What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote or hybrid role that allows me to leverage my legal expertise in contract negotiation and compliance, while contributing to a dynamic team focused on strategic growth.

I am a detail-oriented Legal and Compliance professional with over 5 years of experience in regulatory compliance, contract negotiation, and corporate governance. My expertise lies in drafting, evaluating, and managing contract lifecycle processes to ensure compliance with industry regulations while mitigating legal risks. I have successfully provided guidance to senior leadership on business development agreements and service-level agreements, ensuring that all contracts align with legal standards and best practices.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong skill set in KYC compliance, GDPR, and data protection in contracts. My role as a Legal Compliance Associate has allowed me to negotiate and finalize contract lifecycle management processes, conduct corporate compliance audits, and lead stakeholder management initiatives. I am passionate about optimizing processes and implementing risk-based strategies that enhance regulatory oversight and minimize legal exposure.
