What You Will Do: Key Responsibilities Client Engagement & Requirements Gathering: Lead consultative workshops and discussions with client legal teams (primarily US-based) to deeply understand and document their contract negotiation playbooks, standard redlining positions, and risk tolerance. Legal Subject Matter Expertise: Act as the primary legal domain expert in client-facing meetings, confidently articulating the capabilities of GenAI legal technology and guiding clients through the process of defining their redlining rules and negotiation instructions. Technical Translation & Collaboration: Translate the client’s legal requirements into clear, actionable inputs for the technical team, enabling them to build and configure precise AI models and prompts within the software. Quality Assurance & Validation: Conduct expert-level reviews of the final output from the platform to ensure it aligns perfectly with the client’s specified legal and commercial requirements.

You must project credibility, build trust, and speak as a peer, adopting a consultative and solutions-oriented approach. Technical Acumen & Interest: A genuine passion for legal innovation and technology.

Experience with Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) tools is a significant advantage. Exceptional Communication: Flawless written and verbal English communication skills. You must be adept at translating complex legal nuances into simple, clear instructions for a technical audience and vice-versa. Autonomy & Adaptability: A highly independent, detail-oriented professional who thrives in a fast-paced, global legal tech environment. Critical Requirement: Work Schedule & Global Collaboration This role requires significant real-time collaboration with clients based in the United States. The successful candidate must be available for regular meetings (2-3x a week) during US business hours. This typically corresponds to late evenings in India (approx. 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM IST). This typically corresponds to very late evenings/early mornings in Manila (approx. 10:30 PM - 1:30 AM PHT). This schedule is essential for direct client engagement and the success of our implementation projects. Our hybrid model provides flexibility outside of these core collaboration hours. #J-18808-Ljbffr
