The role will report to the Chief Legal Officer and will own the day-to-day vendor contracts and procurement workflow for the Legal team, serve as the subject matter expert for our contract lifecycle management system, and play a central role in two major platform build-outs: the migration of approximately 65,000 agreements, and the evaluation and implementation of an AI-assisted contract redlining and e-signature tool. You will work closely with the Legal team and with business partners from across the EverCommerce organization. You will be comfortable working autonomously, managing a high volume of concurrent matters, and making sound, practical decisions in a fast-paced environment. This role also provides general administrative support to the Legal team as needed. This is a high-ownership role with significant operational scope on a team that takes its infrastructure and processes seriously. You: You are seeking an opportunity to take real ownership of a vendor contracts portfolio and procurement operations function at a fast-growing technology company. You thrive working through a high volume of concurrent matters and take pride in being the reliable, responsive point of contact that business teams and the Legal team count on. You are highly organized and can juggle multiple competing deadlines without dropping the ball. You are deeply process-minded: you notice inefficiencies, document what you learn, and look for ways to make the workflow faster and more predictable. You are also systems-fluent — comfortable owning a CLM platform, learning new tools quickly, and contributing meaningfully to platform build-outs and migrations. You are an effective communicator who can translate contract and procurement concepts for non-legal stakeholders without jargon or unnecessary friction.
