What will your typical day look like?

In this role, you will be responsible for rolling out robust contract management processes, overseeing their effective implementation, and ensuring ongoing compliance. Your day-to-day activities will include reviewing proposals and contract documents for your contract managed engagements, identifying and analyzing potential risks, and developing strategies to address them.

Leveraging your expertise in contract management, you will actively manage and monitor contract performance, ensure alignment between contractual obligations and operational practices, mitigate risk, and collaborate with stakeholders to negotiate favorable terms, when required.

Additionally, you will drive continuous improvement by regularly assessing contract management processes, identifying areas for enhancement, and implementing best practices to strengthen risk mitigation and operational efficiency. This is a strategic position aimed at proactively managing and addressing contractual risk and issues and fostering a culture of ongoing improvement through collaboration across the eco-system, and diligent contract oversight.
