• Work with Legal colleagues to support the training of business partners on contract policies and processes, templates and fallback language to enable trained users throughout the business to adopt best practices and execute successfully using "self-service" contracting tools through the establishment of "contract champions" outside of the Legal Team.
• Multi-task across a high-volume of projects, prioritize and manage timelines effectively in a responsive and professional manner and actively seek help from colleagues when appropriate.
