Job Description
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.
