Advise Commercial, Program Management, and other business teams on legal and contractual issues arising from customer collaborations, bids, and ongoing programs; support timely issue resolution and deal closure.

Provide advice on non-contentious intellectual property provisions, including licenses, background and foreground IP, know-how, and related allocation issues, in coordination with patent counsel or other specialists as needed.
Prepare clear briefings and practical recommendations for business colleagues and management on contractual, legal, and compliance matters.
Develop, maintain, and improve templates, playbooks, guidance, and contracting standards for use across FLBG, considering consistency across functions and jurisdictions.
Develop and deliver legal training for business stakeholders on contracting, use of precedents, legal processes, and relevant compliance topics.
Support legal-process and technology improvements, including contract lifecycle management, document management, data insights, and responsible use of emerging technologies to improve efficiency, quality, and consistency.
Coordinate with internal subject-matter experts and, when authorized, outside counsel on specialized matters such as regulatory, employment, disputes, real estate, privacy, competition, and corporate matters.
Support dispute avoidance and resolution and provide ancillary legal support to functions such as HR, EHS, Quality, Capital Projects, and Compliance.

Strong commercial-contracting background with demonstrated experience drafting and negotiating complex services, development, manufacturing, supply, licensing, and confidentiality agreements.
Sound judgment and the ability to resolve issues independently within established frameworks while recognizing when escalation or specialist input is required.
Strong negotiation, written communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to explain legal concepts and influence cross-functional stakeholders.
Pragmatic, analytical, and customer-focused problem solving that balances timely business outcomes with legal and compliance requirements.
Ability to manage a substantial workload, prioritize critical matters, and meet deadlines in a dynamic, global, and matrixed environment.
Familiarity with legal and compliance topics relevant to life sciences, such as GMP interfaces, data privacy, competition, anti-bribery, and pharmaceutical regulation, is preferred.
Familiarity with international contracting and multi-jurisdictional issues is preferred.
Proficiency with modern legal technology, including document management, e-signature, collaboration platforms, and contract lifecycle management tools, with willingness to explore responsible uses of AI and emerging technologies.
