Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities:
This role supports the digital vision to modernize contract processes within Defense & Systems, specifically the implementation of a third-party SaaS Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution that will replace fragmented tools and improve operational efficiency, compliance, and collaboration.

The position partners with product and functional teams to help execute the roadmap and strategy for contract management across the Federal and commercial/civil spaces.
Project Management: Be part of transforming the future of Contract Management for Defense & Systems.

In this role you will help execute the implementation strategy and roadmap, keeping the work aligned with business priorities under the direction of the product owner.

Following implementation of the future CLM solution, you will transition to supporting operations, enhancements, and day-to-day support for that product.
Visibility: Throughout, you will gain continuous exposure to senior leaders across the D&S DT team and the Contracts & Government Property organization, contributing to reliable system uptime and the delivery of modernized applications that support business growth and sustainability.

Domain & Technical Experience:
Familiarity with Salesforce administration or configuration, including writing user stories and partnering with administrators to deliver new functionality.

Able to make basic technology choices, analyze the impact of those choices, and stay current on relevant technology trends.
Delivery & Project Management:
Helps define the execution plan and approach based on project scope, expected timeline, and available budget and resources.
