Key Responsibilities
  • Serve as the primary legal resource and product legal owner for assigned enterprise platform offerings, operating as an integrated generalist and single-threaded owner of legal strategy for those products.
  • Embed with product, technology, implementation, support, sales, compliance, security, privacy and business leaders to provide legal support from early-stage ideation through launch, production support and sunset or migration.

  • Support enterprise platform contracting architecture, including FIS Terms & Conditions, orders, solution terms, pricing attachments, product specifications, support policies and related client-facing documentation.
  • Ensure platform contract terms and operational commitments are aligned with approved enterprise positions on security, privacy, subcontracting, service levels, audit, vendor management and incident response.
  • Partner with product leadership to define legal launch readiness, including required approvals, contract readiness, go-to-market artifacts, template availability and internal alignment on product-specific legal risks.
  • Maintain deep knowledge of platform functionality, roadmap, revenue priorities, sales pipeline, implementation model, support obligations, vendors, client expectations and regulatory context.
  • Identify and coordinate legal dependencies across privacy, data protection, security, intellectual property, regulatory, consumer protection, commercial and litigation issues.
  • Support vendor and partner work where platform knowledge is required, including review of vendor relationships, critical third-party dependencies, pass-through obligations, subcontractor responsibilities and change-management issues.
  • Attend sales pipeline calls, support RFP responses and negotiate platform-related commercial agreements while integrating product knowledge, regulatory awareness and commercial judgment.
  • Manage template updates and release discipline for platform terms and referenced documentation, including coordinating publication timing, version control and retirement of outdated forms.
  • Advise on client audits, security reviews, penetration testing requests and vendor risk management processes, coordinating with the designated teams and ensuring client-facing positions follow approved guidance.
  • Support disputes and operational issues involving platform offerings, including change management, specifications, notice obligations, cure mechanics, third-party dependencies and factual development for litigation or dispute resolution.
  • Develop training and knowledge-transfer materials for internal legal colleagues, sellers and business teams, including annotated contract documentation, fallback positions, non-negotiables, product overviews, escalation triggers and negotiation trends.
  • Establish backup coverage and maintain a current product counsel knowledge base so platform legal support remains seamless during leave, transitions or succession planning.

  • Ability to coordinate effectively across legal specialists, compliance, security, privacy, product, sales and business leadership to deliver unified and practical legal guidance.
  • Proven ability to manage high-volume, business-critical legal work while identifying process improvements and scalable contracting solutions.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting enterprise platforms used by banks, credit unions, payment providers, financial institutions or other regulated clients.
  • Familiarity with client security reviews, audit requests, third-party penetration testing processes, vendor risk management and recurring enterprise security negotiation issues.
  • Experience with API products, platform integrations, specifications, pricing metrics, pass-through fees or third-party IP indemnity structures.
  • Experience creating or maintaining contracting stacks that include master terms, orders, solution terms, pricing attachments, product specifications and operational policies.
