    • Develop workflow descriptions and provide training to improve operational efficiency across the firm.
  • Contract Negotiation Support
    • Review, negotiate, and redline agreements such as NDAs, vendor contracts, and amendments by using form templates and playbooks.
    • Coordinate with internal business teams and external counterparties to finalize contracts.
  • Compliance & Recordkeeping
    • Maintain organized filing systems for regulatory and corporate compliance materials.
    • Support reporting, audit, and policy implementation efforts.

Requirements

    • Basic HTML or similar skills (for form and template customization).
  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting.
  • A proactive mindset with a passion for improving processes through technology.
  • Ability to come 4 days per week in office with greater flexibility over time

Benefits
