This will involve project design, coordinating team resources, setting up monitoring and evaluation processes as well as stakeholder management and communications. You will also lead user acceptance testing and take responsibility for the implementation phase across the organisation including training and support for all countries. Important will be the ability to ensure the contract management system meets business needs, resources are managed effectively, deadlines are met and work is of the highest standard.
