• Identify and flag non-standard terms; recommend whether to accept, negotiate, or escalate
• Provide guidance to internal stakeholders on contract language and commercial norms
• Support evaluation of contract lifecycle management and AI-assisted review tooling

​

Skills and Experience

• 5+ years of contract management experience, ideally in-house at a SaaS or technology company
• Strong working knowledge of MSAs, NDAs, SaaS licensing, and order forms
• Proven ability to negotiate standard commercial agreements independently and make sound risk-based judgments
• Experience developing contract playbooks, clause libraries, or standard position guides
• Clear communicator; able to explain legal concepts and redline rationale to business stakeholders
• Self-directed and comfortable working asynchronously with a remote team

​

Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with contract lifecycle management tools (Ironclad, SpotDraft, Docusign CLM, or similar)
• Experience with AI-assisted contract review tools
• Prior fractional or multi-client consulting experience

​

Engagement Details

• Type: Independent contractor (1099)
