• Help update Legal contracts, templates and playbooks to ensure consistency

• Proficiency with issue-spotting for negotiating an equitable outcome
• Experience with data privacy and information security regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) is a plus
• Self-starter with a demonstrated ability to multi-task, prioritize and manage multiple projects and recalibrate easily in response to shifting priorities, process change, and risk tolerance
• Great teammate who enjoys building relationships and collaborating with others
• Very organized, proactive, and resourceful with a high attention to detail
• Great interpersonal skills to work in a proactive and service-minded manner
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with the highest level of discretion and respect
• Experience working with various functions and levels within an organization, including senior level management
