The Opportunity
Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you have wide latitude to make impactful decisions? Does the idea of coordinating among business owners, legal, IT and others to develop effective commercial contracts interest you? 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.

Understanding the business drivers behind transactions assigned to you and developing an execution plan
Communicating with fellow associates, leadership, and third parties
You will regularly communicate with internal stakeholders including the line of business, legal, compliance and data security groups to assess risks specific to each transaction
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
