Coordinating internal review and approval of SOWs with the Sales Team, Sales Support, and any other stakeholders as required. Ensuring SOWs are signed by both parties and are stored and tracked according to team standards, ensuring the SOW is accurate and ready for signatures. Proactively identifying and flagging any ambiguous, incomplete, or high-risk SOW elements that could impact downstream implementation.
