About the Team

Outreach's Legal team supports the business as a lean, fully remote group that blends deep commercial contracting expertise with legal operations discipline. The team partners closely with Sales, Finance, Revenue Operations, Business Systems, and Privacy to keep deals and processes moving, and covers both U.S. West Coast and East Coast hours to ensure reliable, always-on queue coverage. The team is actively modernizing how legal work gets done - from CLM and contract-repository tooling (Ironclad, Salesforce, Atlassian Jira, Mindtickle) to embedding AI into everyday contracting and operations workflows.


The Role

Outreach is hiring a Senior Contracts and Legal Operations Manager to join its Legal team. This role reports directly to the Senior Director, Legal and combines two complementary disciplines: commercial contracting and legal operations.


On the contracting side, you will provide coverage of Legal's contracting queues during U.S. West Coast hours, independently handling intake, triage, and negotiation of agreements within defined templates, playbooks, and fallback positions. Attorneys remain actively involved in contracting, and you will coordinate closely with them on complex or non-standard matters.


On the operations side, you will shape the systems, processes, templates, and reporting that Legal and the broader business rely on, including driving AI adoption into Legal's daily work and workflows.


The position offers broad cross-functional exposure across Sales, Business Systems, Finance, Revenue Operations, Privacy, and other teams. We are looking for a business-focused professional who delivers measurable results, exercises sound judgment, operates with independence within defined authority, and builds practical partnerships across the organization.


Location: This is a remote (US) position that requires availability during U.S. West Coast business hours to ensure coverage of Legal's contracting queues.

Legal operations management: Contracting Processes, Templates, and Business Enablement

• Work with Ironclad, Salesforce, Atlassian Jira, Mindtickle, and other tools used by the Legal team

• Own and drive multiple concurrent workstreams to completion, managing priorities and dependencies independently and pulling in the Senior Director, Legal where needed

• Keep the Senior Director, Legal informed through concise reporting on progress, dependencies, risks, decisions needed, and opportunities to unblock work

• Deliver reporting that converts contract-repository data into insights the business can use to make decisions and take operational action

• Incorporate AI into Legal systems and workflows to produce measurable process improvements

Our Vision of You

• Seven (7) or more years of relevant commercial contracts or legal operations experience, preferably including meaningful in-house experience in SaaS or enterprise technology

• Experience with Ironclad, Salesforce, Atlassian Jira, Mindtickle, or comparable legal technology and business systems, including familiarity with CLM (Ironclad) implementation, configuration, or optimization projects

• Experience building or improving contract-repository reporting and data analytics for business stakeholders

• Background in SaaS commercial contracting, including familiarity with subscription models, data processing agreements, and AI-related contract terms
