Defined solutions for internal content deal and contract management tools to generate competitive deal insights and scale workflows. Structured a systematic design for adoption and operationalization of new Chain of Title feature for hundreds of existing and new legal users.

• Examined and expanded product specifications for a launched feature that supported the integration of thousands of new Chain of Title documents in the internal contract management system. Organized effective training sessions for over 20 performance-driven content legal teams on the new feature, streamlining workflows and offering a long-term archive of these assets.

• Defined a long-term product function vision to transform cross-functional collaboration between the Netflix Studio and its production partners across genres and global regions.

• Manage and update the Contract Management System (CMS) across a broad range of projects. These include contractual analysis for changes in legal strategy, backfill contracts to reflect data structure updates, intake all incoming contracts (~1k per month), and hire a full-time employee and contractor to scale with the increasing volume of contracts, metadata, and downstream dependencies.

• Arranged effective development programs for new personnel to boost knowledge, efficiency, and understanding of the internal contract management system workflow, functionality, and governance.
