Role summary
This role is for a Project Manager focused on implementing Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platforms and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions for legal, procurement, and sales teams. The Project Manager will oversee projects from initiation to completion, ensuring they stay within scope, timeline, and budget. Responsibilities include planning and executing CLM and AI implementations, managing integrations with enterprise systems, overseeing contract data migration, defining AI use cases and testing, and steering projects through governance and security reviews. The role also involves managing stakeholder and vendor relationships, leading change management efforts, and tracking adoption and benefits realization.
About the Role
You will lead end-to-end implementations of CLM platforms and AI solutions for corporate legal, procurement and sales teams. You will own each project from discovery to go-live and adoption, keeping scope, timeline, budget and quality on track.
Projects increasingly combine CLM with generative and agentic AI, such as AI contract review, intelligent intake and automated obligation tracking. You will make sure these are delivered with the right governance, testing and change management, coordinating delivery teams across the US, UK and India.

- Manage relationships with General Counsel, legal operations, procurement, IT and security stakeholders.
- Coordinate CLM and AI vendors, system integrators and offshore delivery teams, holding them to plan and contract.
