Location: Redwood City, CA / Hybrid (M,W,F) What You'll Do: This is a 0-to-1 opportunity to build and optimize, not just maintain.

Own standard and ad-hoc reporting and metrics related to contract volume, turnaround times, and other key performance indicators to identify bottlenecks and propose data‑driven process improvements. Facilitate communication between Legal and internal business units regarding contract status and requirements to ensure administrative processes align with broader legal strategies and business objectives. Who You Are: BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience. 2+ years in contract administration or legal operations. Firm grasp of contract lifecycles and the "anatomy" of commercial agreements. Hands‑on experience with Ironclad Contract Lifecycle Management software, specifically in configuring workflows, managing permissions, and pulling reports (not just as an end‑user).

Self‑motivated, resourceful, able to meet aggressive deadlines, flexible, and demonstrated willingness and ability to learn new concepts/software/industries quickly. Strong attention to detail and critical thinking skills. Possess a genuine curiosity for AI and emerging technologies, with an eagerness to learn how to leverage AI to automate manual tasks while maintaining a high bar for ethical data handling and accuracy. What Sets You Apart (Bonus Points): Demonstrated metrics‑driven impact, such as quantifiable reductions in contract turnaround time or increases in self‑service contract volume. Prior experience implementing AI tools for contract extraction, data auditing, or other legal tech automation. A proven track record of acting as the connective tissue between Legal, Sales, and other business units, driving cross‑functional alignment and process adoption.
