The Role

We’re looking for a Contracting Manager who thrives on operational excellence and attention to detail. In this key role, you’ll manage the full lifecycle of customer contracts—from intake through invoicing—ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and alignment with our SaaS subscription model.

• Accurately create Sales Orders in NetSuite based on approved contracts

• Maintain clean and organized contract documentation and version control

• Coordinate across Sales, Implementation, Support, and Product teams to ensure deliverables align with contractual terms

• Monitor billing cycles and support accurate, on-time invoicing

• Identify and implement improvements in contract processes and tools

• Support international workflows and regional compliance needs

• Assist with renewals, amendments, and contract-related reporting and analysis

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience in a contract operations role, ideally in a SaaS environment

• Familiarity with SaaS business models, subscriptions, and contract structures

• Experience with ERP/CRM platforms—NetSuite expertise highly preferred

• Understanding of international SaaS billing and contract processes (a plus)

• High attention to detail in managing documentation and data

• Experience working with global, cross-functional teams

• Clear and professional communication skills, especially via email

• Fluent in English; German fluency is a strong plus
