Qualifications

• 5+ years in contract management, legal operations, or commercial operations at a high-growth tech company.

• Independently draft, review, and negotiate NDAs within approved playbooks and fallbacks.
• Prepare first drafts and markups of commercial agreements using Higgsfield templates and playbooks, escalating exceptions to Legal with clear recommendations.
• Conduct final quality checks and coordinate Legal, Finance, and executive approvals before signature.
• Route approved agreements through Ironclad and DocuSign and ensure executed agreements are properly filed.
• Manage contracting SLAs, proactively flag delays, and maintain clear visibility into open matters.
• Co-own the build and ongoing administration of Ironclad, including intake workflows, approval logic, templates, clause libraries, metadata, permissions, repository structure, and reporting.
• Translate Higgsfield’s contracting playbooks into standardized clauses, approved fallbacks, escalation rules, and automated workflows.
• Build and maintain self-service intake workflows and templates across B2B and non-B2B agreements.
• Maintain permissions, record types, legacy agreements, and repository hygiene so Ironclad remains the single source of truth.
• Troubleshoot workflow issues and partner with workflow engineers when technical support is required.
• Build reporting around contract volume, cycle times, SLAs, and bottlenecks.
• Support integrations and automation across Finance, Security, Slack, AI-assisted review, and other systems.
