You are pragmatic, solutions-oriented, and comfortable balancing risk with business velocity in a high-growth, technology-driven environment. You will partner closely with Procurement, Financial Partners, and other cross‐functional teams to negotiate a range of vendor transactions.

Lead negotiation, drafting, and execution of a wide range of vendor agreements, including technology services, cloud services, SaaS, data platform, contractor, marketing/creative, lease, and payment processing engagements. Manage a high volume of deals with speed and sound judgment.

Design, implement, and continuously improve playbooks, contract templates, negotiation guides, and workflows that enable the team to operate efficiently at scale. Identify friction points and build solutions that reduce cycle time without sacrificing quality.

Work closely with procurement, financial partnerships, engineering, product, finance, information security, privacy, and other teams to provide clear, practical guidance.

Serve as a proactive, strategic business partner to stakeholders across the organization.

Develop and deliver training and resources that empower business partners to self-serve on routine commercial legal matters, increasing team capacity and reducing bottlenecks.
