Role Summary
This is a high-ownership, high-judgment role where success depends on the ability to operate independently, engage effectively across stakeholders, and drive complex deals forward with pace and precision.

•    Deeply inquisitive and business-driven - consistently seeks to understand the “why” behind each engagement and uses that insight to shape recommendations and contract strategy
•    Comfortable challenging assumptions and asking direct questions - does not take inputs at face value; surfaces gaps, tests reasoning, and pushes for stronger outcomes
•    Strong commercial problem solver - connects contract terms to business objectives; identifies risks, tradeoffs, and pragmatic paths forward
•    Thrives in ambiguity with a “jack-of-all-trades” mindset - flexible and willing to step across functional boundaries, handling a wide variety of deal types and stakeholder needs
•    Ability to manage multiple priority-1 items without loss of clarity or quality - remains organized and responsive while maintaining high standards for thinking and communication
