• Drive Contract Excellence: Draft, review, and negotiate SaaS-centric agreements like subscriptions, MSAs, NDAs, and vendor deals—ensuring they fuel revenue while minimizing risks.
• Master the Lifecycle: Manage end-to-end contract workflows using CLM tools (e.g., Ironclad, DocuSign CLM), from intake to renewals, with seamless integrations to Salesforce and beyond.
• Collaborate Globally: Partner with Sales Ops, Finance, Product teams, and our India-based review squad to accelerate deals and standardize processes across borders.
• Mitigate & Innovate: Spot legal pitfalls in data privacy (GDPR/CCPA), IP, SLAs, and more; audit for compliance and pioneer AI-enhanced review tools.
• Advise & Optimize: Deliver insights on trends and metrics to executive leadership, refine templates/playbooks, and tackle special projects like M&A support. Expect a dynamic mix of strategic advisory and hands-on execution in a supportive, async-friendly culture spanning time zones.

Qualifications:

• Experience: 7+ years in contracts management, paralegal, or similar roles, with deep SaaS expertise (think subscription models, usage pricing, cloud SLAs). Multinational/cross-border exposure is a must.
• Skills: Proficiency in CLM systems and MS Office; bonus for CRM integrations. Sharp negotiator with top-tier communication, analytical chops, and the ability to prioritize in chaos.
