• Partner with Legal, TPCRM, and business stakeholders to align on risk positions
• Manage a high volume of negotiations with defined throughput targets
• Track progress against initiative deadlines through 12/31/2026
• Escalate stalled or high-risk negotiations with clear recommendations to leadership

Required Qualifications

• 2–5 years of contract negotiation experience (technology, security, or data agreements preferred)
• Working knowledge of information security, data protection, or third-party risk principles
• Exposure to AI, emerging technology, or data governance concepts (preferred)
• Proven ability to drive negotiations to closure in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Highly organized with ability to manage multiple concurrent negotiations

Preferred Experience
