Serve as the main contracts contact for project managers, finance, and other departments: gather deal requirements, explain contract terms in plain language, and coordinate internal approvals.
Use and learn VaynerX’s AI-powered tools to help draft, review, and compare contracts, and provide feedback to improve these tools and their workflows.
Manage the contract lifecycle from intake through signature, including tracking contract status, key dates, renewals, and obligations, and keeping accurate records in our internal systems.
Maintain, update, and improve our standard form agreements, templates, clause libraries, and negotiation playbooks, helping make contracting processes simpler and more efficient.
