• Operational Excellence: Build and maintain trackers, playbooks, and workflows to increase team efficiency and scalability; drive consistency across processes; conduct legal and factual research and support attorneys with diligence for transactions or strategic initiatives.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with Finance, Security, Operations, and Sales to support projects from vendor onboarding to audits to customer negotiations; provide visibility through trackers and dashboards.
• Team Contribution: Be a team player, embrace Sierra's culture of collaboration and continuous improvement, and explore new areas of law as the company scales.
