The Contracts Content Team (CCT) is a group of lawyers specialised in contracting, who are responsible for drafting, reviewing, and advising on a wide array of contracting matters that are typical for the life sciences industry. Daily we focus on developing core template materials for business-related contracts. The main aim of the team is to standardise our processes for contract drafting and storage, including supporting AZ’s automation initiatives.    

Who are we looking for?

Currently we are seeking a Contracts Content Editor – a person who will support the editorial design of the contract’s templates. Main responsibility will be for reviewing and editing templates, to ensure their high quality and compliance with internal company standards. Daily work will also involve introducing minor changes into the templates, configuring texts, and preparing them for further coding into the contract management system used in AZ (called Contracts +). The successful candidate will collaborate with the lawyers and technical support peers to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the templates we offer.
