Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts, preferably on the sales side, procurement side, or both.

• Comfortable engaging directly with stakeholders and supporting negotiations.
• Proficient with Microsoft Copilot, AI tools, or willing to learn how to use AI to support contract review and decision-making.
• Law degree is not required.

What We're Looking For
We're seeking someone who is:

• Passionate about contracts and commercial negotiations.
• A quick learner with a strong work ethic.
• Curious and open to continuous learning.
• Comfortable working in a highly collaborative office environment.
• Flexible and responsive when business priorities require support outside of standard routines.

What We Offer
