Contracts Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "The Role" and "Key responsibilities", "The Ideal Candidate", "We offer a competitive compensation package...". Also "About Scale Microgrids", "About EQT". We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to map content. We have: - About the role: The first paragraph "The Role We’re looking for a commercial Contracts Manager..." could be considered "About the role". So we can have

About the role

with a paragraph summarizing. - Responsibilities: The list after "Key responsibilities will include:" with bullet points. So we can have

Responsibilities

with

• each bullet. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "Ideal Candidate" section includes many items: Bachelor’s degree required; 3+ years of relevant experience; Legal training or paralegal/JD background is a plus; Demonstrated success leading customer-facing negotiations; Strong deal-structuring instincts; Quick study with numbers; Experience with PPAs, ESAs, leases; Strong contract drafting acumen; Detail- and process-oriented; Preference for individuals with experience performing or managing buy-side diligence activities; Experience preparing PPAs, ESAs, M&A transaction agreements; Self-driven, entrepreneurial; thrives in fast-paced environment. Also mention hybrid schedule? Actually schedule is mentioned earlier: "You will report to our Senior Contracts Manager and work a hybrid schedule from our HQ in Ridgewood, NJ, our NYC office near Union Square, or our Santa Monica Office." That's schedule info. So we need a Schedule section if posting actually states it. Yes it does: hybrid schedule from those offices. So we can have

  Schedule

  with paragraph. - Benefits: "We offer a competitive compensation package and a comprehensive benefits program including medical benefits, paid vacation and holidays, and 401K matching." That's benefits. Also maybe compensation? It says competitive compensation package but no specific pay. We should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not give specific pay, just says competitive compensation package. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits (medical, paid vacation, holidays, 401K matching). So we can have Benefits section. Pay section not allowed because no specific pay. - About Scale Microgrids and About EQT: Those are company description. Could be under "About the company" but not in prescribed headings. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not add other headings. However we could incorporate that info into About the role or maybe a separate section not allowed? The instruction: "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should likely stick to those. It also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine company description into About the role or maybe a separate "About the company" but that's not in list; better to avoid extra headings. Could put that info in a paragraph under About the role or maybe under a generic

  without heading? The instruction: "Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." It didn't forbid other headings, but said use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add About Scale Microgrids heading. We can incorporate that info into About the role paragraph or maybe a separate

  without heading after About the role? But that might be considered stray content. Better to incorporate into About the role. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Ideal Candidate items), Benefits, Schedule. Could also have Qualifications and Skills separate but we can combine into Requirements. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule. Now we need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities and ideal candidate. Also include hybrid schedule details. Include benefits details. Include company description? That is substantive; we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit About Scale Microgrids and About EQT, we would be losing substantive info. So we need to include them somewhere. Perhaps we can add a section "About the company" but not in allowed headings. However the instruction says "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not an exclusive list. So we can use other headings as long as they are

  . But they gave examples of typical sections. It didn't forbid other headings. So we can add

  About Scale Microgrids

  and

  About EQT

  . That would preserve info. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding two more sections may be okay if they are substantive. But we could combine them into one "About the company" section. That would be fewer sections. Let's do

