About the Role

We're looking for a Contracts Manager & Vendor Procurement Lead to join our growing Legal & Operations team. In this role, you'll own the full lifecycle of ShopMy's commercial contracting and vendor procurement - drafting, reviewing, and negotiating agreements with vendors and partners, building scalable contracting processes, and acting as the connective tissue between Legal, Finance, Security, and every team that relies on outside vendors to get their work done. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience with commercial and procurement contracts, thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift quickly, and is energized by building process and structure from the ground up.

Your Impact in the Role

Contracts

- Draft, analyze, negotiate, and complete commercial and procurement contracts with ShopMy's Brand Partners and vendors, including ShopMy order forms, SaaS agreements, service agreements, and all other terms.

- Propose and build scalable solutions to improve contracting efficiency, including templates, playbooks, and standard terms

- Collaborate with business units and Legal to streamline contract management processes, identify potential risks, and drive continuous improvement in contract handling

- Partner with Product, Engineering, Finance, Security, and Business Operations teams to achieve key business objectives and deliver strategic, business-minded, solutions-focused counsel on contract terms

- Track contract renewals, key dates, and obligations, and maintain a clean, current contract repository

Vendor & Procurement Management

- Own the end-to-end procurement process from initial requisition through vendor selection, negotiation, diligence, security assessment, and invoice payment

- Facilitate and maintain relationships between ShopMy and its vendors/partners, creating standards for vendor engagement and helping teams find the best available vendors for their needs

- Analyze procurement objectives and needs, research the market, and assess options for meeting business requirements

- Analyze the cost structure of vendor bids and proposals to ensure competitive, favorable terms

- Hold responsibility for vendor governance, including performance tracking, risk assessment, and renewal or offboarding decisions

- Build and maintain vendor management standards and playbooks that scale as ShopMy grows

You Are Energized By

- Being the person who makes deals happen - translating business needs into signed, favorable agreements

- Building contracting and procurement processes and policies from the ground up in a high-growth environment

- A preference for straightforward, concise contract language over legalese and overwrought drafting

- Rolling up your sleeves and solving problems across a wide range of contracting, procurement, and vendor management matters

- Operating with initiative and autonomy, prioritizing competing deadlines, and knowing when to be flexible and when to draw a hard line

What We Are Looking For

- 1-3+ years of related contract management, vendor procurement, and/or commercial legal experience (we welcome junior commercial attorneys to apply), with meaningful experience supporting technology transactions, vendor engagements, or partnerships

- Experience operating in a fast-paced startup environment where priorities shift rapidly, with the adaptability to pivot with speed

- Substantive knowledge of software agreements, services agreements, reseller agreements, strategic partnerships, and general commercial contract terms

- Proven ability to lead a procurement process end-to-end, from requisition through vendor selection, negotiation, and invoice payment

- Excellent verbal and written communication, analytical, collaboration, and interpersonal skills

- A knack for identifying and implementing efficient processes and policies

- A motivated self-starter able to multitask and juggle multiple priorities independently

- Authentic integrity and a deep understanding of the importance of ethics in business

Bonus Points

- Based in New York

- Experience standing up contracting or vendor management functions from scratch

- Familiarity with the creator economy, influencer marketing, or digital platform business models

- Experience with contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools and procurement software
