IT Contract Project Manager

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.

Contract Lifecycle Coordination & Project Management

• 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.

• 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).
