Contract Manager experienced in SaaS, commercial agreements, and risk-focused contract lifecycle management.
What I'm looking for
I am a Contract Manager who specializes in drafting, negotiating, and administering SaaS, vendor, and commercial agreements across regulated environments. I streamline contracting workflows to accelerate deal execution while maintaining strong risk controls and compliance.
At Signifyd I manage enterprise contracts supporting fraud protection and payment guarantee platforms, standardizing templates and approval workflows to reduce turnaround time. I partner with Procurement and Finance to drive favorable commercial terms and cost efficiency across SaaS and service categories.
Previously, I negotiated commercial and SME agreements at Visa and improved contract governance through clause libraries, verification controls, and audit-ready reviews. I have supported healthcare and clinical agreements and implemented Salesforce-driven intake and template processes to improve consistency.
I hold an LL.M. in Corporate, Commercial & Trade Law and bring a cross-functional, detail-oriented approach to contract lifecycle management, risk assessment, and stakeholder collaboration to support scalable business operations.
