Job description

The Company

Stream is on a mission to bring financial wellbeing to all workers.

We partner with some of the world's most well-known employers, like Crate & Barrel, Driven Brands, General Electric, New Balance, Restaurant Brands International (RBI) and others, to give their teams access to fairer financial services. Over 3 million people track their shifts and earnings, start their first savings account, use budgeting tools, access financial education and choose when they want to get paid. All in one smartphone app.

Stream is unique: VC-backed and growing at scale-up pace, but with a social conscience. Some of the world's leading financial charities and impact funds were our founding investors.

You'd be joining a team of over 300 passionate, ambitious people across the UK, Europe and US, building a category-leading FinTech product with the mission to improve the lives of millions.

The Opportunity

As Stream continues to scale, our US Legal team needs a part-time Contracts Manager to be its operational anchor.

You’ll handle our day-to-day contract workflow—managing standard NDAs, order forms, renewals, and routine service agreements—keeping our contracting process moving quickly as the company scales. As you settle in, you’ll also start taking first passes at redlining core customer, vendor, and partner agreements. Reporting directly to our Global General Counsel, you’ll collaborate daily with teams across US Sales, Marketing, People, and Product.

What will you be doing?

• Drafting, reviewing and processing NDAs, order forms, standard renewals and other simple agreements, and either routing them for signature or flagging key issues for an attorney
• Handling initial redlines on customer, vendor and partner contracts, and coordinating compliance and data requests alongside the attorney
• Acting as the Legal team’s point of contact for contract intake, and building and running a clear, formal intake process so requests are vetted and prioritized
• Managing signatures, and keeping legal documents, filings and contract records organized and easy to find
• Working from Stream’s US templates (NDAs, MSAs, SOWs) and the legal playbook, applying our preferences and risk tolerance consistently
• Spotting bottlenecks and building repeatable processes for routine contracts that make the business faster and more consistent
• Partnering with Sales, Marketing, People and Product to understand their needs and keep deals moving

What we’re looking for

Must-haves

• 5-10 years contracts experience
• Must know how to use MS Word (and redlining function) and G-suite (gmail, google docs, google drive etc.)
• Experience in Fintech a plus (but not required)

What success looks like

Within one month

• You’ve learned the Stream business and products, and understand the current US contract lifecycle
• You’ve completed intensive hand-off sessions with our current legal team, capturing historical context, stakeholder preferences and the technical processes already in place
• You’ve reviewed all US templates (NDAs, MSAs, SOWs) and the legal playbook
• You’ve met key partners in US Sales, Marketing, People and Product to understand their pain points and common issues

Within two months

• You’ve started taking over low-complexity, high-volume contracts such as NDAs and standard renewals
• You’ve set up a more organized, formal intake process so requests are properly vetted
• You’ve identified potential bottlenecks and began creating a process for routine contracts that is efficient and consistent

Within three months

• You’re reviewing NDAs, order forms and other simple agreement modifications, and either processing them for signature or highlighting key issues for an attorney
• You’re the Legal team’s point of contact for contract intake, and you’re streamlining how requests flow through
• You’re supporting the attorney on more substantive vendor, customer and partner contracts by handling initial redlines and coordinating compliance and data requests
• You’re creating new processes for Legal that make life easier for the business

Remuneration: $65-75 per hour, depending on experience.

Location: This role is based in our Arlington, VA office with ad-hoc on-site requirements.

Employment Type: This 6 month contract offers up to 20-25 hours per week.
