You will be able to collaborate with any stakeholder that is relevant to the projects you choose to lead. Other members of the Legal team will support you and set you up for success by helping you adapt quickly to Nitro’s culture and work methods. Hard Skills We'll Be Looking For
Strong written communication skills and structure, demonstrated through experience leading complex projects with multiple stakeholders
Great negotiations skills
Good knowledge on technical aspects of doing business as a SaaS company

Soft Skills That Would Make You An Excellent Fit
Fun to work with, stimulated by sophisticated interactions
