Role Overview:
We are hiring a Commercial Operations Contract Lead to drive customer contracting, customer onboarding, and NDA management as we scale Evolver 's customer base.

The person in this role will lead customer contract negotiations, manage NDAs, and complete customer onboarding processes (representing Evolver as vendor to its customers), support RFP/RFI response processes, and provide input to product and engineering teams on Evolver 's procurement products and internally built commercial operations tools. Success requires comfort operating in ambiguity, strong contractual judgment, and the ability to balance commercial objectives against legal and operational risk.
