- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex legal concepts clearly to non‑legal stakeholders.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple matters concurrently.
- A collaborative, proactive and solution‑focused approach to problem solving.
- Experience contributing to or developing contract lifecycle management processes, templates or playbooks is desirable.