  About the company

  and include both Scale Microgrids and EQT descriptions. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule, About the company. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, AI tools, etc. Remove those. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, scam-warning, application instructions. The posting includes EEO paragraph and AI tools paragraph at end. We must remove them. Also remove "The Role We’re looking for..." heading? We'll convert to About the role. Now let's extract content. **About the role**: The first paragraph: "We’re looking for a commercial Contracts Manager to manage deals through their full life cycle, from customer-facing negotiation through contract execution and ongoing compliance. You will structure and negotiate commercial agreements based on our established corporate standards, project manage the contracting process alongside our business development and project management teams, and serve as a relationship-savvy point of contact for customers and partners. You will also provide hands-on due diligence support for our acquisition activities. You will report to our Senior Contracts Manager and work a hybrid schedule from our HQ in Ridgewood, NJ, our NYC office near Union Square, or our Santa Monica Office." Note: The hybrid schedule mention belongs to Schedule section, but it's also in this paragraph. We could keep it in About the role but then duplicate. Better to keep schedule info in Schedule section and remove from About the role to avoid duplication. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep it in Schedule section and not duplicate. So we can omit the hybrid schedule sentence from About the role. But we need to ensure we don't lose that info; we will put it in Schedule. Thus About the role paragraph: "We’re looking for a commercial Contracts Manager to manage deals through their full life cycle, from customer-facing negotiation through contract execution and ongoing compliance. You will structure and negotiate commercial agreements based on our established corporate standards, project manage the contracting process alongside our business development and project management teams, and serve as a relationship-savvy point of contact for customers and partners. You will also provide hands-on due diligence support for our acquisition activities. You will report to our Senior Contracts Manager." **Responsibilities**: List after "Key responsibilities will include:" each bullet. Let's capture them exactly: - Serve as a customer-facing lead on commercial negotiations based on our playbooks, structuring deal terms that balance customer needs with our commercial and risk objectives; - Manage the end-to-end contracting process from initial deal structuring through negotiation, redlines, signature, and post-execution administration while keeping deals on schedule; - Manage standard form agreements and continually propose and incorporate feedback to improve standard templates and risk allocations; - Support the commercialization and standardization of new products; - Prepare standard form and customized agreements for customers, partners, and vendors as needed to support day-to-day operations; - Analyze third-party paper against our standard commercial positions to identify and resolve material commercial inconsistencies; - Exercise sound judgment about when to resolve an issue directly and when to escalate to legal counsel or management, incorporating their input as appropriate; - Build working familiarity with project cost models and deal economics to negotiate scope, milestones, and risk allocation knowledgeably; - Manage our contracts database, including monitoring existing agreements for conformance with budget, deadlines, performance obligations, customer service, and renewal/expiration dates; - Support our project management and business development teams in clearing conditions to our obligations and complying with the terms of our agreements; - Manage the signature collection process and timely satisfaction of any approvals or conditions precedent; - Ensure company-wide compliance with Scale’s internal approval processes; - Manage the legal and regulatory diligence process for purchasing, selling, and/or financing of distributed energy projects and portfolios Note each ends with semicolon; we can keep as list items. **Requirements** (Ideal Candidate): Let's capture bullet points: - Bachelor’s degree required; - 3+ years of relevant experience; - Legal training or a paralegal/JD background is a plus, but we’re looking for someone whose primary orientation is commercial rather than legal; - Demonstrated success leading customer-facing negotiations and managing projects successfully and on time; - Strong deal-structuring instincts — comfortable shaping and proposing commercial terms, not just reviewing them; - Quick study with numbers; able to get up to speed on cost models and deal economics without a finance background; - Experience with power purchase agreements, energy services agreements, leases, or similar commercial agreements in distributed energy, real estate, or a related industry preferred; - Strong contract drafting acumen; - Detail- and process-oriented, with a history of building or improving contract and deal-management workflows, balancing speed and agility with internal controls and risk management; - Preference for individuals with experience performing or managing buy-side diligence activities; - Experience preparing power purchase agreements, energy services agreements, M&A transaction agreements, or similar agreements within the distributed energy industry preferred; - Self-driven, entrepreneurial in nature; willing to step outside of role where needed to support the company’s needs; thrives in a fast-paced environment; - This is a great opportunity to have a long-term impact on a fast-paced, private equity-backed growth business. (This is more about opportunity, maybe not requirement but we can keep as part of Ideal Candidate? It's a statement about opportunity; we could include in About the role or separate but we can keep as paragraph after list.) - Some of the core virtues embraced by Scales’ employees include: Do the Right Thing Act Like an Owner Hustle Demand Results Go Together Evolve or Disappear We need to preserve all substantive info. The virtues list is part of Ideal Candidate? It appears after the opportunity sentence. We'll keep as a paragraph. **Benefits**: "We offer a competitive compensation package and a comprehensive benefits program including medical benefits, paid vacation and holidays, and 401K matching." We should not include compensation package details beyond that. So Benefits section: medical benefits, paid vacation and holidays, 401K matching. **Schedule**: "You will report to our Senior Contracts Manager and work a hybrid schedule from our HQ in Ridgewood, NJ, our NYC office near Union Square, or our Santa Monica Office." Actually the reporting line is also in About the role; we moved reporting line to About the role. But schedule is hybrid schedule from those offices. So Schedule section: hybrid schedule from HQ in Ridgewood, NJ, NYC office near Union Square, or Santa Monica
