• Support Ground Transportation contract lifecycle management by tracking contract expirations, renewals, and extensions; maintaining accurate and current documentation; and coordinating follow-ups to help ensure agreements are executed in advance of operational need and aligned with sourcing policy and legal requirements.
• Coordinate with Ground Transportation vendors, port partners, brand stakeholders, and cross-functional teams (including Legal, Finance, Risk, and Operations) to support contract execution, clarify operational requirements, and facilitate timely resolution of documentation or execution issues.
• Support governance, visibility, and reporting discipline by maintaining centralized Ground Transportation contract records, updating sourcing and execution trackers, assisting with preparation of status updates for leadership and stakeholder meetings, and ensuring execution progress is accurately reflected across reporting tools.
