Job Description
Contract Management Consultant overseeing legal and commercial agreements at Podean. Managing contract reviews, standardization, and legal compliance for global markets.
Responsibilities:
- Review, negotiate, and manage all client-facing contracts including MSAs, SOWs, service agreements, and amendments
- Serve as the primary point of contact for contract-related questions across Sales, Account Management, and Finance
- Identify legal and commercial risks in client agreements and recommend protective language or structural changes
- Partner with Sales during the deal process to ensure contracts are client-friendly without compromising Podean's interests
- Support Account Management in navigating mid-engagement changes, scope creep, and client pushback on terms
- Lead the development and rollout of standardized contract templates, frameworks, and approval workflows across Podean's global markets - US, Europe, LATAM, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East
- Audit existing contracts across regions to surface inconsistencies, gaps, and risk - and build a clear remediation plan
- Develop region-specific variations that maintain global consistency while reflecting local legal requirements and market norms
- Build and maintain a global contracts playbook that lets regional teams move fast while staying within approved guardrails
- Be the internal authority on contract standards, keeping all regional offices aligned on approved terms and escalation paths
- Engage local legal counsel in key markets as needed for compliance and enforceability
- Help evolve Podean's pricing and engagement models - retainer structures, performance-based terms, milestone billing, and other frameworks that better reflect the value we deliver
- Stay current on marketplace industry norms, e-commerce service agreements, and relevant legal considerations across our key markets
Requirements:
- 5+ years in contract management, legal operations, or commercial management - ideally within a digital agency, SaaS, or e-commerce environment
- Proven experience building or standardizing contract frameworks across multiple markets or business units
- Deep familiarity with MSAs, SOWs, and client service agreements in a professional services context
- Working knowledge of how contract terms and legal requirements differ across the US, UK, EU, APAC, and LATAM
- Sharp eye for risk in contract language - and the ability to translate legal nuance into plain business guidance
- Commercial mindset: you think about how deals are structured, not just whether the paperwork is clean
- Strong cross-functional communicator - able to work across Sales, Finance, and AM without getting siloed, and influence regional teams without direct authority
- Highly organized, comfortable juggling multiple active negotiations across time zones
- Experience in global, multi-market organizations strongly preferred
- JD or paralegal background is a plus
Benefits:
- Professional development
