The role

Antithesis is looking for a Contracts Manager to help us move quickly and thoughtfully as we scale. In this role, you will own day-to-day contract review and negotiation across a wide range of commercial matters, with a particular focus on helping internal teams close business efficiently while managing legal and operational risk.

This is a practical, high-judgment role for someone who is comfortable working directly with cross-functional partners, translating legal issues into clear business guidance, and improving the systems and processes that support contract review at scale.

What you'll do

Review, draft, and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements, including NDAs, vendor agreements, customer-facing agreements, and other operational contracts
Partner closely with sales, finance, and leadership teams to provide clear, actionable guidance during contract review
Identify legal, business, and operational risks in proposed agreements and recommend practical paths forward
Support all aspects of the Legal department as needed in a dynamic, rapidly growing organization.
Help maintain and improve contract templates, fallback language, playbooks, and internal review processes
Support contract intake and triage so requests are routed appropriately and handled efficiently
Advise internal stakeholders on approval requirements, escalation points, and contracting best practices
Track recurring issues in negotiations and help turn them into better standards, tools, and workflows
Contribute to the buildout of a legal function that is trusted, responsive, and business-minded

What you bring

Bachelor’s degree
5+ years of commercial transactions experience, preferably in a fast-paced environment
Strong judgment about risk, materiality, and when to escalate
Ability to explain contract issues in plain English to non-lawyers
Experience with Ironclad is a plus
Excellent drafting, issue-spotting, and negotiation skills
A highly organized working style and the ability to manage multiple matters at once
Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift quickly
A service-oriented mindset and a bias toward solving problems, not just identifying them

You may be a great fit if

You like building structure where there is ambiguity
You care about helping teams move fast without cutting corners
You are equally comfortable redlining agreements and improving the process behind them
You know how to be precise without being rigid
You have a strong instinct for when a contract issue is routine, when it is strategic, and when it needs escalation

This role is fully onsite in Vienna, VA.
