Issue timely alerts and reminders to relevant stakeholders ahead of contract renewal, expiry, or milestone dates. Coordinate internal approvals and signature workflows, ensuring contracts are executed by the correct authorized signatories. Monitor contract performance milestones and flag non-compliance or deviations from agreed terms to the Contracts Manager.

Support the identification and documentation of contractual risks, liabilities, and obligations, escalating material concerns appropriately. Maintain accurate records to support audit readiness and internal compliance reviews. Assist in dispute resolution processes by locating relevant contract documentation, tracking correspondence, and preparing summaries for the legal team. Tender & Procurement Support Assist in the preparation and coordination of tender documents, RFPs, RFQs, and related submissions in line with company procurement standards. Track tender deadlines and coordinate cross-functional input from relevant departments to ensure timely and compliant submissions. Maintain tender documentation records and assist with post-bid review processes. Supplier & Vendor Coordination Support the administration of supplier and vendor contracts, including tracking delivery against SLAs and flagging performance issues. Liaise with internal departments (procurement, operations, finance) to gather required information for contract preparation and execution. Assist in organizing and preparing materials for supplier performance review meetings. Reporting & Documentation Prepare regular contract status reports covering active agreements, upcoming renewals, expiries, and outstanding actions.
