Contract Manager

Are you the Contract Manager who ensures that contracts are accurate, files are complete, and processes run smoothly?

As a Contract Manager at HeadFirst Group, you’ll play a key role in placing thousands of external professionals with our clients. As part of the Contracting & Compliance team, you’ll work with professionals, suppliers, clients, and colleagues to ensure that agreements are properly documented, that files comply with applicable laws and regulations, and that the entire contracting process runs smoothly. This role requires a combination of accuracy, a customer-focused mindset, and the ability to see the big picture.

Your Impact as a Contract Manager

As a Contract Manager, you are responsible for the contract process involving external professionals, from onboarding and contract drafting to amendments, renewals, and terminations. You monitor the quality and completeness of contracts and files and ensure that follow-up processes—such as time tracking, invoicing, and payments—run smoothly. In addition, you answer questions about contracts, compliance, and the deployment of external professionals, and you identify risks or bottlenecks in a timely manner.

Because laws and regulations governing the hiring of external staff are constantly changing, this role also offers you ample opportunity to further develop your knowledge and build up more and more specialized expertise.
