You could be a recruiting coordinator anywhere. Why Jerry.ai?
Join a pre-IPO startup with capital, traction, and runway: We are tackling a $2T market, have $240M in funding, 60X revenue growth, and we’re profitable.
Launch your career in recruiting. We’re committed to mentoring and promoting high performers into Recruiter or Sourcer roles as you learn our hiring bar and how the business runs.
You’ll build, not just execute. You’ll run scheduling and logistics, but you’ll also have the autonomy to improve systems, fix bottlenecks, and make the whole team faster and more effective.
Why contract-to-perm?
At Jerry.ai, we move quickly and our hiring bar is high. We treat interview coordination like white-glove operations rather than just admin support. The contract phase (3 months) is a chance for both sides to see if we’re the right match. You’ll get a front-row seat to our "high ownership, high impact" culture. If you thrive on urgency and precision, the path to a permanent role here is clear.
About the opportunity:
You will be the operational backbone of our recruiting engine, owning the interview scheduling and logistics to make sure every candidate experiences a seamless, high-touch process end to end.
We’re looking for a high-velocity operator who doesn’t just execute tasks, but anticipates what’s next, removes friction before it appears, and helps the recruiting team move faster, smarter, and more effectively. You’ll act as a true force multiplier for our recruiting engine, your work will directly shape our ability to attract and hire top talent at Jerry.ai.
How you will make an impact:
Provide "white-glove" service to candidates by sending personalized pre-interview info and managing LinkedIn outreach
Manage the lifecycle of take-home assignments, maintain candidate profiles in Ashby ATS, and ensure all candidate documents are accessible to those who need them
Manage recruiter calendars with precision, rearranging interviews on the fly to prioritize high-impact candidates and maximize our daily capacity
Act as the point person for leadership’s urgent recruiting needs, whether it's updating compensation bands, posting new job reqs, or coordinating the training/shadowing of new interviewers
Who you are:
You can’t stand inefficiency: You’re always spotting ways to automate, streamline, and level-up how work gets done, and you enjoy turning messy processes into clean, scalable systems.
You have an intense sense of urgency: You don't wait for things to happen, you make them happen. You move quickly, close loops fast, and thrive in environments where priorities shift and speed matters.
Your attention to detail is impeccable: You catch the small things that others miss. Your written communication is clear, polished and professional, and you keep processes tight so nothing slips.
You are a proactive problem solver: You’re calm under pressure, and comfortable navigating ambiguity. You can handle high-stakes, time-sensitive requests from leadership without losing focus or pace.

Prior experience in a fast-growth startup or a high-volume agency environment is strongly preferred

About Jerry.ai
Jerry is building the first AI-powered advisor to manage all your physical assets.
Your car, home, and motorcycle aren't just purchases, they're the physical embodiment of the life you've worked hard to build. Yet the experience of owning them is stuck in the 90s. Every step of the journey — buying, insuring, maintaining, repairing, selling — is fragmented, complicated, and expensive.
Imagine having a trusted friend in your pocket who takes care of everything: they find you the right car or home at the right price, lock in the best insurance rate without you lifting a finger, remind you before that service appointment turns into an expensive repair, and help you sell at the best price when the time is right. That friend is Jerry.
We started with car insurance in 2019, became one of the top 3 brokers in the U.S., then added driving insights, diagnostics, and a repair marketplace. We've reached 5M+ customers, raised $240M+, and achieved profitability in 2024. We're now expanding into home, motorcycle, RV, and beyond.
Led by serial entrepreneurs and backed by Y Combinator, our team comprises talented and big-hearted leaders from places like Nvidia, Meta, Amazon, BCG, McKinsey, Bain, and GEICO. Our culture is the #1 reason people join Jerry and stay — we are a small and mighty team of competitive but kind people who think and act like owners, care deeply about the quality and impact of our work, and are relentless in our pursuit of learning and mastery over our craft.
We are proud to consistently rank as one of Y Combinator's Top Companies, Forbes and Statista's Best Startup Employers, and to have received other accolades in fintech and insurtech innovation, workplace culture, and leadership.
We support remote work for most roles, but if you prefer in-person or hybrid, we also have offices in Palo Alto, New York City, Chicago, and Toronto.

Tips for Your Contract Operations Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to contract lifecycle stages
Hiring managers for these roles scan for fluency across the full contract lifecycle, from drafting and negotiation through execution and renewal. Call out each stage explicitly in your bullets rather than listing contract management as a single skill.
Highlight clause-level negotiation experience
Generic operations experience won't separate you. Specify the contract types you've negotiated, such as MSAs, SOWs, or NDAs, and name the risk or liability clauses you pushed back on. Reviewers for these roles read for that level of detail.
Get a CLM tool on your resume before applying
Many postings screen for hands-on experience with a contract lifecycle management platform. If you've used Ironclad, Icertis, or a comparable system, name it explicitly in your skills section and describe what you configured or managed inside it.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists contract operations manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a cross-functional stakeholder story
Interviewers for contract operations roles consistently probe how you manage disagreement between legal, procurement, and business teams. Prepare a specific example where you resolved a contract dispute or bottleneck across departments, with a clear outcome.
Negotiate against the full compensation package
Base pay is only one lever. Contract operations managers often have room to negotiate on bonus structure, remote flexibility, and signing amounts. Research comparable roles before your offer conversation and come in with a specific counter, not a range.
Contract Operations Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most contract operations managers?
The companies hiring the most contract operations managers right now include lululemon, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and Palantir Technologies, with the largest share of openings in California, Massachusetts, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially concentrated in healthcare systems, enterprise technology firms, and large-scale logistics and procurement operations.
How many contract operations manager jobs are remote?
About 62% of contract operations manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the document-centric and cross-functional nature of the role. Sub-areas with the highest remote share include vendor contract administration, SaaS procurement operations, and compliance-focused contract review roles where in-person presence is rarely required.
How do you become a contract operations manager?
Start by building experience in contracts, procurement, or operations support, ideally in a role where you draft or review agreements. Develop fluency in at least one contract lifecycle management platform. Pursue a certification such as the Certified Commercial Contracts Manager to formalize your credentials. From there, move into roles with increasing contract volume and stakeholder complexity until you're managing end-to-end contract operations.
Can you get a contract operations manager job with little experience?
Yes, especially if you frame adjacent experience strategically. Procurement coordinators, legal operations assistants, and vendor management analysts regularly transition into these roles. Emphasize any direct exposure to contract review, approval workflows, or CLM tools. A relevant certification can offset a thinner work history, and smaller companies or startups are more likely to consider candidates building toward the full scope of the role.
What does the contract operations manager interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four rounds. An initial screening call with a recruiter is followed by a hiring manager interview focused on your contract lifecycle experience and tool familiarity. A panel or cross-functional round typically probes stakeholder management and compliance judgment. Some employers add a practical exercise, such as redlining a sample agreement or walking through how you'd build a contract approval workflow.
Where can I find and apply to contract operations manager jobs?
You can find and apply to contract operations manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your experience and preferences, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
