Job description
Review contract negotiation redlines and assess whether they reflect what competent counsel would actually do. Remote, flexible, paid per task.
Domain: Contracts & Commercial Law
Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience negotiating and redlining commercial contracts (MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, DPAs, vendor and SaaS agreements, or similar). Hands-on contract redlining or negotiation experience is required; a law degree is not required if you have direct, hands-on redlining and negotiation experience.
Education: Bachelor's degree or higher.
In this role, you'll review contract negotiation turns and reference redlines, and assess whether the redline reflects what a competent counsel would actually do: the right issues flagged, the right positions taken, and edits made surgically.
All offers are contingent upon a background check. We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed above; we look for candidates who meet at least 70% of the listed qualifications.
Responsibilities
- Review contract negotiation transcripts and reference redlines
- Assess whether each redline reflects the judgment a competent counsel would exercise, including the right issues flagged, the right positions taken, and edits made surgically
- Provide clear, structured written feedback on redline quality
Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on experience negotiating and redlining commercial contracts (MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, DPAs, vendor/SaaS agreements, or similar)
- Bachelor's degree or higher
- Ability to evaluate contract redlines and communicate clear, structured written judgments
Preferred qualifications
- JD, LLB, or equivalent legal qualification
- Experience negotiating SaaS, MSA, or other technology commercial agreements
- Experience in a fast-paced in-house, fractional GC, or high-volume contracts environment
