[Hiring] Commercial Operations Contract Lead @Evolver

Role Description

We are hiring a Commercial Operations Contract Lead to drive customer contracting, customer onboarding, and NDA management as we scale Evolver's customer base. This role sits at the intersection of commercial operations, legal, and sales, applying strong contractual judgment to move deals from negotiation through signature while protecting the company's commercial, legal and risk interests.

The ideal candidate is based in the US Eastern time zone and brings a background in commercial operations, deal desk, procurement, or legal practice, with deep experience in contract negotiation and drafting. This person will partner directly with the Chief Procurement and Commercial Operations Officer (CPCOO) to drive customer contracting strategy and support the full commercial lifecycle from initial engagement through contract execution.

This is a fully remote, individual contributor role that operates with significant autonomy. The person in this role will:

• Lead customer contract negotiations.
• Manage NDAs.
• Complete customer onboarding processes (representing Evolver as vendor to its customers).
• Support RFP/RFI response processes.
• Provide input to product and engineering teams on Evolver's procurement products and internally built commercial operations tools.

Success requires comfort operating in ambiguity, strong contractual judgment, and the ability to balance commercial objectives against legal and operational risk. Occasional travel for team meetings and customer engagements is expected.

Qualifications

• 10 - 15 years of experience in commercial operations, contract management, deal desk, procurement, or legal roles, with strong exposure to customer contracting and negotiation.
• Demonstrated experience negotiating and redlining commercial agreements (MSAs, SOWs, order forms).
• Experience supporting or leading vendor onboarding processes, including responding to customer due diligence and security questionnaires.
• Proven track record supporting RFP/RFI processes, including proposal coordination and submission or managing RFPs from a procurement perspective.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, high-growth, or rapidly evolving environments.
• Experience engaging with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.

Requirements

• Strong contractual and negotiation judgment, with the ability to balance commercial objectives and risk in a fast-paced, rapidly scaling environment.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple contracts and deal processes simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to operate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
• Comfortable working independently as an individual contributor with significant autonomy.
• Technology-forward mindset with a willingness to work closely with product and engineering teams to shape internal tools.
• Willingness to travel occasionally for team meetings and customer engagements.

Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: Tailored to your experience and skill set.
• Flexible Work Arrangements: Fully remote working model for work-life balance.
• Career Growth: Opportunities for professional development and leadership roles.
• Innovative Culture: Work on transformative technologies and make an impact in the AI space.
