The Position A boutique outside general counsel firm supporting venture-backed and high-growth companies is seeking a seasoned Contracts Manager to support day-to-day commercial contracting operations across a portfolio of startup clients. Handle NDA review and negotiation, redline and negotiate commercial agreements including MSAs, SOWs, procurement/vendor agreements, and other commercial contracts. Own the operational and logistical side of the contract lifecycle process: manage intake requests, triage and organize contract workflows, follow up with stakeholders for missing information, route agreements through DocuSign for execution, track signature status, and ensure agreements are properly documented and filed after completion. The environment is fast-paced and highly client-facing, requiring an organized, responsive, commercially minded individual comfortable balancing multiple client priorities simultaneously. Ideal candidate will have exposure to industrial manufacturing and the energy sector, an in-house mindset, and be comfortable serving as both a contracts negotiator and a central operational point person for contract management processes. Experience managing high-volume commercial contract workflows and working directly with business stakeholders is strongly preferred. This project starts ASAP, is ongoing, is remote, and requires 30‑40 hours per week. The hourly rate for this assignment is expected to be between $65 and $75. This range is an estimate; compensation will be based on qualifications, skill set, relevant experience, specific client needs, project requirements, and other considerations permitted by law.
