Job Description
Contracts Associate
Percona
Role Description Are you passionate about solving puzzles, learning fast, and building expertise where business, technology, and legal operations meet? This is a role designed for someone who is naturally curious, loves to untangle problems, and wants to build deep expertise at the intersection of law, business, and operations. You need 1-3 years of contracts experience — you need a sharp mind, an eye for detail, and a real appetite to learn. You'll also become fluent in what Percona actually sells: our expert consulting, support, and managed services across MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB. Understanding our products is what makes the rest of the work click into place. As a Contracts Associate, you'll step into the dynamic intersection of law and business, where no two days look quite the same. You'll work alongside a small but talented team that will invest in your development from day one. Every contract is a new puzzle, and every puzzle is a chance to grow. This role is perfect for someone who is energized by figuring out how things work, asking good questions, and finding cleaner ways to do them. - Learn to Draft and Refine: You'll prepare, send, and help negotiate contracts — updating language for clarity and relevance using modern tools like Salesforce, Ironclad and AI. - Get the Quote Right: Verify that quotes accurately reflect what the customer is buying. - Learn Our Products: Build a working knowledge of Percona's expert consulting, support tiers, and managed services. - Collaborate and Problem-Solve: Partner with internal teams and customers to build your negotiation skills. - Dig Into the Details: Review red-lined agreements, spot issues, and propose solutions. - Support the Company's Work: Help respond to RFPs, vendor forms, questionnaires, and document requests. - Communicate Clearly: Explain terms and make recommendations to internal stakeholders and external partners. - Global Team Support: Help cover time-sensitive requests across time zones during teammate absences or busy periods. - Grow Into Deals Desk: Support the Sales, Finance, Legal, Customer Success, and Services teams as they move complex deals from quote to close. Qualifications - 1-3 years of hands-on experience reviewing, drafting, or managing contracts. - A Bachelor's degree in business, English, philosophy, political science, pre-law, or any field that sharpened how you think and write. - Demonstrated attention to detail through your contracts experience. - Strong written and verbal English communication skills. - A problem-solving mindset. - Intellectual curiosity. - Comfort with technology and hands-on experience with business tools. Requirements - Direct experience in legal, paralegal, contracts, deals desk, operations, finance, or any role requiring meticulous review of commercial documents. - Coursework or independent reading in contracts, business law, or commercial transactions. - Examples of process improvement. - Experience working independently or in a remote setting. - Strong interpersonal skills and good judgment in ambiguous situations. Benefits - Hands-on mentorship from experienced professionals. - A clearly defined growth path into contract negotiation, deals desk, and beyond. - Work with global experts who thrive on solving complex problems. - A remote-first culture that values balance and autonomy. - Ongoing investment in your learning and career development.
