Job description

FLSA Classification:

Exempt

Reports To:

Chief Finance Officer

Job Summary:

The Contracts Administrator owns Blossom's contract and legal document lifecycle end to end, with a strong emphasis on the Master Service Agreement (MSA): drafting, maintaining, and version‑controlling the MSA and related templates, redlining routine commercial agreements, organizing and maintaining the corporate data room, and driving due diligence readiness. The role also brings in‑house a range of legal aide/paralegal work currently handled by outside counsel, including drafting and finalizing investor and equity documents and preparing state and federal legal filings such as trademark applications. This is a mid‑level process‑ownership role requiring independent judgment over document accuracy, version control, and contract risk triage — not an entry‑level or purely clerical position. The role currently operates without a dedicated in‑house legal function and is expected to know when to elevate higher‑risk or substantive legal matters to outside counsel or leadership.

Supervisory Responsibilities:

None

Duties/ Responsibilities:

• Own and maintain the Master Service Agreement (MSA) and other core contract templates, keeping language current with business, regulatory, and product changes
• Redline and outine/basic commercial contracts (NDAs, vendor agreements, standard MSAs) within pre-approved risk parameters; flag and elevate non-standard or high-risk terms
• Serve as document control owner for all legal and corporate documents — contracts, corporate records, policies — ensuring version accuracy and accessibility
• Build, organize, and maintain the corporate data room; keep it audit- and diligence-ready on an ongoing basis rather than reactively
• Lead document collection and organization for due diligence processes (financing, partnership, audit, or acquisition-related)
• Track contract expirations, renewals, and key obligations; maintain a contract calendar and status log
• Partner with Finance, Compliance, Sales, and People Operations to route contracts for signature and ensure proper execution and storage
• Identify and implement improvements to contract workflows and document management tools/processes
• Support Compliance, Finance, and Sales with contract-related requests, including pulling and validating documentation
• Serve as the point of contact for due diligence requests from investors, customers, or auditors — locating, compiling, and organizing the relevant documents into a single, request-ready folder
• Maintain a version history of the MSA, tracking changes across iterations and ensuring the correct current version is always in use
• Periodically audit executed contracts against the current approved MSA/template to confirm signed agreements reflect the latest provisions; flag discrepancies
• Draft and issue contract amendments to customers when terms change, and track amendments through signature
• Draft and finalize investor and equity documents (e.g., subscription agreements, stock/option grant paperwork, cap table-related filings), coordinating with outside counsel on review as needed
• Prepare and file state and federal legal filings, including trademark applications and other routine corporate filings, bringing this work in-house from outside counsel
• Serve as a legal aide/paralegal resource to leadership, handling routine legal document work previously outsourced to the company's outside law firm
• Maintain confidentiality of sensitive legal, financial, and corporate information.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

Required Skills/ Abilities:

• Demonstrated ability to redline commercial contracts
• Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail and document accuracy
• Ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment on when to elevate legal risk
• Excellent written communication skills
• Ability to manage a data room or similar centralized document repository
• Familiarity with contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools preferred
• Comfortable operating as a power user of AI tools (Claude and similar platforms) to accelerate contract review, drafting, and document organization
• Proficient with Google Workspace or similar tools.

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience
• 5 to 10 years of experience in contracts administration, legal operations, paralegal work, or a similar document/process-ownership role
• Paralegal certificate or equivalent legal training required
• Experience in fintech, financial services, or a regulated industry preferred

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Must be able to lift up to 15 pounds at times.

What We Offer:

• Health, fully covered: Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees.
• Life & AD&D: Company-paid life and accidental death & dismemberment coverage.
• Income protection: Company-paid short- and long-term disability.
• 401(k) with match: Save for the long run, and we’ll match.
