• Lead end-to-end management of smaller contracts, from preparation to renewal, in collaboration with Procurement.
• Contribute to defining and implementing contract renewal processes, guidelines, and best practices for internal stakeholders.
• Ensure proper documentation and visibility of contract activities (e.g., Confluence one-pagers, renewal summaries).

Contract Analysis & Optimization

• Analyze contract usage (e.g., licenses, infrastructure usage) to identify optimization opportunities and cost-saving initiatives.
• Support tracking of financial commitments vs. actual consumption, highlighting risks and optimization levers.
• Build and maintain simple dashboards or reports (Excel / Power BI as a plus) to provide visibility on contract performance and usage trends.
• Research licensing models, market benchmarks, and alternative options to support optimization and informed decision-making.
• Identify aging or under-optimized contracts and proactively highlight improvement opportunities.

Vendor Interaction & Support
