- Minimum of 3 years of experience in derivatives documentation, with hands-on negotiation of ISDA Master Agreements.
- Deep familiarity with key ISDA provisions, including events of default, termination events, close-out netting, and collateral terms.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with meticulous attention to detail.
- Strong analytical capabilities and ability to translate legal expertise into actionable feedback for AI systems.
- Experience working with cross-disciplinary teams in fast-paced environments.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Prior exposure to AI, legal tech, or training initiatives.
Why Join:
- This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of law and technology.
- You will help define how AI is developed for a new generation of legal practitioners.
- You will apply your experience in a high-impact research environment.
