Our take: The real work here is negotiating complex commercial and government contracts, spotting risk early, and building the templates and guidance that help sales teams move fast while staying compliant.
If you love turning tangled commercial and public sector deals into clear, defensible terms that let a business move faster, this role gives you real ownership of high stakes contracts. You will be the trusted advisor sales teams call, building the templates and playbooks that make good decisions repeatable, all from a fully remote, globally distributed team. It suits someone who finds satisfaction in spotting risk early and giving practical, business-focused guidance that people actually use.
