Associate Director Contract Manager

This role works cross functionally with the Contract Executive, the Finance Manager, and the Lines of Business leads, and the Vendor Equivalents to assure that the contract is being correctly executed. This includes balancing the Vendor’s behaviors to help ensure the delivery of services as defined in the contract.  When the engagement is large or involves many contracts, the Contract Manager may supervise one or more Contract Administrators (or other support staff including document librarian, financial support).

The Lead Contract Manager must have a deep grasp of the contract structure and terms and the relationship of the services to the business operations they support.   Importantly, this includes an understanding of the contractual subtleties and leverage points that help ensure the realization of the business case value.   This calls for a closer working relationship between the organization supported by the vendor contract and business operations team than is provided by Central Sourcing, legal or other sourcing related functions.

The Contract Manger is accountable for managing all aspects of the Firm’s contractual agreement(s) with the Vendor on behalf of the Firm and the business units of the Firm. The Contract Manager works in close collaboration with Legal, the Central Sourcing Team, Service Management, Service Delivery and Finance to maintain a thorough knowledge of all aspects of the contract, modify the contract as needed, educate the Firm’s leadership on the obligations of both Parties (Firm and Vendor) within the overall agreement, report on the status of these obligations, manage issues related to the contract, and assist in interpreting the contract as needed.   The Contract Manger supervises Contract Administrators, and has primary responsibility for negotiating amendments to the Contract.  In cases where contract terms are in dispute between the parties this role is the subject matter expert advocate for the Firm.

The Contract Manager needs to have a finger on the pulse of the contract and performance to be most effective.
