• Escalate material risks and non-standard positions to senior leadership and C-suite executives, providing well-reasoned recommendations and next-step options.
• Support contract negotiations across multiple regions, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, with flexibility to work across time zones as required.

Contract Operations & Process Improvement
