VP, Commercial Contracting & Legal Operations

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: description of role, purpose, context. The posting begins with "Know where you belong! Match Group is a leading provider..." then description of function. Likely "About the role" includes the paragraph about consolidating commercial contracting, leading function, etc. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties: "How You’ll Make An Impact" list. - Requirements: maybe "We Could Be a Match If You" list of qualifications/experience. - Qualifications: maybe J.D. requirement. - Skills: maybe AI-forward, leadership, communication. - Benefits: list under "Why Match Group? Benefits". - Pay: salary ranges given for locations. - Schedule: mention "We operate IRL 3 days/week." Also "based in one of our Match Group offices in the U.S." Might be schedule: hybrid? The posting says "We work together IRL 3 days/week." So schedule: 3 days in office, rest remote? We'll include schedule section with that detail. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce sections with

headings and appropriate content. We need to decide which sections to include. Let's extract content. About the role: The initial paragraph(s) before "How You’ll Make An Impact". Let's capture: "Know where you belong! Match Group is a leading provider of dating products across the globe. Our portfolio includes Tinder, Hinge, Match, Meetic, PlentyOfFish, OkCupid, The League, HER, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. Creating a sense of belonging doesn’t stop at our products - it’s the foundation of every team we hire. When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL 3 days/week. Match Group Legal is consolidating commercial contracting into a single, dedicated function serving our portfolio of brands, including Tinder, Hinge, Match, Plenty of Fish, OkCupid, The League, HER, and others. We're looking for a strategic, hands-on VP-level candidate to scale and lead this function: managing a small team of commercial contracting professionals, and vendor, SaaS/technology, and operations contracting matters across Match Group's global business, and reimagining what commercial contracting looks like with AI in the loop. This is a rare opportunity to help design and effectively scale a function rather than inherit one — consolidating work that today is spread across multiple brands and managers, building the team, tools, and processes from the ground up, and partnering closely with Legal AI Enablement to make this one of the most AI-forward legal functions at Match Group." That's about the role. Responsibilities: The bullet list under "How You’ll Make An Impact". Let's capture each line: - Own commercial contracting globally. Set the strategy for how Match Group drafts, negotiates, and manages procurement, vendor, and SaaS/technology agreements, balancing legal risk with the speed the business needs. - Own the Legal Operations function. Lead the Legal Operations team responsible for our contract lifecycle management, billing, and legal-tech tooling strategy and execution, including deciding how Legal Ops continues to uplevel the global Legal Team operation, putting AI and automation at the center of that strategy. - Reimagine commercial contracting with AI in the loop. Actively rethink how contracting work gets done and execute against that strategy. Leverage the ownership of Legal Operations and partnership from Legal AI Enablement to identify where AI can accelerate and automate stages of review, drafting, negotiation support, and risk triage, and championing adoption across the team. - Support central functions. Extend commercial contracting support beyond the brands to central teams including procurement, workplace experience, finance, real estate, and operations. - Build scalable processes. Develop playbooks, templates, and governance that improve the speed, consistency, and clarity of commercial contracting support across every brand. Then, leverage AI and automated processes to scale against these knowledge bases and templates. - Manage risk and escalation. Identify and escalate legal and business risk in vendor and procurement relationships, exercising judgment on when broader legal or business stakeholder alignment is warranted. - Partner across the business. Serve as a senior point of contact for procurement, finance, and vendor management, building trusted relationships with stakeholders across Match Group. We'll put these as

