• Engage and develop strong relationships with cross-functional teams, including finance, engineering, product, marketing, sales, sales operations and people teams, as needed to identify issues, advise on business and legal risks, and resolve issues to closeout vendor and customer agreements
• Identify process improvements and help build scalable solutions to continuously improve Catalant’s procurement processes (e.g., development of templates, policies, procedures, tools, training programs, etc.)
• Play an important role in fostering awareness and ensuring compliance with vendor procurement processes and contractual obligations across the company
• Undertake other projects as required as part of a small legal team
