The role provides structure, visibility, and control across IT‑related contractual arrangements, supporting compliance with Element Six governance frameworks and enabling effective supplier engagement.

Maintain accurate records of IT contracts, including key commercial terms, rate structures, and supplier details

Track contract milestones, expiry dates, renewals, and notice periods to ensure continuity and compliance

Support amendments to contracts resulting from rate reviews or negotiated changes

Act as the coordination point between IT teams and supporting functions (Procurement, Legal, Finance) on contract matters

Ensure contract actions, including rate changes or extensions, align with internal approvals, delegated authority, and governance requirements
Coordinate contract‑related communication with IT suppliers and service providers
Support resolution of commercial or administrative contract issues with suppliers

Drive negotiations with suppliers to secure well positioned, competitive rates, working within approved frameworks and in collaboration with Procurement, IT and Legal where required

Ensure agreed rate changes and commercial adjustments are accurately documented and contractually reflected

Track supplier compliance with agreed commercial terms, renewals, and documentation requirements
Support compliance with Element Six commercial, legal, and IT governance frameworks
Ensure contracts follow approved templates, approval thresholds, pricing models, and documentation standards
Identify and escalate contractual, commercial, or pricing risks, lapses, or non‑compliance

Produce regular reports on IT contract status, renewals, rate positioning, and compliance metrics

Support audits and reviews by providing accurate contract documentation and evidence

Contribute to continuous improvements in IT contract coordination, commercial visibility, and governance processes

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Commercial Management, Administration, or a related field

Experience or training in contract administration, vendor coordination, or commercial governance (advantageous)
Experience managing IT contracts
Experience in contract coordination, contract administration, commercial governance, or supplier administration roles
Experience working with multiple internal stakeholders across operational and governance functions
Exposure to contract lifecycle management, renewals, and commercial documentation
Experience supporting or coordinating supplier discussions on commercial terms or rate positioning
Strong experience with documentation control and structured governance processes
Strong organisational and coordination capability
High attention to detail and governance discipline
Commercial awareness, particularly around rate structures and controls
Clear written and verbal communication skills
Ability to manage complex information and multiple priorities
