About Humanoid

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND-01 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About The Role

Humanoid is seeking a Director of Contracts & Business Support to lead commercial contracting across the business and to build the processes, standards, and systems that support it. This is the company's senior commercial legal role, reporting directly to the CLO. It carries a global remit covering the markets Humanoid sells into, the partners it builds with, and the suppliers from which it sources. The role works in close partnership with the go-to-market (GTM) and supply chain functions, supporting transactions from initial structuring through negotiation to signature. This includes customer and reseller agreements, master supply and manufacturing contracts, technology partnerships incorporating revenue share and other non-standard commercial models, and the confidentiality and data protection arrangements that sit alongside them. Alongside transactional work, the role owns the contracting operating model: standard templates, negotiation playbooks and fallback positions, delegation of authority, escalation routes, and the selection and implementation of contract lifecycle management (CLM) and AI-assisted contract review tooling.

What You'll Do

• Own commercial contracting end to end — drafting, negotiating, and closing customer, partner, and supplier agreements across every country we operate in.
• Act as the legal partner to our GTM and supply chain teams, from early deal shaping through to signature, with fast and commercially practical answers.
• Negotiate supply chain and manufacturing agreements, and technology partnerships including revenue share and other non-standard commercial models.
• Build and own the contracting operating model: templates, playbooks, guidelines, delegation of authority, escalation paths, and the internal processes that keep deals moving.
• Select, implement, and get real value from CLM and AI-assisted contract review tooling — running a pipeline in the hundreds without simply adding headcount.
• Protect and commercialise our intellectual property (IP), advising on ownership, licensing, and confidentiality across customer, partner, and supplier arrangements.
• Manage commercial disputes and pre-litigation matters, working with the Head of Compliance and outside counsel where it makes sense.
• Work with the Head of Compliance and the CLO to make sure commercial terms reflect our regulatory obligations.
• Instruct and manage outside counsel with a clear view of cost and value.
• Build, manage, and develop the contracts team as it grows, while staying hands-on yourself.
• Be a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders across Sales, Supply Chain, Finance, and the executive team.
