Job Description
Why Icertis
At Icertis, we believe how we do business matters just as much as what we achieve. Our values-driven culture, combined with our leadership in Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), creates a collaborative, high-energy environment where employees can do meaningful work and grow. Together, we’re on a mission to become the world’s leading contract intelligence platform, and we’re having a lot of fun building it along the way.
Why This Role
Icertis is launching a new Center of Excellence to support our AI-first, legal-centric products. This team will partner directly with enterprise customers, including companies like Microsoft, Accenture, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, to design real-world AI use cases, optimize AI-powered contract review playbooks, and develop custom prompts that bring legal workflows to life. This role blends legal expertise with AI innovation, helping customers streamline contract reviews, strengthen negotiation strategies, and bring greater speed, consistency, and insight to their daily work.
You’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact, shaping both the customer experience and how our product evolves. It’s a dynamic role where you’ll wear several hats: trusted advisor, LegalOps and contracting expert, product specialist, and solution architect. Ultimately, your goal is to help customers unlock the full power of Icertis and drive meaningful success for themselves, their teams, and their organizations.
