Do you enjoy a role that offers a wide variety of responsibilities, and “something new every day?”

MassMutual is hiring for an experienced business professional with substantial contract drafting and negotiation experience. This role involves understanding the underlying business problem and resulting transaction, working with internal stakeholders to gain their input and approvals as necessary, explaining deal terms and risks to the internal engagement manager, and negotiating terms directly with the supplier. You will have a deep support structure in our transformed Procurement organization – including Category Management and Supplier Relationship Management, among other dedicated functions.

The Team

On the MassMutual Procurement team, we have a goal to enable MassMutual’s mission and vision by providing the right supplier solution at the right time. Our mission is to streamline the procurement process, align supplier partners to meet business needs and continuously increase the value provided to our policyholders.

  • Negotiating with suppliers to produce contracts that adhere to MassMutual contracting standards and meet business objectives. You will be responsible for planning and executing negotiation strategy in a timely manner while adjusting to changing circumstances
  • Drafting and/or redlining contracts to ensure that MassMutual is adequately protected from risks by relying upon your skills to assess the impact of deviations from standards and engage internal stakeholders when required
  • Driving transactions to completion in a timely manner
  • As the central point of contact for each contract, you will leverage your organizational skills and influence to ensure deals are negotiated and executed in accordance with business timelines
  • Working closely with the larger Procurement team, and stakeholders as appropriate
  • You will be expected to share your learnings with other Contract Managers

The Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree
  • 3+ years of experience in contract evaluation, drafting and redlining
  • 3+ years of experience with IT and technology related contracts including Software as a Service (SaaS), hardware, software licensing, IT professional services, etc.

  • Superior written and verbal communication skills
  • Business acumen and critical thinking
  • Strong organizational skills, time management and problem-solving skills
  • 4+ years of experience developing and executing contracting and negotiation strategies for complex agreements such as Software as a Service and business process outsourcing
  • Experience working with multiple procurement functions such as supplier and category management

What to Expect as Part of MassMutual and the Team

  • Regular meetings with the Procurement Team
  • Focused one-on-one meetings with your manager
  • Access to mentorship opportunities
  • Networking opportunities including access to Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, African American, women, LGBTQ, veteran and disability-focused Business Resource Groups
