Amazon's Seller Experience Legal team is seeking an experienced Contracts Manager who thinks like a business partner, builds like a technologist, and executes like a seasoned legal professional. You'll own end-to-end contracting for teams supporting millions of third-party sellers, develop AI-powered tools that transform how legal work gets done, and help structure deals with global brands and industry leaders. This isn't coordination—it's ownership. You'll turn ambiguous inputs into polished outputs, build legal infrastructure that raises the bar for everyone, and act as the critical bridge between legal strategy and business execution. If you're curious, autonomous, and the kind of person who sees a messy process and immediately starts thinking about how to fix it (and then actually fixes it), this role offers the impact and innovation you're looking for.
Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end contracting for Seller Experience Legal—drafting, negotiating, and closing commercial agreements with minimal oversight while identifying risks and recommending business-enabling solutions
- Build and deploy AI-powered tools and automated workflows that reduce manual work, accelerate output, and expand what the team can accomplish
- Develop and maintain contract templates, training materials, SOPs, and metrics that raise the bar for team performance and operational excellence
- Design holistic project plans for proactive legal initiatives—owning scope, milestones, and delivery across cross-functional stakeholders
- Provide prompt, accurate legal guidance to business partners, escalating appropriately and ensuring stakeholders always have clarity on next steps
A day in the life
Your day will be a blend of execution and strategic engagement. In the morning you might be reviewing a commercial agreement, flagging risk gaps, and recommending changes—then pivoting to a cross-functional sync where you're the legal voice helping a product team move faster, not slower. In the afternoon you're iterating on an AI-powered contract workflow, updating a program tracker for leadership, or drafting training materials that make the next deal easier for everyone.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Contracts Manager
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
Contracts Manager roles must qualify as specialty occupations requiring a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Pull the O*NET occupation profile for contract administration to confirm the degree requirement language before applying.
Target employers with active government contract work
Federal contractors and defense firms hire Contracts Manager roles at volume and are accustomed to H-1B1 Chile visa sponsorship paperwork. Their legal teams already understand LCA filing and prevailing wage compliance, which shortens your offer-to-start timeline.
Search verified sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers with confirmed H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history in contracts and procurement roles. This surfaces companies that have already navigated the DOL certification process for this visa category.
Verify your prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Run your target city and job title through the OFLC Wage Search to find the applicable prevailing wage level. Your offer must meet or exceed that figure for the LCA to be certified, so knowing the floor before negotiation protects you.
Confirm employer LCA filing before your consulate appointment
The H-1B1 Chile visa is consulate-processed, not USCIS-adjudicated, but you still need a certified LCA from DOL before your appointment. Confirm with your employer that the LCA is certified and that they've provided you a complete copy to present at the interview.
Prepare a contract-specific degree equivalency brief
Chilean law or business degrees don't always map cleanly to U.S. specialty occupation standards. Compile a one-page equivalency brief showing how your Chilean degree coursework aligns to the contracts management role, which consular officers can reference during adjudication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Contracts Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes, if the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as business administration, contract law, supply chain management, or a related discipline. Roles where any general degree satisfies the requirement may face scrutiny. The O*NET profile for contract administration confirms that most positions carry a degree requirement in a specific field, which supports specialty occupation classification.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa compare to the H-1B for Contracts Manager roles?
The H-1B1 Chile visa has no lottery, no USCIS petition, and a 1,400-visa annual cap that has never been exhausted. You apply directly at the U.S. consulate after your employer files a certified LCA with DOL. The H-1B visa requires a USCIS petition, is subject to an annual lottery, and can take months longer. For Chilean nationals, the H-1B1 is a faster, more predictable path to the same work authorization outcome.
How can I find employers who sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas for Contracts Manager positions?
Use Migrate Mate to search for employers with verified H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history in contracts and procurement. Most employers who have filed for this visa category before already have internal processes in place, which makes the sponsorship conversation easier to start and faster to execute once you receive an offer.
What documents do I need at my H-1B1 Chile consulate interview for a Contracts Manager role?
You'll need your certified LCA, a letter from your employer detailing your role and confirming specialty occupation status, your academic credentials showing your degree is in a directly related field, your DS-160 confirmation, and proof of Chilean nationality. Consular officers may ask how your coursework maps to the contracts management position, so having a clear degree-to-role narrative prepared helps.
Can I switch employers after entering the U.S. on an H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes, but the H-1B1 Chile visa does not carry portability provisions the way an approved H-1B petition does. Your new employer must file a new LCA with DOL and you'll need to return to a U.S. consulate to obtain a new visa stamp reflecting the updated employment. Planning for that consulate step before accepting a new offer keeps your work authorization continuous.
