As a Lead Contract Manager for IDC Contracts, you will drive programmatic solutions to emerging industry and market shifts while supporting complex contract deal formation and administration. This role is critical for ensuring policy compliance, improving business processes, and managing day-to-day operations at a program level.
You will direct the overall contract management function, developing custom contracting strategies and first-of-kind product and deal solutions. Your work will involve managing contracts tooling solutions, fostering internal and external stakeholder relationships, and resolving complex issues. You will partner with business leads to navigate complex operations and Capital Improvement initiatives involving significant spend and risk, while driving cross-functional efforts to contain risk and costs.
A key part of your day involves developing and continuously improving deal-to-contract strategies and procedures. You will collaborate with cross-functional business leads to align new contract strategies with project delivery strategies, respond to market conditions such as supply chain risks and tariffs, and evolve contracting strategies including bonus incentive structures and risk transfer mechanisms. You will also manage budget planning, financial commitment monitoring, and the development of contract templates and clause libraries.
Acting as a vital liaison between the business and Legal teams, you will drive the resolution of business and legal risk issues during contract formation, negotiation, and post-execution administration. You will coordinate with Legal, Risk Management, Corporate Contracts Governance, and Compliance teams to resolve key business issues. Additionally, you will provide mentorship and internal support to the extended Contracts team, sharing best practices and training peers to enhance the quality and efficiency of contracting processes.
You will continuously examine existing policies and procedures to optimize the end-to-end process from source-to-pay, ensuring compliance and audit readiness. This role requires managing and coordinating various initiatives with programmatic, national, or global implications, and partnering with other Contracts Leads to monitor and refine Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Quarterly and Annual Business Reviews.
