Salary
💰 $85,000 - $110,000 per year
About the role
- Manage end-to-end contract lifecycle for customer agreements (SaaS subscriptions, recruiting services), partner agreements, and vendor/procurement contracts, from initial request through execution.
- Draft, review, and redline commercial agreements using established templates and playbooks; independently negotiate standard terms and identify when matters require escalation to outside counsel.
- Maintain and improve contract templates, clause libraries, and negotiation playbooks to reflect evolving business needs and market standards.
- Own the contract management system (CLM)—ensuring accurate records, complete metadata, version control, and reporting on key metrics (cycle time, renewal dates, obligation tracking).
- Manage security and compliance reviews by coordinating DPA execution, overseeing security questionnaire responses with IT, and tracking compliance obligations across the contract portfolio.
- Partner with Sales and Customer Success to accelerate deal velocity through streamlined contract processes, clear internal SLAs, and proactive bottleneck resolution.
- Track and manage contract renewals, expirations, and auto-renewal deadlines across the portfolio; own the renewal calendar and escalation process.
- Coordinate with Finance on contract terms that impact revenue recognition, billing, and procurement budgets.
- Build and maintain a contracts FAQ and self-service resource library to reduce repetitive legal inquiries from internal stakeholders.
- Leverage AI tools to accelerate contract review, redlining, and risk identification—SeekOut expects every team member to integrate AI into their daily workflows to maximize efficiency and output.
- Use AI-powered analytics to identify patterns in contract negotiations, flag non-standard terms, and generate insights that improve playbook effectiveness over time.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience in contract management, legal operations, or a paralegal role in a B2B SaaS or technology company.
- Solid familiarity with SaaS commercial agreements (MSAs, order forms, SOWs, DPAs, NDAs) and standard negotiation positions.
- Hands-on experience with contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools (e.g., Ironclad, DocuSign CLM, Agiloft, or similar).
- Working understanding of data privacy fundamentals (GDPR, CCPA) as they relate to commercial contracts and DPAs.
- Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage a high volume of contracts across multiple stakeholders simultaneously.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain contract terms in plain language to non-legal stakeholders.
- Proven experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, and IT teams.
- Comfortable presenting AI/automation value in regulated enterprise environments (data privacy, model transparency, change management).
- Demonstrated comfort with AI tools for document review, drafting, or legal operations; enthusiasm for pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in a contracts function.
- Paralegal certification or bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent practical experience is welcome.
- Familiarity with InfoSec standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and security review processes is a plus.
