  • Acting as a point of expertise for contracting processes and compliance
  • Supporting contract extensions, changes, and lifecycle activity
  • Ensuring data accuracy, documentation quality, and timely follow-ups
  • Producing and maintaining operational reports and contractor updates
  • Providing cover and continuity for contract recruitment activity when required

Who we’re looking for
