Key Responsibilities
- Lead the legal workstream for complex, multi-country services and solutions transactions, supporting negotiations and driving resolution of contractual issues through to execution.
- Work directly with customers and counterparties in negotiations, building trusted and commercially constructive relationships.
- Partner closely with sales and commercial teams to structure and close large, strategic transactions.
- Advise the business on existing contractual commitments and support the development and launch of new services, software, and technology solutions.
- Provide pragmatic advice on a broad range of commercial, regulatory, and contractual issues.
- Work collaboratively with lawyers, subject matter experts, and business stakeholders across multiple international regions.
- Develop and maintain practical playbooks, templates, and contracting tools to support the Services & Solutions business.
- Support the creation of standard contractual frameworks for emerging services and commercial models.
- Identify when specialist legal input is required and coordinate with internal subject matter experts and external counsel.
- Ensure transactions align with contracting policies, risk frameworks, AI governance, and other relevant corporate governance requirements.
- Provide clear visibility to legal and business leadership on deal status, key risks, escalation points, and potential solutions.
- Help the business find commercially viable solutions to contractual issues while maintaining appropriate legal and risk protections.
