Senior Contracts Manager

At Signifyd we’re creating a new market. We’re constantly improving and expanding the technology that has changed what fraud protection for ecommerce looks like. So we don’t have time for office politics. We understand that different people have different work styles and we thrive on variety while learning from each other. We’re all Signifyers, so we know that what needs to get done will get done.

Signifyd is a place where no one is going to tell you how to do your job. If you want help, you'll get it — from all quarters. But we pretty much figure out what needs to be done, who's in the best position to do it and then let that person roll-up their sleeves and have at it. We're protecting retailers from online fraud in a way that's never been done before and we could use your help if you're someone: 

- Who believes challenges are best overcome by thinking differently.

- Who knows their role and what needs to be done, but isn’t confined by it.

- Whose greatest satisfaction comes from helping customers succeed.

- Who isn’t afraid to disagree, convincingly, civilly and honestly.

 The Position

As a Senior Contracts Manager at Signifyd, you play an integral part of the Legal team responsible for reviewing and negotiating merchant and vendor agreements, manage systems and processes, and help build a strong collaborative relationship with our global sales teams and other key cross-functional teams. In addition, you will be a key part of a cross-functional team designing policies and optimizing systems as we continue to scale.  This is a non-attorney role.

You will work with the RevOps, Deal Desk, and other cross-functional teams to find innovative ways to simplify our operating model and improve our processes.  You will advise on issues and risk in alignment with our commercial, corporate and strategic objectives for the global business. The contracts you will work on can be complex which require speed, business savviness and an appropriate level of autonomy and judgement.

We’re a lean team, so your impact will be felt immediately and opportunities for growth are abundant at Signifyd. The ideal candidate is a seasoned individual who can appropriately balance business objectives and legal considerations. You should enjoy close collaboration with legal and non-legal colleagues, have a positive, can-do attitude and be a creative problem solver. 

This position can be based anywhere in the US, either fully remote or in one of our offices in San Jose, Seattle, Denver or NYC.
