[Hiring] Senior Contracts Manager @Supabase

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Contracts Manager to take ownership of vendor contracting at Supabase. You will be the go-to contracts partner for everything we buy. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role with real ownership, for an experienced negotiator who takes pride in making procurement faster while managing risk. You will negotiate directly, build the playbooks and workflows that let the business self-serve on low-risk deals, and escalate the right issues to Legal at the right time. We work AI-first in Legal: you will use Claude and Ironclad every day to move faster and with greater accuracy. Your work will shape how procurement and vendor contracting scale as Supabase grows.

• Serve as the single point of contact for all vendor contracting matters raised by:

  • Security
  • Business owners
• Apply and further build out our playbook and risk framework independently, escalating to the Assistant General Counsel, Commercial where necessary.
• Negotiate data, privacy, and security terms within the Security team’s playbook.
• Review AI vendor terms, such as training on our data, output ownership, and model changes.
• Build and scale vendor contracting operations:
  • Build out and maintain our vendor playbook in Claude.
  • Design and improve intake, triage, and approval workflows with FinOps.
  • Own the vendor and procurement workflow in Ironclad.
  • Create training and self-serve resources for business partners.

Qualifications

• 6 to 8+ years of experience negotiating procurement, vendor, or technology transactions contracting, ideally buy-side at a U.S. SaaS or technology company.

• Experience designing contracting processes that are consistent, transparent, and easy for the business to follow.
• Clear writing and speaking, with the ability to explain legal and commercial risk plainly.
• Comfort using AI tools, particularly Claude.

Requirements

• A degree in a relevant field (for example, law, economics, or political science).
• Sell-side experience negotiating customer, partner, or reseller agreements for a SaaS or technology company.
• Hands-on experience with Ironclad or a similar CLM tool.
