Senior Contracts Manager & Legal Operations Specialist

Taktile is looking for an experienced Senior Contracts Manager & Legal Operations Specialist to build and own our contracts function from the ground up. You'll serve as the primary legal point of contact, handling day-to-day contracting while creating the systems and processes that scale our legal operations efficiently.

You'll independently manage a wide range of agreements-NDAs, vendor contracts, sales agreements, DPAs, and amendments-while knowing when to bring in our fractional General Counsels for more complex matters. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys solving problems pragmatically, and can balance legal precision with business needs.

What You'll Do

• Lead drafting, review, and negotiation of standard commercial agreements
• Support global sales teams with practical, timely contract guidance
• Build and optimize legal infrastructure including templates, workflows, and automation
• Implement scalable contract management systems and self-service tools
• Triage and prepare complex issues for fractional GC review to maximize efficiency
• Maintain contract compliance, version control, and lifecycle tracking

What You Bring

• 8+ years of contracts or legal operations experience, ideally in SaaS or technology
• Proven ability to negotiate and execute contracts independently
• Experience supporting global teams and building legal processes from scratch
• Strong commercial judgment, communication skills, and attention to detail
• Proficiency with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and DocuSign
• You're pragmatic, self-sufficient, and know how to design processes that empower teams and keep the business moving with confidence.

Our Offer

• Work on hard, meaningful problems with real-world impact.
• Receive top-of-market equity and cash compensation.
• Get access to a self-development budget that you can use to e.g. attend conferences, buy books or take classes.
• Join us onsite in our inspiring office spaces in the heart of Berlin, London or New York and travel to annual company-wide meetings around the world.
• Experience a truly flat hierarchy. Interact with and learn directly from founding team members. Having an opinion and voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo.
• Use the equipment of your choice including a meaningful home office set-up.

Our Stance

• We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply
• We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won't inquire about how you identify or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears
