  • - Independently drive initiatives to improve commercial awareness, transparency, and the responsiveness of legal service delivery to internal stakeholders.
  • - Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners (e.g., Finance, Engineering, HR) and legal team members to understand operational needs, define detailed requirements, and ensure successful adoption of new systems.
  • - Own the full project lifecycle for moderate-to-complex legal operations projects, ensuring on-time and within-budget delivery with clear communication to stakeholders.
