Changes in laws, regulations, and internal policies
Geopolitical, economic, and public‑health developments
Market trends and supplier business models
Evolving negotiation norms and “market” positions for key contract terms
Incorporate these insights into transactional advice, negotiation strategies, and contracting infrastructure to improve quality, speed, risk mitigation, and business outcomes.
Lead and develop a team of transactions & contracts legal professionals aligned to DD&T and Business Partner functions.
Strategically allocate internal / external team resources based on risk, complexity, business priorities, and enterprise impact.
Partner with GTC Legal leaders to ensure consistency, alignment, and best‑practice sharing across the team.

Experience implementing and working within strategic legal support models that empower business stakeholders and Procurement to independently prepare, negotiate and execute high-volume and routine contracts.
Experience collaborating productively and efficiently with subject matter experts within and outside the Law Department in support of in-scope contracts and transactions.
