- Establish clear stages for the contract lifecycle (drafting, negotiation, execution, renewal, etc.).

- Implement tracking mechanisms to monitor key milestones, such as renewal dates, deliverables, and payment schedules.

- Introduce or optimize contract management tools/software to automate and streamline the process.


Contract Review and Approval

- Lead the review and approval process for IT contracts, ensuring legal, financial, and operational compliance.

- Collaborate with legal and finance teams to ensure contracts are in line with company policies and regulatory requirements.

- Identify and mitigate risks within contracts, including clauses related to service level agreements (SLAs), intellectual property, data security, and liability.


Risk and Issue Management

- Create and implement processes for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks related to IT contracts.

- Develop issue resolution procedures for addressing contract disputes, non-compliance, or underperformance.

- Define clear escalation paths for unresolved contract-related issues.


Contract Renewals, Amendments, and Termination

- Establish procedures for timely contract renewals, renegotiations, and amendments, ensuring terms remain aligned with evolving business needs.

- Develop processes for the proper termination of contracts, mitigating risks and ensuring adherence to termination clauses.


Qualifications


- Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Law, Information Technology, or a related field. A law degree (JD) or certifications in contract management (e.g., NCMA or IACCM) is a plus.

- 7+ years of experience in contract management in IT.

- Proven experience in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating IT contracts (consulting, software, hardware, etc.).

- Experience developing and implementing contract management frameworks and processes from the ground up is highly preferred.

- Strong understanding of IT contracts, including software licensing, consulting agreements, and hardware procurement.

- Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify risks and propose solutions.

- Knowledge of relevant legal and regulatory compliance standards (e.g., data privacy laws, intellectual property laws).
