• AI & Automation Integration: Oversee the implementation of AI-driven capabilities, such as automated clause extraction, risk scoring, and generative AI for contract drafting.
• Integration Oversight: Work with technical leads to design API integrations between the CLM and enterprise systems like CRM, ERP, and Data Warehouse.
• Product Lifecycle Ownership: Manage the end-to-end development cycle from initial feasibility research and prototyping to beta testing and final launch.
