• Ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all contractual arrangements.
• Identify and improve operational efficiencies in the legal & contracting space.
• Research and implement technology tools to drive efficiency.
• Build internal legal “playbooks” to ensure consistency in common negotiations.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, interpersonal, and negotiation skills.
• Strong organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, prioritize effectively, and work autonomously in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
