Why This Role

Youll work directly with Builts Head of Legal Risk & Compliance with real ownership over a meaningful slice of the companys commercial portfolio from day one. Builts legal team has built an unusually high level of trust across the organization; this isnt an order-taking function.

• Real ownership. Youll manage a meaningful contract portfolio autonomously not as a support function.
• Cross-functional exposure. Youll work across Sales RevOps Product Finance and Legal and be trusted by all of them.
• Industry depth. Fintech and construction finance contracting is genuinely complex and expertise in it is valuable.
• Growth path. For a high performer theres a clear trajectory toward senior contract management or legal operations leadership as the function scales.
