Position Summary

The Senior Product Analyst, Legal – Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a key technology role responsible for supporting and evolving Contract Lifecycle Management solutions across the organization. This position serves as a technical and functional subject matter expert for CLM technology, partnering closely with Legal, Procurement, IT, and business stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable technology solutions.

The organization currently utilizes Sirion as its CLM platform. The successful candidate will develop deep expertise in the CLM platform, including its configuration, integrations, APIs, data structures, workflows, automations, and reporting capabilities.
