About The Position

The Commercial Contracts Specialist serves as the primary commercial resource for Enable’s sales team and the company’s front line for legal intake and triage. The role drafts, reviews, redlines, and negotiates customer and vendor agreements to keep deals moving while managing commercial and contractual risk.
