## Description

### The role

Antithesis is looking for a Contracts Manager to help us move quickly and thoughtfully as we scale. In this role, you will own day-to-day contract review and negotiation across a wide range of commercial matters, with a particular focus on helping internal teams close business efficiently while managing legal and operational risk.
This is a practical, high-judgment role for someone who is comfortable working directly with cross-functional partners, translating legal issues into clear business guidance, and improving the systems and processes that support contract review at scale.

### What you'll do

- Review, draft, and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements, including NDAs, vendor agreements, customer-facing agreements, and other operational contracts

- Partner closely with sales, finance, and leadership teams to provide clear, actionable guidance during contract review

- Identify legal, business, and operational risks in proposed agreements and recommend practical paths forward

- Support all aspects of the Legal department as needed in a dynamic, rapidly growing organization.

- Help maintain and improve contract templates, fallback language, playbooks, and internal review processes

- Support contract intake and triage so requests are routed appropriately and handled efficiently

- Advise internal stakeholders on approval requirements, escalation points, and contracting best practices

- Track recurring issues in negotiations and help turn them into better standards, tools, and workflows

- Contribute to the buildout of a legal function that is trusted, responsive, and business-minded

### What you bring

- Bachelor’s degree

- 5+ years of commercial transactions experience, preferably in a fast-paced environment

- Strong judgment about risk, materiality, and when to escalate

- Ability to explain contract issues in plain English to non-lawyers

- Experience with Ironclad is a plus

- Excellent drafting, issue-spotting, and negotiation skills

- A highly organized working style and the ability to manage multiple matters at once

- Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift quickly

- A service-oriented mindset and a bias toward solving problems, not just identifying them

### You may be a great fit if

- You like building structure where there is ambiguity

- You care about helping teams move fast without cutting corners

- You are equally comfortable redlining agreements and improving the process behind them

- You know how to be precise without being rigid

- You have a strong instinct for when a contract issue is routine, when it is strategic, and when it needs escalation
