• Excellent contract drafting, review, and negotiation skills, including a proven ability to independently manage sophisticated commercial agreements from beginning to end.


• Strong legal issue-spotting skills and the ability to assess business risks beyond the immediate terms of a contract.


• Sound commercial judgment and a pragmatic approach to risk, balancing appropriate legal protections with business agility and avoiding unnecessarily complex solutions.


• Proven ability to operate independently, take ownership of matters, and advise senior business leaders with confidence and sound judgment.


• Strong interpersonal, communication, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to explain complex legal issues clearly and concisely.


• A collaborative, solution-oriented mindset and the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams.


• Excellent organizational and prioritization skills, including the ability to manage multiple deadlines and respond effectively in a fast-paced environment.
