• Structure and negotiate reseller, referral, white label, alliance, and design partner agreements.
• Allocate and negotiate risk across liability caps, indemnities, data breach obligations, and regulatory frameworks in both customer and vendor transactions.
• Negotiate and manage true-up provisions, ensuring clarity on usage-based pricing, reconciliation rights, and audit processes.
• Build scalable contracting workflows, playbooks, and fallback positions to streamline revenue enablement.
• Partner with Deal Desk, Sales, and RevOps to accelerate deal closure without overexposing the business.
• Implement post-signature discipline, including renewal compliance and upsell triggers.
• Leverage CLM tools and data-driven reporting to support contract lifecycle management.
