• Leverage AI tools to accelerate contract review, redlining, and risk identification—SeekOut expects every team member to integrate AI into their daily workflows to maximize efficiency and output.
• Use AI-powered analytics to identify patterns in contract negotiations, flag non-standard terms, and generate insights that improve playbook effectiveness over time.

• Working understanding of data privacy fundamentals (GDPR, CCPA) as they relate to commercial contracts and DPAs.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage a high volume of contracts across multiple stakeholders simultaneously.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain contract terms in plain language to non-legal stakeholders.
• Proven experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, and IT teams.
• Comfortable presenting AI/automation value in regulated enterprise environments (data privacy, model transparency, change management).
• Demonstrated comfort with AI tools for document review, drafting, or legal operations; enthusiasm for pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in a contracts function.
• Paralegal certification or bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent practical experience is welcome.
• Familiarity with InfoSec standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and security review processes is a plus.
