Contracts Manager resume keywords

Contract lifecycle tools and negotiation, with contract volume and value. These are the terms recruiters search the ATS for, written the way postings write them.

Skills and methods

  • Negotiation
  • Contract Lifecycle Management
  • Vendor Agreements
  • Redlining
  • Risk Management

How to use them

  • Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
  • State bar admission precisely: "Admitted to practice, State of Illinois"
  • Use the posting's practice area names and the regulations you worked under (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX)
  • Put the J.D., school and graduation year in Education
  • Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
