Commercial Contracts Business Partner US

Amoria Group•Dallas, TX

About The Position

The Commercial Contracts Business Partner will join the Legal & Contracts team and take ownership of complex commercial contract negotiations across the consultancy business as it grows in the US and international markets. This is an individual-contributor position with autonomy and close partnership with Sales and wider business teams. It is not a lawyer, attorney, or paralegal role; the focus is on managing and negotiating contracts from commercial and operational perspectives, understanding their practical effects on financial exposure, service delivery, insurance, payment terms, and operational responsibilities. The role leads negotiations on complex client agreements, reviews and negotiates Statements of Work and service-based agreements, and assesses contractual risks and the practical and financial implications of commitments before signature. It also negotiates with EOR, payroll, and other third-party providers; works with insurance brokers and internal teams; supports commercial disputes; and helps improve contracting processes as the consultancy business scales internationally.
