Kirsten Hatch

I am a contract analyst and legal operations professional with over nine years of experience managing, analyzing, and optimizing contracts in highly regulated environments. I combine legal training and an MBA to ensure contracts align with policy, financial controls, and regulatory requirements.

At Intel I drafted, reviewed, and managed high volumes of agreements while maintaining organized records to support approval workflows, execution, reporting, and audit readiness. I translated complex contract language into clear guidance for non-legal stakeholders and partnered with finance, compliance, and operations to manage risk and financial reconciliation.

I led initiatives that reduced contract review cycle times by 22%, cut processing time by 30%, and increased contract compliance by 50% through intake, tracking, workflow, and data-driven improvements. I also improved financial reporting accuracy and developed dashboards and metrics to support leadership decision-making.

I am detail-focused, analytical, and customer-service oriented, with strengths in process improvement, cross-functional collaboration, and contract lifecycle management. I seek roles where I can drive operational accuracy, transparency, and measurable efficiencies.
