  • • Partner with internal stakeholders and external counterparties to support contract discussions and help secure commercially sound terms.
  • • Review contract language for accuracy, consistency, and alignment with internal policies, market standards, and legal requirements.
  • • Track contractual obligations and monitor compliance with applicable regulations and agreed terms.
  • • Maintain organized contract files, version control, and supporting documentation so records remain current and accessible.
  • • Work with legal, finance, and operations teams to address contract questions, resolve discrepancies, and support day-to-day agreement administration.
  • • Evaluate contractual provisions for potential commercial or legal exposure and recommend practical revisions to reduce risk.
  • • Prepare summaries, status updates, and performance reporting related to contract activity, trends, and key metrics.
  • • Contribute to improvements in contract administration processes to increase efficiency, accuracy, and overall effectiveness.
  • • Bachelor’s degree in business, paralegal studies, law, finance, or a related discipline.
  • • At least 3 years of experience in contract administration, contract management, or contract analysis.
  • • Background supporting contracts within the energy commodity industry, particularly natural gas, NGLs, or crude oil, is strongly preferred.
  • • Working knowledge of contract negotiation principles, pricing structures, and commercial terms.
  • • Familiarity with contract lifecycle management tools and strong proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.
  • • Experience with energy trading and risk management platforms is an advantage, and exposure to TriplePoint is especially desirable.
  • • Strong analytical judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting.
  • • Effective communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work across legal, commercial, finance, and operations teams.
