Contracts Manager

Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits. 

Nearly half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.

Human Interest’s Legal Team is looking for an exceptional Contracts Manager who will work independently within the department to negotiate and close contracts. The person will own the management of the contract management tool, Malbek, and lead contract negotiations for various types of contracts including NDAs and MSAs, SOWs and other vendor agreements. 

What you get to do every day

• Use your experience to timely draft, review and negotiate agreements, including Master Services Agreements, Statements of Work, Consulting Agreements, and Confidentiality Agreements, escalating to others as needed
• Evaluate and provide advice on issues and complex transactions such as those involving data privacy, data security, partnerships, and intellectual property rights
• Manage a high volume of agreements from start to finish to support the company’s operational needs
• Develop collaborative working relationships with cross-functional partners, including Revenue, Events, IT/Engineering, and Finance
• Operate and support our existing contracting policies and processes and assist in the development and implementation of process improvements
• Play an important role in the continued implementation and management of our contract management system
• Develop and contribute to the development of contracting playbooks and templates, and support the continuous improvement of standard form agreements
• Develop and deliver training on contracting policies and processes or contract issues for the company
• Serve as primary point of contact for business stakeholders on contract matters
• Assist on other projects and supporting administrative functions as needed as part of the legal team, such as state and local jurisdiction licensing and litigation support
