Contracts & Legal Operations Specialist

Contracts & Legal Operations Specialist
Context & Impact:
We're hiring a Contracts & Legal Operations Specialist to work at the heart of Lansweeper's commercial engine. This role owns the full contracting lifecycle - from first draft to signature - across customer, vendor, and partner agreements, while also driving legal operations and tooling. In the near term, you'll stabilise and improve existing processes; over time, you'll evolve our CLM setup, build AI-driven workflows, and act as a trusted commercial partner across Sales, Finance, HR, Security, Product, and Marketing.
The main challenges you'll face are:

• Building legal ops without a playbook - there's no established team or rigid process to inherit; you'll define, build, and continuously improve the function as the business scales.
• Cross-timezone collaboration with Belgium HQ - you'll work closely with the Legal Director and Corporate Counsel based in Belgium, which requires early US morning availability and strong async communication habits.
• Keeping pace with AI-driven contract tooling** - you'll own and evolve our CLM platform, automation workflows, and clause playbooks in a fast-changing legal tech landscape.

Key Responsibilities:

• Draft, negotiate, and close standard commercial agreements independently - including NDAs, order forms, and customer, partner, and vendor agreements - from first draft to signature.
• Review and finalise AI-generated first-pass redlines and clause extractions on incoming contracts before they go out to counterparties.
• Own contract automation and playbooks: maintain clause libraries and templates, and add new agreement types as the business evolves.
• Manage the full contract lifecycle: intake, repository, renewals, approvals, and terminations, and track and report on contract metrics.
• Coach commercial teams on standard terms and redlines so routine deals close without legal needing to touch every file.
• Collaborate with Sales and Deal Desk to streamline deal cycles, and drive legal ops projects including CLM/tool migrations and AI-driven process setup.

Key Requirements:
Hard Skills:

• 5+ years in contracts, legal operations, or deal desk in a SaaS/tech environment - no law degree required, but strong contract review and legal ops focus is essential.
• Proven track record negotiating commercial agreements directly with customers, partners, and suppliers.
• Technical contract fluency: security addenda, SLAs, API/integration terms, and complex partnership contracts such as OEM agreements.
• Working knowledge of data protection, IP/IT law, and corporate matters - enough to spot issues and inform contract review.
• Experience with CLM platforms (e.g. DocuSign) and/or CRM/ticketing tools such as Salesforce or Jira is a strong plus.

Soft Skills:

• High ownership and autonomy - self-directs priorities, collaborates cross-functionally, and escalates judgment calls appropriately.
• Pragmatic, business-first risk mindset - you find ways to say yes safely, not reasons to say no.
• Sharp stakeholder communicator, comfortable working across Commercial, Finance, Security, HR, Product, and Marketing.

AI-Specific Skills:
Lansweeper is an AI-native company. In this role, AI fluency is a core requirement - not a nice-to-have. You'll use LLM tools such as Claude and ChatGPT daily to speed up drafting and contract review, build custom workflows and automations, and review AI-generated redlines and clause extractions. You should be comfortable building with AI - creating prompts, automations, and skills - not just using it as a chat tool. Experience evolving CLM platforms with AI-driven capabilities is a strong advantage.
Team Info:
You'll join Lansweeper's Legal & Compliance team, reporting directly to the Legal Director. You'll collaborate closely with the Corporate Counsel based in Belgium, as well as Sales, Deal Desk, Finance, Security, HR, Product, and Marketing. This is a solo in-house contracts role - high autonomy, high impact.
Our Offer:

• Time off** - 20 vacation days + 3 sick days + 6 personal days + 12 public holidays.
• Health & protection** - Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, plus EAP mental health support.
• Pension** - 401(k) with 4% employer match.
• Work setup** - Hybrid working (Austin, Texas) with full telework equipment and a monthly internet allowance.
