Overview
Our client's Information Technology Department is seeking a highly organized, experienced IT Contracts Manager to support the County's SPLOST-funded technology projects.

The ideal candidate brings 3-5+ years of IT contract management experience, excels at balancing multiple deadlines, demonstrates strong initiative, and is an Excel power user capable of maintaining and improving financial tracking tools. This role supports a small, overextended team and plays a critical part in streamlining processes, maintaining audit-ready documentation, and improving contract lifecycle throughput.

Support redlining or preliminary vendor negotiations as permitted (may change pending attorney guidance).
Download, review, and organize terms from state contracts or national cooperative agreements; coordinate creation of purchasing instruments where required.
Facilitate signature collection and ensure executed documents move through the appropriate approval workflow.
Maintain accurate storage of contract packets and metadata in the County repository (Hyland OnBase).
Renewals, Amendments & Compliance
Track multi-year contracts (typically 3-5 years) to ensure timely renewals and prevent contract lapse.
Monitor spending patterns and identify when amendments are required due to scope or cost changes.
Proactively engage with project managers to gather renewal decisions, invoice approvals, and contract change details.
Serve as a process partner to identify inefficiencies, support procedural improvements, and help reduce contract review backlog for County attorneys.
SPLOST Financial Tracking & Reporting
Maintain and update the SPLOST funding spreadsheet(s) used to track balances across seven SPLOST funding buckets and 40-50 active IT projects.
Record purchase orders, spending activity, contract obligations, and cost variances.
Produce monthly executive-level reports summarizing:
Project funding status
Spend-to-date
Remaining balances
Forecasted needs
Variances between estimated vs. actual costs
Serve as an early-warning mechanism for budget concerns or upcoming deadlines.
Work closely with project managers to provide financial visibility and strategic updates.
Process Improvement & Operational Support
Help refine and streamline contract management processes in alignment with new attorney directives.
Recommend improvements to financial tracking spreadsheets-logic, accuracy, clarity, automation, and structure.
Maintain required internal lists, logs, and tracking forms for all SPLOST-related contract submissions.
Support internal accountability and timeliness by reducing reliance on high-volume email reminders in favor of targeted, proactive touchpoints with managers.
Required Qualifications
3-5+ years of experience in IT contract management or procurement (non-negotiable; candidate must hit the ground running).
Demonstrated experience managing contract routing, vendor communication, legal coordination, and procurement workflows.
Strong understanding of IT contracts (hardware, software, subscriptions, professional services).
