Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. That's why people
love us.
We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies.
Metabase’s BizOps & Finance team is a small, high-leverage group that builds the systems keeping the company running smoothly behind the scenes. We cover a wide range of areas — finance and accounting, sales operations, legal operations, compliance, and account management — but we treat them all as flavors of operations. Whatever the task, we take a systems-driven approach — design it, build it, and run it (ideally, automatically). Our goal is to free the rest of the company to focus on building great software.
We’re looking for a high-powered generalist with strong verbal and analytical reasoning skills to own and run our commercial operations. In this role, you’ll be responsible for the systems and processes that underpin how we contract with customers and manage commercial risk, helping us close deals efficiently and serve a broader range of customers. You’ll manage contracting and organize our contract data to enable automation between systems. You’ll partner closely with internal teams and external counsel to make business decisions on risk, and lead key compliance initiatives, translating complex requirements into practical, scalable processes. This role is well-suited to someone who is comfortable moving between big-picture thinking and detailed execution, and who enjoys turning ambiguous problems into working systems.
Responsibilities
Partner with external counsel and our Sales team to identify and mitigate business risks during contract reviews
Maintain and update contract templates, terms of service, privacy policies, and related documents
Improve and maintain systems that support our commercial operations (e.g. routing contract reviews, implementing and building-out our contract management system)
Structure and maintain contractual data flows to ensure key contract data is captured consistently and can support downstream automation and reporting
Drive compliance-enhancement projects to reduce risk and expand our ability to serve regulated and enterprise customers.
Note that this is not a people-management role
