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.

In addition, your responsibilities will include providing support to the Contract Compliance Practices Consultant for matters relating to updates and usage of our contract templates.

Your day to day would look like but is not limited to:

Assessing transactions and developing deal strategies. You will work closely with business partners and internal stakeholders to understand their needs, determine the risks and design appropriate execution plans.


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.
