Contracts Manager

You have 3+ years owning commercial contracts in-house, and you've independently redlined and closed NDAs, DPAs, and MSAs without an attorney walking you through them.

You are organized to a degree other people find slightly excessive. Every open redline, obligation, and renewal date is tracked, and nothing falls off.

You are at home in the detail. A DPA with three conflicting definitions of “Personal Data” is a puzzle you enjoy, not a chore you dread.

Law was a real consideration for you at some point - you may have prepped for the LSAT, worked shoulder-to-shoulder with attorneys, or come close to applying - and you concluded the operating side of legal is where you do your best work.

You are already using AI in your work, or you are impatient to. You don't need to know how the models work; you need to believe the first draft should come from a machine and your judgment should be spent on what matters.

GRC is new to you and that reads as interesting rather than intimidating. You've noticed it runs on the same things contracting does - structure, evidence, follow-through - and you want the surface area.

You spot a manual or error-prone process before anyone points it out, and you fix it - building a clause library instead of redlining from scratch every time.

You communicate clearly and concisely with Sales, Customer Success, Engineering, and outside counsel, without over-explaining or leaving people guessing.

An attorney role - no JD or bar admission is required or expected. Outside counsel handles the genuinely novel; you handle the rest.

A management role - there are no direct reports.

A GRC or security engineering role - you own the compliance program's operational rigor, not the underlying technical controls (IAM, SIEM, pen testing), and you do not need a GRC background walking in.

A redline-only role - contracting is the core, but vendor management and the compliance program's operational cadence come with it.

We hire for potential, passion for our mission, and a knack for solving difficult problems over checking every qualification box. We have competitive pay, equity with significant upside, and intentionally design our benefits to encourage healthy and well-balanced employees, flexible schedules and time off. We even offer a sabbatical after every five years of service so you’re able to pursue and enjoy what matters most to you. And of course, we wouldn’t be a technology company without a ping-pong table and free snacks in our break room. Join us!
