Personally owns and executes Intel's enterprise CLM strategy across multiple platform ecosystems while ensuring coherent integration and preventing duplicative systems.
Establishes and operates governance frameworks that serve as forums for portfolio alignment, escalation, and enterprise decision-making. Implements tiered decision models and intake processes that improve triage, visibility, and decision speed across CAPITL.
Serves as a strategic translator who can walk into rooms of frustrated stakeholders wanting immediate solutions and leave with their trust, documented requirements, and clear understanding of what's possible and why.

Defines key performance indicators and success metrics for the legal technology portfolio, monitors progress through structured governance processes, and reports status to senior CAPITL leadership and enterprise stakeholders.

Showcases early wins and operational value to build stakeholder confidence in Legal Operations solutions, governance, and delivery model while ensuring operational continuity by aligning tools, processes, and stakeholder engagement to business priorities.
The ideal candidate gets energized by making complex systems comprehensible and thrives as a bridge-builder between technical and business domains. They can earn trust with frustrated legal professionals who want AI solutions immediately, document their requirements clearly, and communicate realistic timelines and sequencing logic. They can then translate those business needs into structured, buildable requirements for engineering and automation teams.
This person has ambition rooted in impact, not ego. They understand that being an exceptional force multiplier; making the Director of Technology more effective, making the Head of Global Operations more strategic, making COE partners more successful; is how they earn the right to eventually lead at the enterprise level. They see their success measured by the effectiveness of those around them, not just their individual contributions.
