The role owns contract validation, improves contract templates, advises teams during negotiations, participates directly in contractual discussions when needed, and coordinates external / local counsel.\nThe role is both operational and strategic: helping the business move fast, while making sure legal risks are understood, mitigated and documented.\nWhat you’ll do\nContract validation\nReview, analyze and validate contracts before signature.\nIdentify legal, commercial and operational risks in customer, partner and supplier contracts.\nPropose pragmatic amendments that protect Bigblue without unnecessarily slowing down business.\nPrioritize contract reviews based on risk level, business urgency, deal value and negotiation complexity.\nEnsure contracts comply with Bigblue's internal standards, approval rules and commercial positioning.\nEscalate sensitive or high-risk topics to the relevant stakeholders with clear recommendations.\n3PL & fulfillment agreements\nOwn the drafting, review and negotiation of agreements with 3PL partners, warehouses, carriers and other logistics suppliers, as our network expands across countries.\nEnsure back-to-back consistency between merchant commitments (SLA, liability, penalties) and 3PL / supplier commitments.\nSupport Operations and Finance on disputes, claims and liability topics with logistics partners.\nExisting merchant base & disputes\nHandle legal issues with existing merchants over the life of the contract: claims, disputes, terminations, renewals and sensitive churn negotiations.\nContract templates & legal documentation\nOwn and maintain Bigblue's standard contract templates across all countries.\nKeep templates up to date with changes to Bigblue's offer, pricing, operating model, product scope and markets.\nStandardize key clauses to make negotiations faster and more consistent.\nBuild a negotiation playbook for recurring clauses, with fall-back positions and clear rules on what can be accepted, what needs approval and what must be refused.\nCreate FAQs and examples so teams can handle recurring negotiation topics on their own.\nKeep improving templates, playbooks and FAQs based on what comes up in negotiations.\nContractual negotiations\nSupport teams involved in negotiations (Sales, Partnerships, Merchants, Leadership) by answering their legal and contractual questions and giving them clear arguments to defend Bigblue's position.\nExplain the business impact of key clauses such as liability, SLA, termination, payment terms, data protection, operational commitments and exclusivity.\nLead or join negotiations that are complex, strategic or high-risk, working directly with clients' and partners' legal, procurement and business teams.\nHelp Sales and Leadership prepare the negotiation strategy for complex or high-value deals.\nUnblock negotiations with balanced, business-minded solutions that protect Bigblue's interests without hurting the commercial relationship.\nCross-functional legal business partnering\nAct as the legal business partner for Sales, Partnerships, RevOps, Finance, Customer Success and Operations, turning legal concepts into simple, actionable guidance.\nWith Finance: payment terms, invoicing, liability exposure and commercial commitments.\nWith Operations: operational obligations, service levels, logistics constraints, 3PL partners and client commitments.\nWith RevOps and Sales leadership: build legal steps into commercial workflows and make sure templates work in practice.\nImprove the contract review process to cut delays and make ownership clear, including when to involve Legal and what information to send for a fast review.\nTrain teams on common contractual topics and negotiation guardrails.\n\nWho you are\nExperience: Min 5+ years in commercial legal, business law, contract management or a similar role, ideally in-house in a fast-growing B2B company.\nContract expertise: Strong experience reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts.\nCommercial negotiation: Ability to support and lead commercial negotiations on sales contracts.\nBusiness acumen: Ability to balance legal protection with commercial speed and pragmatism.\nNegotiation support: Able to lead complex negotiations on your own, advise business teams and deal directly with external legal, procurement and business counterparts.\nStakeholder management: Ability to work with Sales, Partnerships, Customer Success, Finance, RevOps, Operations and Leadership.\nDocumentation skills: Ability to create templates, playbooks, FAQs and clear guidelines.\nCommercial mindset: Understands deal dynamics and knows how to support revenue growth without compromising critical protections.\nOperational understanding: Able to connect contractual commitments with operational feasibility.\nSystems thinking: Ability to turn recurring legal questions into scalable templates, guidelines and processes.\nPedagogy: Enjoys helping teams understand legal topics and become more autonomous.\nBusiness pragmatism: Entrepreneurial mindset with a sense of measured risk. You can separate critical risks from secondary points and protect Bigblue without slowing revenue growth.\n Languages: Fluent French and English.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6217,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"French","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["E-commerce Platforms","Logistics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T17:01:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":95,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.946,"p_room":1,"age_days":13,"expected_fill_days":96,"reasons":["seen:13","urgency","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":85712,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bigblue-legal-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bigblue-legal-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T20:39:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16413,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":172846},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=172846"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbigblue-legal-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbigblue-legal-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbigblue-legal-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bigblue-legal-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbigblue-legal-manager"}]}
