- Professional services agreements and SOWs (consulting/agencies/contractors)
- Amendments, renewals, and related pre-contract documentation
- Issue-spot and escalate payment method/terms, privacy, data protection, security, and IP risks in vendor and services engagements, including where contracts involve personal data, confidential information, model training data, data transfers, subprocessors, or access to Toloka systems; coordinate DPAs/security terms with relevant stakeholders.
- Provide clear, practical advice on risk allocation and contract positions, including liability caps, indemnities, warranties, IP ownership/licensing, confidentiality, data security/privacy, audit rights, and termination.
- Partner closely with procurement, product, and finance to move vendor engagements forward efficiently, supporting commercial alignment, timelines, and internal approvals.
- Maintain and continuously improve templates.
Key Qualifications
- English: native-level or near-native professional fluency.
- 3+ years of experience as a contract analyst, contract manager, or similar role handling commercial contracts.

- Excellent attention to detail and strong organizational skills; able to manage multiple contracts and deadlines simultaneously.
- Prior experience as a "power user" or system administrator for a CLM, CRM, or finance platform.
- Strong foundation in EU/US/UK contracting principles and ability to apply them pragmatically in a business setting.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain legal concepts in clear, business-friendly terms.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities under tight timelines.
