As Contract Manager, you will be the operational backbone of Built's commercial contracting: negotiating SaaS agreements, MSAs, NDAs, and vendor contracts; staying ahead of product and pricing changes before they become contract problems; and navigating the specific, complex procurement requirements of large financial institutions. This high‑ownership role is for someone who redlines confidently, inserts themselves into business conversations proactively, and enjoys the place where legal precision meets commercial speed. You will work directly with our Head of Legal, Risk & Compliance and have real ownership over a meaningful portion of Built’s contract portfolio from day one. What You'll Do Review, redline, and negotiate a high volume of commercial agreements: SaaS subscriptions, MSAs, NDAs, strategic partnerships, vendor contracts, and data‑licensing terms. Partner with Sales and RevOps to support deal execution; act as a trusted, practical advisor on contract risk and structure while keeping deals moving. Stay proactively ahead of product and pricing changes by engaging with Product, RevOps, and Go‑to‑Market teams before changes become contract problems. Navigate bank and financial‑institution procurement, negotiating with firm counterparties. Own the contract lifecycle in Ironclad: track key terms, renewal windows, compliance obligations, and amendments across Sales and Procurement. Build and maintain contract templates, playbooks, and best practices that scale with the business and accurately reflect what Built is selling. Use AI tools to accelerate drafting, redline review, and contract analysis, and proactively identify opportunities to increase operational leverage. Provide practical guidance on regulatory considerations and risk exposure to help business teams move fast without undue liability. Design and deliver internal training on contract‑related topics to enable Sales, Finance, and Operations teams across the company. What We're Looking For Must‑Hold 3+ years of hands‑on contract management experience: drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements (not contract administration). Confidence negotiating a broad range of commercial contracts well beyond NDAs: SaaS agreements, vendor contracts, MSAs. Experience partnering closely with Sales teams in a fast‑paced environment. Strong organizational instincts; able to manage high volume and competing deadlines without slipping. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; able to engage effectively across all levels of the business. Comfort using AI tools in contract or legal work: drafting, analysis, summarization, or workflow automation. Strong Differentiators Background in SaaS, fintech, or highly regulated industries. Experience navigating bank or financial‑institution procurement processes. Familiarity with Ironclad, DocuSign, or comparable CLM tools. Demonstrated ability to improve contract processes, templates, or workflows for efficiency and scale. Prior exposure to venture‑ or private‑equity‑backed companies or background working with financial institutions or lenders. What We're Not Looking For Attorneys without operational contracting depth, or candidates whose titles say “contract manager” but whose actual work has been primarily administrative. This role requires someone who gets their hands dirty redlining across a broad range of commercial agreements, not just NDAs. Why This Role You will work directly with Built's Head of Legal, Risk & Compliance, with real ownership over a meaningful slice of the company's commercial portfolio from day one. Built's legal team has built an unusually high level of trust across the organization; this isn't an order‑taking function. The faster contracts close, the faster Built grows, and this role sits right at that intersection. High impact: Your work directly influences deal execution speed and revenue growth. Real ownership: You’ll manage a meaningful contract portfolio autonomously, not as a support function. Cross‑functional exposure: You’ll work across Sales, RevOps, Product, Finance, and Legal, and be trusted by all of them. Industry depth: Fintech and construction finance contracting is genuinely complex, and expertise in it is valuable. Growth path: For a high performer, there’s a clear trajectory toward senior contract management or legal operations leadership as the function scales. Salary and Benefits Built’s salary range for this position is $90,000 – $150,000 USD per year. Salary is just one component of Built’s total compensation package. The package includes equity, market‑current medical, dental and vision coverage, an unlimited PTO policy, and other benefits. Travel Requirement If the role is not hybrid or on‑site, non‑local candidates must be able to travel at least twice per year to Nashville, TN or another designated location for company‑wide events (e.g., “Connect Week”). Additional travel may be required based on business needs and role responsibilities. Perks The rare opportunity to radically disrupt a $1.5 trillion industry. Robust compensation package, including equity in the form of stock options. Learning Grant program to support ongoing professional development. 401(k) with match and expedited vesting (US ONLY). Equal Employment Opportunity Built brings together passionate people who are driven in a variety of disciplines, each bringing their unique perspective to everything they do. We’re committed to building a safe, inclusive workplace where every employee can succeed, and we recruit, hire, and promote fairly without bias based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. #J-18808-Ljbffr
