Job description
Role Summary:
A lawyer who sits between legal practice and software delivery owning the legal logic across the whole contracting journey and validating that the product actually reflects it.

Map the end-to-end contract lifecycle (intake matter drafting/negotiation approvals/DoA e-signature activation extraction obligations amendments renewal/termination reporting)

Configure pre-signature workflows and post-signature contract setup
Define key commercial terms, dates, term, and renewal logic
Manage amendments and contract linking
Develop risk playbooks and conduct missing-clause analysis
Create obligation extraction rules (obligor / action / timing / evidence)
Draft realistic test agreements across various contract types, including:
SLAs
Leases
Loans
NDAs
Supply contracts
Test AI outputs for:
Summarisation
Clause and field extraction
FAQs
Document comparison
Conversational assistant responses
Feed legal corrections back into the product as formal requirements
Perform expert User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
Conduct regression testing
Reproduce defects and perform root-cause triage (defect vs. AI vs. configuration vs. data vs. user error)
Validate releases and upgrades
Deliver product demos and training sessions
Drive client adoption
Build and maintain reporting dashboards
Perform heavy Excel-based data migration, classification, and data-quality work across thousands of records
Requirements:
