Strong attention to detail in contract drafting and document control, including the ability to track and explain changes through a negotiation process.

Negotiation and relationship skills, with a track record of handling high-stakes business agreements.

Cross-functional leadership ability to coordinate inputs from engineering, finance, and legal teams seamlessly.
