- Legal sits at the center of all three motions.
Responsibilities

- Act as a primary legal partner for the commercialisation of GTM products, advising on go-to-market structures, route-to-market models, pricing and packaging frameworks, and the legal terms that govern how products are brought to market directly and through third parties.
- Own and continuously develop the suite of enterprise and channel contracting templates, playbooks, negotiation guidelines, and approval frameworks used across the partnerships function.
- Design scalable legal infrastructure that empowers fast-moving deal teams to execute efficiently while maintaining sound risk controls across both direct and indirect channels.
