Contract Analyst

Job Description

NielsenIQ (NIQ) is looking for a Contract Analyst to join the Contract Management team. This team supports
our North America business and is part of an overall global Contracts team. This role will focus on US clients
but there is opportunity to expand scope in the future. This is a fast paced, high volume, high performing team

business.

NIQ is in the process of implementing the Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) system to automate
the contract lifecycle, streamline approval processes, create clause libraries and create a contract repository
that will provide key data and analytics to support critical business decisions and processes. As the CLM
system automates much of the current manual effort, we expect the team’s focus to pivot on becoming expert
coaches to NIQ associates on contract related matters. NIQ is looking for an associate who is passionate
about commercial contracts and wants to grow with and help NIQ as we elevate our contract management
skills and practices.

Responsibilities and Duties:

• Draft, review, and release contracts and amendments that are in compliance with company guidelines
