  • Maintain department information repositories, clause libraries, templates, and shared resources
  • Support compliance-related activities, departmental training, and recurring reporting cycles
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, reporting capabilities, and operational efficiency

What We're Looking For

  • Advanced PowerPoint skills with the ability to build polished executive- and Board-level presentations
  • Advanced Excel and data analysis skills, including experience developing reports, dashboards, metrics, and financial analyses
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and recurring deadlines
  • Experience working with business systems and technology platforms, with the ability to learn new applications quickly
  • Strong financial acumen, including experience supporting budgets, invoice processing, or spend tracking
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with data visualization or business intelligence tools such as Power BI or Tableau
  • Experience with legal billing systems, contract lifecycle management (CLM) platforms, or document management systems
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams and business stakeholders
  • Experience with vendor management, forecasting, or budget administration

Who Thrives in This Role
You may be a great fit if you:

  • Take pride in creating polished, high-quality presentations and reports
  • Are highly organized and excel at managing recurring deadlines and competing priorities
