We are looking for a Contracts Administrator to join a fast-moving enterprise B2B SaaS company in Palo Alto, California. This opportunity is ideal for a contract administrator who can support a busy sales organization, manage routine agreement workflows, and respond quickly to day-to-day contract questions. The role will work closely with a small legal team and requires someone who is comfortable balancing accuracy, speed, and collaboration in a startup-style environment.
Responsibilities:
• Partner with approximately 30 sales representatives to prepare, review, and coordinate contract documents in support of revenue-generating activity.
• Handle NDA requests with a strong sense of urgency, maintaining prompt turnaround times while ensuring language is aligned with company standards.
• Review and process order forms and other lower-complexity commercial agreements, making limited revisions and confirming required formatting details such as signature blocks.
• Serve as an accessible resource for routine contract-related questions from the sales team, including guidance on agreement status and signature routing.
• Manage contract records and workflow steps within Ironclad, helping keep repository information organized and current.
• Coordinate document circulation for execution and ensure agreements move efficiently through approval and signature processes.
• Use legal technology and AI-enabled tools to support contract review tasks, particularly for high-volume NDA analysis.
• Work closely with attorneys on the legal team to escalate non-standard issues and maintain consistency across contract operations.
Qualifications:
• 5+ years of experience in contract administration, contract management, or a closely related legal operations role.
• Background supporting commercial contracting within a SaaS environment.
• Practical experience reviewing and negotiating nondisclosure agreements and handling routine order form terms.
• Strong working knowledge of Ironclad preferred, including contract workflow management and repository administration.
• Familiarity with contract processes connected to sales organizations and comfort supporting high-volume internal stakeholders.
• Experience using business tools such as Salesforce, Slack, and Google Sheets in a collaborative work environment.
• Ability to manage competing priorities, respond quickly to requests, and operate effectively in a fast-paced setting.
• Ability to work on-site on a full-time or hybrid basis.
