FB Solutions Group is a contract-intensive business. Co-manufacturing agreements, international ingredient supply contracts, material agreements, customer master service agreements, Statements of Work, MNDA’s, Non-circumvent ions and distribution terms determine the economics of both operating companies, and the provisions inside them carry material dollar consequences: pricing and adjustment mechanics, duty and tariff allocation, minimum volume and take-or-pay commitments, quality and rejection rights, indemnification, and termination.

The Manager of Contracts and Risk owns commercial contracting across FB Solutions Group and its operating companies. This position serves as the first and, in most cases, the final internal reviewer of counter party paper. The Manager independently drafts, redlines, and negotiates commercial agreements against an established playbook, engages directly with customer and supplier counterparts, and retains outside counsel by exception rather than by default.

The Manager works directly with the sales team and commercial leadership at both operating companies, serving as their contracting partner from term sheet through execution and holding the line on terms that protect margin when a transaction is under time pressure.

The position also owns the contract management system and the company's insurance documentation and renewal program. It reports to the Chief Financial Officer and partners closely with commercial leaders, procurement, finance, and operations leadership. Success requires sound commercial judgment, the discipline to maintain a reliable contractual record, and the willingness to hold a negotiating position under internal and external pressure.

This role is designed for an experienced commercial or transactional paralegal, or a contracts manager of equivalent background, rather than a practicing attorney. FB Solutions Group retains outside counsel for litigation, regulatory, and specialized matters.
