The Senior Contracts Manager will mentor and develop Contract Managers, establish best practices, and ensure alignment with company standards while partnering with executive leadership, project teams, and legal.

- Serve as the subject matter expert in contract interpretation, providing guidance on complex commercial and contractual issues.
- Review and interpret prime contracts, subcontracts, and key amendments to identify risks, obligations, and strategic opportunities.
- Advise project and executive leadership on contractual rights, exposures, and entitlement strategies.
- Provide oversight on dispute avoidance and resolution strategies, including support for claims development and defense.
Process & Organizational Excellence
- Establish and enforce best practices in document control, contract administration, and documentation defensibility to promote consistency, completeness, effective and efficient organization, version control, auditability, and accessibility.
- Ensure project teams consistently meet contractual notice provisions and compliance requirements, including identification, documentation, and execution of changes.
- In conjunction with project teams and Change Management team, guide development of change order narratives, delay analyses, and claim documentation.
- Drive consistency in reporting, dashboards, and tracking of contractual risks and obligations.
- Lead continuous improvement initiatives to enhance contract management processes and tools.
- Ensure alignment of contract management practices with corporate standards and legal requirements.
Risk Management & Commercial Support
- Proactively identify contractual and commercial risks across the project portfolio and recommend mitigation strategies.
- Partner with Project Controls, Legal, and Risk teams to align contract strategy with cost, schedule, and legal considerations.
- Support executive decision-making with insights derived from documentation trends, claims exposure, and compliance gaps.
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Serve as a key liaison between operations, project management, legal, Change Management team, and executive leadership.
