• Serving as an analytical partner to Netflix counsel, providing data-driven insights to manage relationships and spend with outside counsel and adjacent legal vendors.
• Partnering with counsel to draft, review, and negotiate engagement letters and pricing agreements, ensuring terms are favorable and align with Netflix's billing guidelines.
• Actively tracking and enforcing compliance with billing guidelines and negotiated discount arrangements, working with internal teams and external vendors to resolve discrepancies.
• Developing and modeling innovative pricing structures (e.g., Alternative Fee Arrangements, blended rates, caps) and clearly communicating the ROI and strategic advantages of these models to legal and other cross-functional partners.
• Conducting in-depth market research and data mining on legal spend, matter budgets, law firm rates, and vendor performance to identify trends and opportunities for improvement.
• Translating complex data analysis and financial models into clear, actionable recommendations for stakeholders at all levels, including legal leadership and cross-functional leaders.
• Driving the adoption and enhancement of tooling and advancements in legal spend management, working to automate and refine our processes.
