In addition, this person will act as a main contact for external legal advisors, support litigation file administration, help manage legal budgets, and contribute to process improvements and document management. The role will assist with regulatory submissions, licensing-related records, and responses to compliance inquiries, working closely with internal teams and counsel as needed.

Candidates should have at least eight years of relevant experience, strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to handle confidential information with care.
