Senior Contracts Lead - End-to-End Ownership (Remote)

Foundation; United States; Remote; USD 42,000 - 78,000; Full time

Job summary

Foundation is seeking an experienced Contract Manager to own full-cycle contract management from drafting through negotiation across client, vendor, and contractor agreements. You will steward MSAs, SOWs, and change orders, coordinating with outside counsel when needed.

You’ll also develop a knowledge system for contracts, harmonize templates, and configure DocuSign/PandaDoc and AI tools to empower teams. This is a fully remote, cross-border role in North America.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in contract management, paralegal, or contracts-counsel work, ideally within B2B SaaS, marketing/agency, or professional services.
• Demonstrated experience independently drafting and negotiating MSAs, SOWs, vendor contracts, and change orders – not just reviewing what others draft.
• Strong working fluency in US and Canadian contract law fundamentals (indemnification, liability caps, IP/usage rights, data privacy basics). A law license is not required – outside counsel remains engaged for formal opinions.

Responsibilities

• Draft and negotiate new client MSAs/SOWs from our template, and manage the client review and redline process directly.
• Own content-mapping and negotiation for contracts using a client’s own MSA/SOW template (e.g. enterprise accounts).
• Draft and manage change orders and extension orders referencing standing MSA/TC terms.
• Draft and negotiate vendor contracts, including cross-referencing vendor terms against the live client contract they support.
• Draft and manage employment, independent contractor and freelancer agreements.
• Own escalation judgment calls – what proceeds internally versus what goes to outside counsel – and act as the sole point of contact with counsel.
• Review every contract for insurance and liability terms (indemnification, coverage limits, additional insured requirements) as part of contract review.
