    • Strategic Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams, including sales, product development, and finance, to identify and mitigate legal risks throughout the SaaS lifecycle.
    • Contentious Matters and Dispute Resolution: Support the Head of Legal in managing contentious matters, providing strategic oversight and resolution expertise.
