  • Facilitate requirements sessions to map contract workflows, identify automation opportunities, and translate legal and business needs into technical plans.
  • Configure contract workflows and maintain supporting templates, clause libraries, negotiation playbooks, and fallback positions.
  • Develop and curate legal datasets and annotation standards for model development and evaluation.
  • Work with data science and engineering teams to test and improve models, comparing outputs with ground-truth examples and documenting performance gaps.
  • Set quality assurance, human review, validation, and governance practices; prepare guidance and training to support adoption.
Requirements
  • Experience in legal AI or knowledge engineering, contract lifecycle management, contract automation, legal technology, or AI-supported legal operations.
  • Hands-on implementation of AI or generative AI capabilities in a contract management platform.
  • Ability to translate legal concepts into structured data, workflows, and technical requirements.
  • Strong understanding of commercial contracts, clause structures, negotiation playbooks, risk, and contract lifecycle processes.
  • Experience preparing or evaluating legal datasets and testing model outputs against ground truth.
  • Skills in workflow mapping, requirements gathering, process design, and stakeholder facilitation.
  • Knowledge of responsible AI, human review, data quality, privacy, compliance, and model governance.
  • Ability to collaborate across legal, procurement, product, data science, engineering, and business teams.
