Job Description

Ubisoft Romania is seeking an IT Contract Project Manager to support the governance and optimization of IT contracts across Infrastructure & Platforms (I&P).

This role focuses on driving operational excellence in contract lifecycle management, ensuring that contract renewals are anticipated, structured, and optimized. Acting as a key partner to IT Vendor Management, Procurement, and Finance teams, the role will help improve contract visibility, support decision-making through data insights, and enable better cost and usage optimization.

What you’ll do

Contract Lifecycle Coordination & Project Management

• Own and drive the renewal tracking and planning for a portfolio of IT contracts (timeline management, stakeholder alignment, risk anticipation).
• Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders (IT, Procurement, Legal, Finance) to ensure smooth and timely contract renewals.
• Support business teams in preparing contract renewals, ensuring they challenge scope, usage, and commercial conditions.
• Lead end-to-end management of smaller contracts, from preparation to renewal, in collaboration with Procurement.
• Contribute to defining and implementing contract renewal processes, guidelines, and best practices for internal stakeholders.
• Ensure proper documentation and visibility of contract activities (e.g., Confluence one-pagers, renewal summaries).

 

Contract Analysis & Optimization

• Analyze contract usage (e.g., licenses, infrastructure usage) to identify optimization opportunities and cost-saving initiatives.
• Support tracking of financial commitments vs. actual consumption, highlighting risks and optimization levers.
• Build and maintain simple dashboards or reports (Excel / Power BI as a plus) to provide visibility on contract performance and usage trends.
• Research licensing models, market benchmarks, and alternative options to support optimization and informed decision-making.
• Identify aging or under-optimized contracts and proactively highlight improvement opportunities.

 

Vendor Interaction & Support

• Manage day-to-day interactions with smaller vendors and support vendor follow-ups.
• Participate in vendor discussions and renewals in collaboration with Procurement.
• Contribute to preparation activities for larger strategic contracts (data gathering, usage insights, internal alignment).

Qualifications

What you’ll bring:

• Proven experience in IT project management, contract management, procurement, or a related field.
• Experience working in cross-functional environments (IT, Finance, Procurement, Legal).
• Exposure to contract lifecycle management and/or vendor-related topics.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple timelines, stakeholders, and priorities.
• Ability to structure processes and bring clarity to complex or unstructured topics.

Analytical & Data Skills

• Experience with Excel required; exposure to Power BI or data visualization tools is a plus.
• Interest in understanding license models, consumption-based pricing, and cost optimization levers.
   

Contract & Business Understanding

• Basic understanding of contractual terms, vendor processes, and procurement workflows.
• Ability to support contract renewals by challenging usage, scope, and business needs.
• Awareness of negotiation processes is a plus (no direct negotiation ownership required).
