💬 JOIN OUR JOBS COMMUNITYWhy This Role Exists
Contract management at Foundation has been running on multiple people's tribal knowledge rather than a documented process. As the company's enterprise business grows, including a recent account expansion worth more than $1 million, that approach needs to become a repeatable system.
This role gives one person ownership of the contract lifecycle from beginning to end. That includes drafting, negotiating and reviewing contracts across client agreements, vendor agreements, independent contractor agreements and other contract scenarios.
The goal is simple: create a dependable contract process that supports enterprise growth without creating unnecessary legal risk or becoming a bottleneck for the wider team.
Who This Role Is For
This opportunity is aimed at someone who enjoys taking ownership. You won't be walking into a perfectly documented contract department with every workflow already mapped out.
The right person will be comfortable looking at an unclear process, figuring out what is missing, and turning it into something the team can actually use.
- Take ownership of ambiguous, undocumented processes and turn them into a working system.
- Own drafting and negotiation directly rather than simply reviewing work produced by others.
- Know when a contract issue can be resolved internally and when it should be escalated to counsel.
- Explain contract terms clearly to sales, account management, project coordination and other non-legal teams.
- Work comfortably with DocuSign, PandaDoc, ClickUp and AI-assisted knowledge systems.
- Adapt to a fast-paced, fully remote working environment.

📲 JOIN JOBS COMMUNITYThis Role Is Not For You If
The company is deliberately clear about the working style expected in this position. This isn't designed as a role where someone waits for a complete playbook before getting started.
- You need a fully built process before you can begin contributing.
- You prefer reviewing other people's drafts rather than owning drafting and negotiation yourself.
- You are not comfortable working independently across US and Canadian jurisdictions with limited live overlap.
- You view legal review only as a bottleneck rather than a judgment call that requires ownership.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Full-Cycle Contract Ownership & Negotiation — About 75%
- Draft and negotiate new client MSAs and SOWs from company templates.

- Review insurance and liability provisions, including indemnification, coverage limits and additional insured requirements.
