What You'll Be Doing
This isn't your average administrative role. As a Digital & Information Technology Contract Administrator, you'll be a critical player in supporting indirect procurement activities within the IT space. Think of yourself as the person who keeps the gears turning smoothly between vendors, contracts, and internal stakeholders.
Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Here's a closer look at what you can expect:
Vendor & Contract Management
- Create, maintain, and finalize bidder lists for indirect procurement activities
- Coordinate contract execution and maintain accurate contract records
- Coordinate IT contract reviews for new orders and suppliers alongside the IT Contract Manager and Legal team
- Produce contract consumption reporting and track software contract usage
Procurement & RFx Support
- Conduct market research to support sourcing decisions
- Support the RFP process and manage the full bidding lifecycle
- Lead competitive bidding exercises, including evaluation coordination and cross-functional collaboration with business lines
Reporting & Analytics
- Deliver vendor performance reporting
- Prepare monthly procurement reporting
- Import usage data for top software titles to provide trending insights
- Produce services contract burn-down reporting
Problem-Solving & Process Improvement
- Resolve invoice discrepancies, including PO/SOW revisions when needed
- Perform complex expediting duties
- Support continuous improvement initiatives and associated change management
- Handle additional Sourcing, Indirect Procurement, and Vendor Management Office duties as assigned
This role requires someone who can juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball. You'll need to be comfortable switching between analytical reporting, vendor communications, and contract lifecycle management: sometimes all in the same day.
What We're Looking For
Let's talk qualifications. This is a mid-to-senior level position, so we're looking for candidates who bring both experience and the right skill set to the table.
Required Experience & Skills
Experience Level
- 5 years of related experience in procurement, contract administration, or vendor management
- Minimum 2 years of experience performing duties comparable to a Contract Administrator III
Technical Skills
- Experience with ServiceNow Procurement and Contracts modules (this is a must-have)
- Technical proficiency and the ability to learn new systems quickly
- Familiarity with RFx processes and contract lifecycle workflows
Soft Skills
- Strong written and verbal communication abilities
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
- Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
- Basic contract construct and negotiation skills
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
If you've worked in IT procurement or vendor management before, you'll have a significant advantage. Understanding the nuances of software licensing, SaaS contracts, and IT services agreements will help you hit the ground running.
Education & Certifications
Education Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Accounting, or a related field
Preferred Certifications
- ITIL Foundations (or higher)
While the ITIL certification is listed as preferred rather than required, having it on your resume will definitely make you stand out. ITIL certification demonstrates your understanding of IT service management best practices: knowledge that directly applies to vendor performance management and contract lifecycle work.
Why This Role Matters in 2026
IT procurement has evolved dramatically over the past few years. According to industry research, organizations are now managing an average of 130+ SaaS applications: and that number continues to grow. This explosion of software tools means companies need skilled professionals who can:
- Track software consumption and identify cost-saving opportunities
- Manage vendor relationships effectively
- Ensure contracts align with actual usage patterns
- Navigate complex procurement processes with precision
As a Contract Administrator in this space, you're not just pushing papers. You're helping organizations optimize their technology investments, reduce waste, and build stronger vendor partnerships. It's strategic work that has real impact on the bottom line.

-
Try Before You Commit: You get to experience the company culture, team dynamics, and day-to-day responsibilities before making a long-term commitment.
-
Prove Your Value: Temp-to-perm roles give you the opportunity to demonstrate your skills and work ethic. When you shine, the transition to permanent employment becomes a natural next step.
-
Competitive Pay During the Contract Phase: At $46.29/hr, you're earning strong compensation from day one: not waiting for a permanent offer to see competitive pay.
-