• . Requirements: The "We Could Be a Match If You" list. Let's capture each bullet: - You have 15+ years of experience in commercial contracting, procurement, or vendor management functions, including significant negotiation and people-management experience. - You have substantial experience managing or leading a Legal Operations function, ideally for a global Legal Team. - You understand the Legal Ops industry, common practices, and where Legal Ops trends are heading and you are excited to uplevel a Legal Ops team, especially by levearing AI and increased automation. (Note typo "levearing" but we keep as is.) - You are a strong leader, communicator, and collaborator. - You are invested in growing and developing people, including that you have experience leading and mentoring attorneys and building high performing teams. - You are a strategic, solutions-oriented thinker who can assess risk clearly and communicate in the context of business goals. - You are intellectually curious, creative, and have a drive to win for the business and for your team. - You have in-house experience at a technology company, and thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment or multi-brand or multi-business-unit organization and are energized by working across a complex global organization. - You have deep experience negotiating and structuring SaaS, technology licensing, procurement, and other vendor agreements at scale. - You are genuinely AI-forward: you use AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, contract AI platforms) in your own work today, and you're energized by reimagining how contracting gets done with AI in the loop. - You have a track record of building or scaling a function and leading through change: standing up teams, templates, playbooks, and processes in a fast-moving environment. - You bring strong business judgment and executive presence, and collaborate easily with procurement, finance, real estate, and workplace teams. We'll put these under Requirements. Qualifications: J.D. requirement: "J.D. from an accredited institution and an active law license (in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction) required." Also maybe "You're comfortable with real autonomy — this is a newly consolidated function, and you'll help define how it operates." That could be part of Qualifications or Requirements. But we already have many requirements; we could treat J.D. as Qualifications. Skills: Could include leadership, communication, AI-forward, strategic thinking, etc. But we already have many skill-like items in Requirements. Might be redundant. However we need to include a Skills section only if there is specific content not already covered. The posting includes "You are a strong leader, communicator, and collaborator." etc. Those are skills. But we could still create a Skills section summarizing: leadership, communication, collaboration, strategic thinking, AI proficiency, negotiation, etc. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can list the specific skill statements from the posting. Since many are already in Requirements, we could still include them but might duplicate. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications and Skills into one? But we need to follow headings: we can include sections only if they have real specific content. We could decide to include Requirements (covers experience and qualifications) and Qualifications (J.D.) and Skills (maybe AI-forward, leadership). However that may be thin. Better: Use Requirements for experience and qualifications, and Skills for specific skill statements like leadership, communication, AI proficiency, strategic thinking, negotiation, etc. But many of those are already in the Requirements list. However we could split: Requirements list the experience years, managing Legal Ops, in-house tech experience, track record building functions. Skills list the soft skills and AI-forward, leadership, communication, strategic thinking, etc. That seems reasonable. Let's extract skill-specific statements: - You are a strong leader, communicator, and collaborator. - You are invested in growing and developing people, including that you have experience leading and mentoring attorneys and building high performing teams. - You are a strategic, solutions-oriented thinker who can assess risk clearly and communicate in the context of business goals. - You are intellectually curious, creative, and have a drive to win for the business and for your team. - You are genuinely AI-forward: you use AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, contract AI platforms) in your own work today, and you're energized by reimagining how contracting gets done with AI in the loop. - You bring strong business judgment and executive presence, and collaborate easily with procurement, finance, real estate, and workplace teams. These could be Skills. Now Benefits: list under "Why Match Group? Benefits". We'll capture each bullet: - Mind & Body – Medical, mental health, and wellness benefits to support your overall health and well-being - Financial Wellness – Competitive compensation, 100% employer match on 401k contributions up to 10% (cap at $10,000), as well as an employee stock purchase program to help you feel supported in your financial security - Unplug – Generous PTO and 14 paid holidays so you can unplug - Career – Annual training allowance for professional development and ERG membership opportunities and events so you feel connected and empowered in your work - Family – Families come in all shapes and sizes so we offer 20 weeks of 100% paid parental leave, fertility, adoption, and child care resources, as well as pet insurance and discounts - Company Gatherings – We host company events where our employees get to know each other and build a sense of connection and belonging! We'll put as
  • . Pay: salary ranges: - "This salary range is reflective of Los Angeles, CA. The salary range for New York, NY is $325,000 - $350,000. The salary range for Dallas, TX is $285,000 - $310,000. For all other locations, this salary may be subject to a geographic adjustment (according to a specific city and state), if an authorization is granted to work outside of the location listed in this posting." We need to present Pay section with that info. Schedule: mention "We work together IRL 3 days/week." Also "The position will be based in one of our Match Group offices in the U.S. (San Francisco, Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Dallas or New York City) and report to our SVP of Legal." That's location, not schedule. Schedule: hybrid 3 days in office. We'll include schedule section with that detail. Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc. Remove those. Now produce HTML. Structure:
