Role

Who you are

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys solving problems pragmatically, and can balance legal precision with business needs
8+ years of contracts or legal operations experience, ideally in SaaS or technology
Proven ability to negotiate and execute contracts independently
Experience supporting global teams and building legal processes from scratch
Strong commercial judgment, communication skills, and attention to detail
Proficiency with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and DocuSign
You’re pragmatic, self-sufficient, and know how to design processes that empower teams and keep the business moving with confidence
We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply

What the job involves

Taktile is looking for an experienced Senior Contracts Manager & Legal Operations Specialist to build and own our contracts function from the ground up
You’ll serve as the primary legal point of contact, handling day-to-day contracting while creating the systems and processes that scale our legal operations efficiently
You’ll independently manage a wide range of agreements—NDAs, vendor contracts, sales agreements, DPAs, and amendments—while knowing when to bring in our fractional General Counsels for more complex matters
Lead drafting, review, and negotiation of standard commercial agreements
Support global sales teams with practical, timely contract guidance
Build and optimize legal infrastructure including templates, workflows, and automation
Implement scalable contract management systems and self-service tools
Triage and prepare complex issues for fractional GC review to maximize efficiency
Maintain contract compliance, version control, and lifecycle tracking

Our take

Taktile’s goal is to enable financial services enterprises to adopt machine learning (ML) technology and deliver ML applications. Whilst ML may seem old news, these businesses have been slow to adopt it due to a shortage of expertise, IT resources and regulatory freedom.

This means that the wealth of data at their fingertips tends to go underutilised. With Taktile, these organisations can easily deploy, maintain, and monitor ML applications on a single platform, finally putting crucial ML tools in the hands of enterprise level businesses.

Taktile has inspired impressive confidence in some high-profile backers, including Y Combinator, and the founders of industry behemoths like Datadog and Github. With platforms like Taktile's playing a facilitating role in the AI revolution of financial services, the road ahead should provide ample opportunity for innovation and growth.
