• Strong organization and project coordination across markets and functions.
• Service-oriented team player who responds constructively to requests, communicates clearly and works collaboratively to deliver practical support.
• Ability to turn legal guidance into usable templates, checklists and instructions.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and readiness to use approved contract, workflow and AI tools.
• Sound judgment, discretion and compliance with confidentiality requirements.

Must Have Experience:

• Hands-on experience drafting or reviewing contracts or other legal documents.
• Experience applying templates, playbooks, approval rules or defined legal processes.
