contract manager
Contract managers oversee the respect of awarded contracts to ensure that services are delivered as foreseen and that each step of the delivery is properly documented. They act as the main point of contact for suppliers on contractual matters and report back to their leadership. They implement financial and operational controls and ensure compliance with all reporting requirements.
