About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will be a primary owner of Ataccama’s commercial contract pipeline on a contractor basis, working within a lean Legal team that punches well above its weight.
Your core focus is commercial agreements—keeping deals moving, maintaining quality, and absorbing the surge that comes with every quarter-end push.
You’ll work closely with Legal (supporting our General Counsel and Deputy General Counsel), Sales, and Customer Success and will operate primarily in Linksquares (our CLM), Google Drive, Slack, and Docusign.
Review, draft, and negotiate commercial agreements including MSAs, Order Forms, SOWs, Evaluation Agreements, NDAs, and DPAs.
Manage redlines on customer paper and Ataccama standard templates, protecting key commercial terms while keeping deals moving.
Own the contract lifecycle in Linksquares, including template-based drafting and Docusign signature management, keeping records accurate and up to date.
Advise Sales and Customer Success on contract-related questions, escalating to senior Legal counsel as appropriate.
Support third-party vendor and partner agreement reviews, including subcontractor, reseller, and OEM arrangements.
Ramp up availability during quarter-end pushes to absorb increased contract volume and work alongside the Legal team to clear the pipeline.
Assist with material contract review projects and due diligence requests on an as-needed basis.
