- Communicate complex legal considerations clearly and concisely, adapting your approach to different stakeholders and audiences.
- Support the development and improvement of contracting processes, templates, playbooks, and procedures to increase operational efficiency.
- Qualified lawyer in a common law jurisdiction with at least 5 years of relevant legal experience, with strong experience in commercial contracts gained in-house and/or at a reputable law firm.

- Ability to independently manage multiple transactions and priorities in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision.
- Highly collaborative and solutions-oriented, with strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
