Experience serving as the go-to legal partner for a partnerships or business development organization; the attorney that business leaders actively want in strategy sessions

Outstanding communication skills with executive presence; you're comfortable presenting partnership strategy to senior leadership and negotiating directly with partner General Counsels

You’ll not only focus on how we interact with our own resale channels but also on how we participate in third-party marketplaces.

We'll count on you to own, negotiate, and continuously improve the core contracting vehicles for these go-to-market programs, as well as supporting terms that sit between sellers and buyers.

Own end-to-end legal strategy and execution for certain partnership ecosystems and contracting programs
