Want to join the leader in AI-powered data security? 

At Cohesity, we offer an extraordinary opportunity for professional growth and development. As a Contract Manager, you will have the chance to work alongside an elite legal team, to keep the systems, processes, playbooks, and templates that power our legal work running smoothly and getting better over time. Your day-to-day will span infrastructure management, hands-on administration of our contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform, and data and reporting. You’ll bring a strong understanding of how legal documents work and how legal departments operate, and you’ll be the kind of person who naturally connects with stakeholders, juggles competing priorities, solves problems by digging in, and shows up consistently for the team.

HOW YOU’LL SPEND YOUR TIME HERE:

• Own the day-to-day administration of our CLM platform end to end, keeping it running smoothly and supporting the team in everything they do inside it.
• Keep the Transaction Legal Group informed and equipped through Team Enablement — sharing knowledge around system changes, rolling out new processes, and providing the training and documentation our teams need to work confidently with the tools and workflows they depend on every day.
• Stay curious about AI and how it can enhance the way we work, bringing your own experience and ideas to the team.
• Streamline how contracts move through our processes, and help make sure things stay consistent and compliant across our commercial legal work.
• Write clear process documentation, from a quick how-to to a detailed playbook, so our teams always have something solid to lean on.
• Plan, track, and manage projects within the Transaction Legal Group, keeping work moving on schedule and stakeholders in the loop.
• Help maintain the Transaction Legal Group's SharePoint site, intranet presence, and other external-facing legal touchpoints, making sure information stays organized, accessible, and current.
• Translate legal and business concepts for non-Legal teams in a way that makes sense, coordinating with internal customers thoughtfully and using good judgment to prioritize and escalate when needed.
• Pull together the data and reports that support leadership meetings and the Quarterly Board Report (QBR), making sure decision-makers have what they need to act.
• Read and analyze legal documents with a solid understanding of how the legal department operates, with some light drafting, review, and redlining as part of the mix.
• Show up consistently with the day-to-day support that keeps our commercial legal processes running smoothly.
• Bring an analytical eye to operational challenges, spotting where things can be better and making them better.
• Adapts working style to support international business needs and stakeholders across different time zones

WE'D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU HAVE MANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

• Bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies, Business Administration, or a related field — or equivalent experience.
• 5-7 years in contract management or a similar role within a legal department.
• Hands-on experience with CLM platforms and legal technology tools.

• Reporting and data analytics experience.
• Ability to handle and prioritize multiple work streams and manage time efficiently.
• Enjoy working in a fast-paced and changing environment.
• Hands-on/Quick learner who brings flexibility, curiosity, and initiative to their role.
