Principal CLM Technical Architect - Sirion & AI

Principal CLM Technical Architect (Remote)

Three years experience

Interview:Phone+Skype

The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly experienced CLM Technical Architect to help lead the design and evolution of a large-scale enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management environment built on Sirion.

This is not a traditional functional CLM consulting role. We are looking for someone who understands contract management deeply but is first and foremost a technical problem solver, architect, and innovator.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience implementing Sirion in complex enterprise environments and can move comfortably between platform architecture, configuration, integrations, data, security, AI, and business process design.

Just as importantly, we want someone who is thinking about where CLM is going next - particularly the use of AI, intelligent automation, contract intelligence, and agentic workflows to fundamentally improve how contracting operates.

What You'll Do

• Serve as a technical authority for the enterprise Sirion CLM platform.
• Design scalable Sirion solutions across contract request, authoring, clause and template management, workflow and approvals, repository management, obligations, reporting, analytics, and contract intelligence.
• Define and guide platform architecture, tenant and environment strategy, configuration governance, security, access models, deployment strategy, and release management.
• Design integrations between Sirion and enterprise platforms such as SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, procurement platforms, e-signature solutions, identity platforms, data platforms, and other enterprise applications.
• Evaluate business and technical requirements and determine the right balance between native Sirion capabilities, configuration, integration, extension, and customization.
• Help establish architecture standards that preserve scalability, maintainability, performance, and upgradeability.
• Support contract and metadata migration strategies, data models, reporting architecture, and integration patterns.
• Partner with business, Legal, Procurement, IT, architecture, security, and implementation teams to translate complex requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Lead technical design discussions and challenge proposed solutions when there is a better, simpler, or more scalable approach.
• Prototype and evaluate emerging capabilities rather than simply relying on existing platform patterns.
• Help define the future roadmap for the use of generative AI, contract intelligence, AI agents, automated contract review, intelligent extraction, conversational search, obligation management, and workflow automation within CLM.
• Identify opportunities to connect contract data and intelligence with the broader enterprise technology ecosystem.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to configuration, integration, data, and development team members.

What We're Looking For

• Significant experience designing and implementing enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management solutions.
• Hands-on Sirion implementation experience is strongly preferred and will be a major factor in candidate selection.
• Experience with multiple enterprise-scale CLM implementations, ideally including at least one complex global Sirion deployment.
• Strong understanding of CLM architecture across pre-signature, execution, repository, post-signature, obligation, analytics, and reporting capabilities.
• Deep understanding of enterprise integrations, APIs, data mapping, middleware, authentication, SSO, security, and application architecture.
• Experience integrating CLM with platforms such as SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, DocuSign, Adobe Sign, procurement/S2P systems, ERP platforms, and enterprise data environments.
• Ability to understand both the technical architecture and the underlying contracting process.
• Experience making and defending architecture decisions around configuration versus customization.
• Strong understanding of enterprise SaaS architecture, release management, environment strategy, and technical governance.
• Demonstrated interest and practical experience with AI, LLMs, intelligent document processing, contract analytics, generative AI, or agentic automation.
• Ability to distinguish meaningful AI use cases from technology hype and translate new capabilities into practical enterprise solutions.
• Strong client-facing communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable operating in a complex global enterprise environment with multiple teams, systems, and stakeholders.

Preferred Experience

Experience in pharmaceutical, life sciences, healthcare, or another highly regulated industry is valuable.

Sirion certification or significant hands-on Sirion administration/architecture experience is highly desirable.

Experience with additional CLM technologies such as Icertis, Ironclad, Conga/Apttus, DocuSign CLM, Agiloft, or similar platforms is beneficial because we value candidates who understand the broader CLM technology landscape.

Experience modernizing a legacy contracting ecosystem or migrating from another CLM platform into Sirion is particularly valuable.

The Person We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is technically curious and still enjoys getting into the details.

You should be equally comfortable discussing enterprise architecture with technology leadership, examining an integration or data-flow problem with engineers, working through a difficult CLM design decision with functional teams, and exploring how a new AI capability could change an existing contracting process.

We are especially interested in people who challenge conventional approaches, stay current with emerging technology, and want to help define what the next generation of enterprise CLM looks like.
