Roblox is seeking a collaborative, service-minded Senior Commercial Contracts Manager to draft and negotiate NDAs and SOWs and to help improve how the business submits contracts to Legal. This role reports to the Director, Commercial Contracts and focuses on drafting, contract lifecycle management (CLM) and process improvements. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including Finance, Security, and Privacy, and you may be the first and only point of contact many colleagues have with Legal, so strong soft skills are essential to your success.
You Will:
- Draft, redline, and execute NDAs and SOWs using approved templates, playbooks, and fallback positions, escalating to attorneys when needed.
- Partner with cross-functional teams including Finance, Security, and Privacy to gather approvals, streamline the contract submission process, and remove bottlenecks for clients.
- Collaborate seamlessly across internal company divisions (such as Engineering, Infrastructure, Marketing, and People Ops) and engage with internal partners from frontline support and EAs to C-level executives setting clear expectations and keeping them informed.
- Manage the contract lifecycle through DocuSign, run related-party and export control checks, and maintain the contract repository and templates.
- Partner with Legal Ops to scope and build AI Agents that automate contract intake, review and search.
You Have:
- Bachelor’s degree, paralegal certificate or equivalent practical experience.
- 5+ years drafting and negotiating commercial contracts (NDAs, SOWs) in a corporate legal or tech environment, with sound judgment about when to escalate.
- Hands-on experience with CLM and intake tools (such as Zip, DocuSign, and Glean) and a track record of improving contracting workflows.
- Experience with AI or automation tools (such as Claude or GC-AI).
- Working knowledge of privacy, data protection, and security considerations in commercial contracts.
You Are:
- Responsive, collaborative communicator with a strong customer-service orientation, who translates complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance for business partners and works effectively with minimal supervision.
- Detail-oriented, structured problem-solver who prioritizes effectively, moves efficiently from issue to resolution, and keeps work on track without losing sight of the end goal.
- Nimble, high-throughput contributor who excels at managing a steady influx of requests, applying quick-judgment, light-touch evaluations to unblock cross-functional partners efficiently.
- Curious, continuous learner who identifies opportunities to streamline workflows, reduce unnecessary friction, and improve operational efficiency.

About this role
Roblox is looking for a Senior Commercial Paralegal to manage the full lifecycle of commercial contracts—primarily NDAs and SOWs—while serving as a trusted legal resource across the organization. You'll draft and negotiate agreements using established templates and playbooks, escalate strategically to attorneys when needed, and work closely with Finance, Security, Privacy, and other business units to streamline how contracts move through the approval process. This role offers real visibility: you may be colleagues' first point of contact with Legal, so your ability to communicate clearly and build relationships across all levels—from frontline staff to executives—matters as much as your legal skills.
The position centers on process improvement and operational efficiency. You'll manage contracts through DocuSign, maintain the template repository, run compliance checks, and partner with Legal Ops to design and implement AI agents that automate intake, review, and search functions. Success requires five or more years of hands-on commercial contract experience in a corporate or tech setting, fluency with CLM and intake tools like Zip and DocuSign, and familiarity with AI automation. You should also bring working knowledge of privacy, data protection, and security considerations in commercial agreements.
This is an in-office role in San Mateo (three days per week onsite) paying $131,820 to $161,490 annually, plus equity and full benefits. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented and structured, comfortable managing high volume and making quick judgments to unblock partners, and genuinely curious about identifying workflow improvements and reducing friction across the business.
