You’ll lead procurement and vendor contracting strategy, including onboarding, due diligence, and ongoing vendor management. You will own and enhance CLM operations (template governance, fallback positions, approval matrices, and clause libraries). You will lead legal review for third‑party partnerships and co‑branded offerings. You will advise stakeholders on key legal risks (contract terms, data privacy, security, indemnity, limitation of liability) and develop legal enablement tools, trainings, and scalable contract playbooks. You will partner with InfoSec, Compliance, and Privacy on third‑party risk frameworks and data‑sharing requirements. You will identify process improvements and drive automation opportunities in commercial legal workflows.
