• Proven ability to manage corporate records, contract workflows, and legal documentation, with strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Familiarity with Athennian or other entity management software, and comfort with using CLM or e‑signature tools (e.g., DocuSign) is an asset.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across departments and with external stakeholders.
• A proactive, problem‑solving mindset with a practical, business‑oriented approach to legal and operational challenges.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced, global SaaS environment.
