Project Manager – CLM and AI Implementation

About the Role

You will lead end-to-end implementations of CLM platforms and AI solutions for corporate legal, procurement and sales teams. You will own each project from discovery to go-live and adoption, keeping scope, timeline, budget and quality on track.

Projects increasingly combine CLM with generative and agentic AI, such as AI contract review, intelligent intake and automated obligation tracking. You will make sure these are delivered with the right governance, testing and change management, coordinating delivery teams across the US, UK and India.
