Key responsibilities & impact

Drafting, reviewing, redlining, and negotiating a variety of agreements (MSAs, NDAs, DPAs, SOWs, SaaS agreements).
Review, negotiate, and manage SLED agreements from intake through signature (customer terms, award documents, exhibits/addenda, and required forms).
Identify and drive resolution of common public-sector issues (required clauses, certifications, insurance, data/privacy/security requirements), partnering with internal stakeholders as needed.

Build and maintain reusable response assets (standard language, “must-have” exceptions, review checklists) and continuously improve the RFP Legal response process.
Support the channel sales team by negotiating reseller agreements and resolving issues that arise when selling to end-customers.
Support renewal execution by triaging customer terms at renewal, resolving PO vs. quote conflicts, and ensuring clean documentation and order mechanics.
Provide guidance on renewal mechanics (auto-renewal language, notice timing, short extensions/bridge language, and common renewal exceptions requiring approvals).
Develop and improve renewal workflows (templates, approval paths, escalation rules, and “renewal hygiene” practices) with Legal Ops and cross-functional partners.
Contribute to other Legal team priorities within scope, which may include insurance program administration/support (e.g., certificates, contracting-related insurance questions, coordination with brokers) and intellectual property support (e.g., intake/coordination for trademarks, basic IP terms triage, and routing to counsel as appropriate).
