They will serve as a key point of contact for contract intake, partnering with internal stakeholders to gather requirements, identifying risks, and facilitating timely contract review and execution.

They will be organized, detail-oriented, and process-focused, with experience tracking contract metrics, monitoring workflow performance, and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency. They help maintain contract templates, clause libraries, playbooks, and other contracting resources, support the administration of contract management systems and related technologies, and coordinate activities related to the organization's trademark and service mark portfolio.

  • Experience conducting research on the Internet and in other legal resources.
  • Experience with MS Office, enterprise file management solutions such as SharePoint or iManage, and any other relevant technology.
  • Attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
  • Communication, critical thinking and writing skills, including experience editing and drafting legal documents.
  • Experience in project and/or process management for efficient workflow.
