  • System Administration: Act as the primary legal team interface with other departments in structuring cross-departmental functions, including the establishment and enhancement of company-wide IT systems, particularly our CLM tool.
  • Reporting and Analytics: Manage standard and ad-hoc reporting and metrics related to contract volume, turnaround times, and other key performance indicators to inform strategic decisions.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work collaboratively with the team to continually identify opportunities to accelerate contract closure, respond to inquiries effectively, and develop comprehensive contracting policies.
  • Innovation Champion: Be a champion for a better, faster, and simpler way of doing things within the legal and contracting functions.
