Job Description

The Opportunity

Postman's commercial business is scaling quickly across enterprise and mid-market segments, and the volume and complexity of the company's contracting work is growing with it. As Contracts Manager, you will own the operational engine that keeps Postman's commercial deals moving, from contract intake and template management through signature and execution.

Reporting to the Managing Counsel, Commercial, you will manage Postman's contract lifecycle management platform (Ironclad), build and maintain the templates, playbooks, and documentation that the Legal and GTM teams rely on, and directly support high-volume commercial transactions by handling routine agreements and coordinating signature workflows. You will work closely with Deal Operations, Finance, Sales, and your Legal teammates to ensure that contracts are executed accurately, on time, and in a way that scales. You’ll also build processes and systems that work at today's volume and scale to support the next stage of Postman's growth. This role is equal parts systems thinking, process discipline, and cross-functional coordination.
