About the Role:

As part of our strong year-on-year growth trajectory, we are looking for a Legal Analyst to join our growing Legal function. In this role, you will focus on reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts (including Master Service Agreements, Non‑Disclosure Agreements, Data Protection Agreements) and strengthening our client onboarding and internal legal workflows.


You’ll work closely with Sales, Compliance, Finance, and Client Delivery to ensure that NewtonX’s contractual obligations, data protection commitments, and client compliance requirements are understood, documented, and operationalized. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys detailed contract work, building scalable processes, and collaborating across teams.


In this role you will:

  • Review, redline, and help negotiate client contracts, including:

    • Master Service Agreements (MSAs)

    • Non‑Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)

    • Data Protection / Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)

    • Statements of Work (SOWs), order forms, and amendments, as needed

  • Apply NewtonX’s contract playbook and FAQs to client paper and internal templates, ensuring consistent positions on key provisions (e.g., indemnity, limitation of liability, IP, confidentiality, governing law, data security).

  • Support and improve the client onboarding process by:

    • Communicating with clients and their legal teams

    • Ensuring executed contracts and key terms are properly stored and surfaced for internal teams

    • Identifying bottlenecks and proposing concrete workflow changes (e.g., templates, checklists, approval paths)

  • Collaborate on the transition to, and optimization of, our contract tooling (e.g., CLM / Ironclad), helping to configure playbooks, workflows, and templates that reflect NewtonX’s risk standards and business needs.

  • Spot and escalate non‑standard or higher‑risk terms (for example, unusual indemnities, regulatory commitments, or broad security/privacy obligations) to senior legal, NewtonX-leaders, or external counsel with clear, written summaries and recommendations.

  • Partner with Compliance to align contract language with:

    • MNPI / insider‑trading controls for investor clients

    • Expert network compliance guidelines

    • Data protection and privacy policies (e.g., SOC 2, GDPR‑aligned practices)

  • Continuously improve internal processes, such as:

    • Standardizing contract review checklists and comment styles

    • Documenting “playbook” positions and edge‑case decisions

    • Creating or refining internal guides for Sales and Client Delivery on when/how to involve Legal & Compliance

  • Contribute to cross‑functional projects that intersect contracts and client onboarding


Who you are:

We are looking for a motivated and organized individual with experience reviewing commercial contracts who wants to be part of a dynamic, high-growth start-up.

  • 2+ years of work experience reviewing and redlining commercial contracts

  • Organized, process-driven, results-oriented

  • Fast learner and adaptable to feedback as well as to change

  • Comfortable with deadlines and works well under pressure

  • A creative problem-solver, can think outside the box and support your team in doing the same

  • Inquisitive about the law, business, and regulations

  • Excellent communicator and a clear writer

  • Proficient with Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, etc) and Excel, tech savvy

  • Independent and efficient in your work, while being team oriented and collaborative

  • Have a bachelor's degree or greater


Bonus points if you:

  • Have experience in B2B or SaaS industry

  • Have experience working with Ironclad
