NDA Contract Specialist

Overview

This role is an independent contractor position within the outsourcing department, reporting to the Manager, Senior Review Team. Work is 100% remote with working hours on Eastern Standard Time (EST).

The role involves taking ownership of the final quality of contracts before they are submitted, reviewing a high-volume pipeline within firm turnaround windows. You will work alongside an AI-assisted first pass, applying legal judgment against the client’s playbook, and escalating issues outside established guidance to quality control for final sign-off.

Responsibilities

• Perform initial review of a high-volume pipeline of commercial agreements, specifically NDAs, master services agreements, and vendor arrangements, ensuring rapid turnaround and strict adherence to client-specific playbooks.
• Review AI-generated first-pass markups as a starting point, verifying and correcting work as needed; final decisions must be based on your own legal judgment.
• Apply legal playbooks accurately and consistently, escalating any items outside established guidance to quality control rather than deciding independently.
• Identify and flag confidentiality and commercial risks within standard transactions, including spotting non-standard terms before they reach quality control.
• Maintain accurate ticket status and ensure clean handoffs across shifts to keep turnaround on track for the next reviewer or QC.
• Manage a demanding, high-volume queue in a fast-paced review environment, delivering accuracy without sacrificing turnaround speed.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in legal contract review, including hands-on NDA review under US or UK law.
• Interest in AI and legal technology, including daily, hands-on use of AI tools in your own legal work and comfort working alongside AI as part of your process.
• Strong background in high-volume commercial contract review environments.
• Demonstrated ability to work accurately from detailed legal playbooks and client-specific instructions, escalating anything outside established guidance rather than deciding it independently.
• Ability to operate independently in a 100% remote environment on a fixed schedule.
• Fluent in both written and spoken legal English, with a strong command of legal terminology and language.

Preferred Qualifications

• LL.M. from a U.S. or UK institution (preferred, but not required).
