This role requires strong commercial judgment, the ability to translate legal risk into clear business decision frameworks, and comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-volume enterprise procurement environment.

Technology and services transactions that enable these portfolios : SaaS/hosted services, integrations/APIs, security tooling, professional and managed services, and strategic vendor arrangements supporting product development and commercialization. Structure and negotiate risk allocation frameworks, including liability regimes (limitations of liability, indemnities, special damages, insurance requirements). Ensure agreements accurately reflect business objectives while minimizing legal, operational, financial, reputational, and security risk, with particular focus on: Data and security terms (data rights/use restrictions, breach notification, subcontractor controls, retention, audit evidence needs). Performance and operations terms (SLAs, service credits, support responsibilities, implementation milestones, service continuity, and disaster recovery). Commercial terms (pricing models, variable/volume-based fees, audit rights, benchmarking, MFN/most-favored provisions, termination rights, and transition assistance). Flow-down alignment between upstream vendor obligations (warranties/SLAs/credits/IP/data/security) and downstream customer commitments in sales channels for resale offerings. Governance dependencies common in financial products (TPRM, InfoSec, Privacy, Compliance, Accounting/Controls) and disciplined early alignment to prevent late-stage escalations. Serve as a trusted legal advisor to business, product, finance, and procurement stakeholders—providing practical, solution-oriented counsel aligned with enterprise strategy and operational objectives. Identify and assess legal, regulatory, financial, and operational risks; articulate mitigation strategies; and exercise independent judgment within established corporate risk frameworks. Drive operational excellence by developing and refining templates, playbooks, clause positions, and escalation guardrails; leveraging technology-enabled solutions (including AI where appropriate) and process optimization to improve contracting efficiency, scalability, and risk consistency. Manage outside counsel strategically—right-sizing use to risk and complexity and actively controlling scope, budget, and outcomes.
