• Translate legal and regulatory developments into clear, actionable guidance for executive leadership and commercial teams on deal risk, negotiation strategy, and business impact.
• Provide day-to-day legal support on data privacy and regulatory terms in customer and partner agreements (such as HIPAA and GDPR), working with the Privacy, Security, and Compliance teams.
• Support additional legal matters as needed, including corporate governance, corporate transactions, employment, intellectual property, and disputes, and serve as a delegate for the General Counsel when needed.
• Lead the ongoing improvement of legal policies, contracting frameworks, templates, playbooks, and processes to strengthen legal standards and improve efficiency and consistency.
