ensure that all contracts are in compliance with legal requirements and company policies.

Certifications such as Certified Professional Contracts Manager (CPCM), Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM), or Certified Commercial Contracts Manager (CCCM) are considered beneficial in this role.
