• Lead and drive continuous improvement initiatives across legal operations, including enhancing intake and triage models, standardizing contracting processes, templates, and playbooks, optimizing workflows, and advancing scalable, efficient, and high-quality legal operations across Provider Solutions.
• Identify legal, regulatory, and business risks; assess potential impact; propose practical mitigation strategies; communicate recommended positions in clear, business-focused terms; and drive efficient issue resolution through standardized, scalable approaches where appropriate.
• Review, analyze, and negotiate commercial agreements and related documentation, utilizing approved templates and standard positions where available, promoting consistency and efficiency in contract execution, and escalating non-standard issues as appropriate.
