• Translate business and legal requirements into clear workflow designs, user instructions, acceptance criteria, and implementation documentation.
• Provide hands-on support during pilots, user acceptance testing, deployment, training, and post-launch optimization.
• Manage prompt development, testing, documentation, and implementation workstreams with limited supervision.
• Apply sound judgment to routine contract management and AI-quality issues; escalate novel, material, or high-risk matters.
• Deliver accurate, well-structured work on schedule and communicate risks, dependencies, and progress clearly.
• Collaborate effectively with senior legal professionals, engagement teams, technology specialists, and client stakeholders.

• Develop AI-enabled approaches for contract review, clause extraction, issue spotting, risk flagging, and deviation analysis.
• Design prompts and templates for contract summaries, executive summaries, obligation summaries, negotiation drafts, proposed redlines, and fallback positions.
• Create and maintain playbooks, clause libraries, decision trees, review guidance, structured outputs, and other reusable legal knowledge assets.
• Explore and prototype additional contract management use cases as new needs arise.

Quality Assurance and Responsible Use

• Build representative test sets and evaluate AI outputs for legal accuracy, completeness, consistency, usability, and alignment with approved playbooks.
• Document prompt versions, test results, known limitations, escalation points, and required human-review steps.
• Identify hallucinations, unsupported conclusions, inconsistent outputs, and other failure modes; adjust prompts or workflows accordingly.
• Apply requirements related to confidentiality, data protection, information security, client permissions, and responsible AI use.
• Escalate high-risk legal, regulatory, confidentiality, or technical issues to appropriate senior owners.

Engagement and User Support

• Serve as a practical support point for legal teams adopting AI-enabled contract management workflows.
• Prepare user guidance, prompt instructions, examples, training materials, and knowledge articles.
• Gather structured feedback from users and stakeholders and convert it into prioritized improvements.
• Support troubleshooting and distinguish prompt, process, data, configuration, and user-adoption issues.

Knowledge Management and Continuous Improvement

• Maintain a reusable library of approved prompts, playbooks, templates, test cases, lessons learned, and implementation standards.
• Share effective practices across engagements while respecting client confidentiality and information barriers.
• Track emerging AI capabilities and recommend relevant experiments within the governance framework.
• Contribute to repeatable delivery methods to make future AI implementations faster, safer, and easier to scale.

Requirements

• Legal education or equivalent practical experience in commercial contracts, contract management, legal operations, or legal services delivery.
• Strong working understanding of commercial contract structures, common clauses, risk allocation, and contract review processes.
