Eduardo Pires

Institutional Contracts Manager @Wiley

US

Within the Legal Department at Wiley, I provided end-to-end legal and operational support for high-value, complex commercial agreements with universities, research institutions, and public-sector organizations worldwide. I supported global commercial activities across EMEA, LATAM, and APAC, acting as a strategic legal partner to Sales, Finance and Operations teams.My responsibilities included drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and managing complex institutional, technology, data licensing, and services agreements in a highly regulated, multinational environment. I played a key role in aligning commercial contracting processes with corporate governance, SOX requirements, and internal control frameworks, ensuring auditability, proper approval workflows, and segregation of duties throughout the contract lifecycle.I actively supported international compliance and anti-bribery frameworks, embedding contractual safeguards such as compliance representations, audit rights, and risk-mitigation clauses, while advising stakeholders on cross-border regulatory exposure. I contributed to maintaining audit-ready contract documentation, supporting internal and external audits and driving remediation of compliance findings.Working closely with Sales Operations, I supported the use and governance of Salesforce-based Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) systems, ensuring accurate documentation, traceability, and compliance with internal policies. I also collaborated on GDPR and data protection requirements, aligning contractual obligations with privacy, access control, and data governance standards.Key achievements include negotiating and managing one of Wiley’s most significant global licensing agreements (CAPES – Brazil), balancing commercial objectives with regulatory, financial control, and compliance considerations, and contributing to the development and rollout of standard contractual clauses addressing Artificial Intelligence, ethical use, and regulatory compliance.
