You'll work directly on a variety of commercial agreements (customer, vendor, NDA, and more) alongside corporate transactions like M&A, financing, and public company readiness. Beyond supporting the team's active transaction pipeline, you'll take ownership of several concrete projects designed to modernize how the team reviews and manages contracts.

  • Use Claude or other AI tools to build and test an intake workflow that produces first-pass issue-spot summaries for counsel review

  • Draft a library of response templates for routine counterparty negotiation asks

  • Assist with onboarding the company on a new contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform

You
