About this role

Sift is hiring a full-time Contracts & Legal Ops Specialist to manage agreements remotely within the United States. This position is ideal for an organized professional with at least two years of relevant experience who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to leverage AI tools daily.

Role Overview

The Contracts & Legal Ops Specialist at Sift will run the contracting process end to end for customer, vendor, and partner agreements. AI tools will handle first-pass reviews and drafting, allowing the specialist to independently negotiate standard paper while escalating high-risk matters to legal counsel. Working as part of a small, dynamic legal and compliance team, this role requires managing the full contract lifecycle and collaborating closely with Sales, Deal Desk, and finance.

Key Responsibilities

Draft, negotiate, and close standard commercial agreements independently, such as NDAs, order forms, standard renewals, and low-risk partner and vendor agreements.
Review and finalize AI-generated first-pass redlines and clause extraction on incoming contracts.
Own contract automation and playbooks by updating clause libraries, adjusting intake logic, and adding new agreement types as the business evolves.
Manage procurement requests end to end, including tracking requests through Jira and negotiating standard pricing and terms.
Oversee the complete contract lifecycle, covering intake, repositories, renewals, approvals, and terminations.
Coach the Sales team on standard terms and redlines so routine deals close efficiently without requiring legal review for every file.
Track and report on contract and vendor metrics while triaging inbound requests to determine when to escalate to legal counsel.

Requirements

Minimum of 2 years of experience in a deal desk, legal operations, or contracts role, preferably within a B2B SaaS company.
Comfort level utilizing AI tools on a daily basis to accelerate drafting and review processes.
Sound judgment to differentiate standard terms from items requiring legal counsel.
Practical experience working with Salesforce and Jira.
Strong organizational and time-management capabilities to handle heavy volumes and shifting priorities.
Adaptability to thrive in a developing role where tooling and processes continuously change.

Nice to Have

Prior paralegal, compliance, or legal experience.
Familiarity with Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platforms like Ironclad, Conga, LinkSquares, or DocuSign Navigator.
Exposure to data privacy or DPA concepts such as GDPR and CPRA.
Background in a trust and safety, risk, or fraud-adjacent business.
Hands-on experience building custom prompts, workflows, or lightweight automations using LLM tools like ChatGPT or Claude.
Past experience in a high-growth company environment.
