Job Description
Our team operates with a passion for service. We believe in the life-changing work that our faculty, staff and students pursue each day. We take pride in our work and the unique stewardship role we play in supporting that work. We are trusted advisers – working with units across the institution to understand their needs and identify solutions. We are skilled practitioners who strive to make the Procurement process painless and efficient. We believe in developing exceptional team members for growth and advancement, and we believe that every member of our team is a leader.
Every day we are coming up with innovative solutions to the world’s problems and changing lives. At UGA, we are feeding the hungry; we are curing disease; we are lifting families to new heights; we are helping students realize their potential; and much more. When we view our careers through this lens – through the impact of lives changed across the globe – we work with a purpose.
The Contract Negotiator position resides in the University Procurement Office and reports to the Chief Procurement Officer. In this role, you will have responsibility for in-depth review of contractual agreements, revision of terms and conditions, and negotiation of contracts for goods and services. Revisions include the negotiation of terms and conditions with vendors. Review of contracts will encompass compliance with Federal and Georgia State law, HIPAA, FERPA, GLBA, PCI, Export Control and other requirements. Revisions will be coordinated with OLA for legal sufficiency and negotiations will involve OLA, campus stakeholders and Procurement staff as necessary.
You will be supporting key initiatives across campus providing unique visibility and impact opportunities that make this role particularly exciting. Exceptional relationship building, attention to detail, organizational and time management skills are integral to this position. More than anything, we are seeking an individual who is passionate and driven to succeed, someone who values a strong culture and is excited by the opportunity to have a positive impact on the faculty, staff and students we serve every day.
We believe you will find that we have a lot of offer. Our total compensation package is competitive. In addition to a salary and generous benefits package, supplemental benefits like the Tuition Assistance Program can add significant compensatory value. Finally, the intangible benefits and the opportunity to be a part of something bigger – being part of a legacy spanning more than 235 years – are immeasurable.
If you share the same passion that we do, we hope you will consider this opportunity.
