    • Maintain comprehensive documentation, including contract decisions, audit trails, and closeout records.

  • Risk Management & Controls
    • Implement and enforce scope control processes to minimize out-of-scope spend.

    • Track issues such as errors, rework, and service deficiencies, and pursue back charges or remediation as appropriate.

    • Monitor subcontracting activities to ensure transparency and compliance.

    • Partner with leadership to proactively manage contractual risks, claims, and disputes.

  • Stakeholder Engagement
    • Serve as the primary interface between IT Product Centers, Business Leaders, and Service Providers.

    • Communicate contract strategy, performance insights, and risks to directors and senior leadership.

    • Train internal stakeholders on contract compliance, financial accountability, and procurement processes.

    • Foster strong, collaborative relationships with MSP leads and key vendors.

  • Process Improvement & Reporting
    • Develop and maintain contract governance processes, including workflows, RACI models, and control frameworks.

    • Leverage tools (e.g., Power BI, Excel, SharePoint) to deliver data-driven insights and reporting dashboards.

    • Drive continuous improvement in contract management practices, vendor governance, and operational efficiency.
