  • Are comfortable and confident in front of customers and senior stakeholders in live settings
  • Have substantive knowledge of software agreements, reseller agreements, services agreements, strategic partnerships, and general contract terms
  • Understand what matters most in a contract, when to be flexible, and when to hold firm
