Join us as a Contract & Compliance Analyst !
As we build and deliver solutions, we are always guided by these priorities:
- Accuracy
- Timeliness
- Cost effectiveness
- New capabilities
The Role
Reporting directly to the CFO, the Contracts & Compliance Analyst owns the operational backbone of AKUVO’s contracts and compliance work. About two-thirds of the role is running contracts — customer agreements, vendor contracts, NDAs, and order forms — from intake through execution and renewal. The remaining third supports the SVP of Information Security on compliance and audits, third party security reviews and DPAs.
Because the role sits in the Office of the CFO, it has natural line of sight across Accounting, People & Culture, IT, and Information Security — the functions most affected by contracts and policy. This is a rare breadth of exposure for an early-career hire.
Key Responsibilities
- Run the contracts desk: triage, review, and redline customer agreements, vendor contracts, NDAs, and order forms against approved templates and playbooks.
- Own the contract lifecycle: from intake through execution, renewal, and expiration, in an organized and auditable repository.
- Support compliance audit cycles: Partner with the SVP of InfoSec to gather, organize, and submit evidence for audit attestation cycles. Own the evidence calendar, chase the owners, and keep the auditor from waiting on AKUVO.
- Run vendor security reviews and DPAs: keep them moving, document decisions, and align them with what we sign.
- Maintain the policy library: version-controlled, reviewed on cycle, and accessible to the people who need it.
- Stay current on industry compliance requirements: monitor and summarize relevant regulations and guidance (e.g., collections, data security/privacy, and AI) and translate changes into updated contract language, and templates.
- Partner across the CFO organization: surface contract terms that affect revenue recognition, run vendor reviews, and handle IT vendor contracts in the same queue.
Skills and Experience
- 1 to 3 years of relevant experience — contracts administration, paralegal, compliance operations, audit support, GRC, or an adjacent operations role.
- Strong written communication, sharp attention to detail, and follow-through that does not need a manager behind it.
- Sound judgment about when to decide, when to ask, and when to escalate.
- A track record of teaching yourself hard things and going to read the source material rather than the summary.
- AI-capable and motivated to find more efficient ways to handle recurring tasks (e.g., using AI tools to draft, summarize, organize, and automate routine work).
- Discretion — you will see commercial terms and internal matters that stay inside the room.
- Candidate must be local to Malvern, PA
Nice to Have
- Paralegal certification or coursework in contracts, business law, or compliance.
- Exposure to SaaS or FinTech contracts (MSAs, order forms, DPAs, security exhibits).
- Familiarity with Vanta.
- Microsoft Copilot experience a plus.
- Any exposure to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, or financial services regulation.
