Contract Separation Manager for OKQ8

Project overview

Overall assignment description

We are now looking for a Contract Separation Manager for OKQ8 with competence level 4.

Assignment description

We are currently mobilizing a large and business-critical transformation program within Tech, related to changes in our Nordic business portfolio.

The program encompasses a complex IT environment and affects applications, infrastructure, cloud, data, integrations, identity and security, as well as IT agreements & licenses that support this.

We are now looking for a senior profile to complement the Contract stream within the Tech project. The profile we are looking for needs experience working in similar assignments and is used to working hands-on

in complex transformation environments with many dependencies, multiple stakeholders, and tight deadlines. The role is a mix of classic project management with practical commercial contract work and supplier negotiations.

The assignment involves, together with those responsible in the Contract track, driving the separation of a larger contract portfolio between different legal entities and ensuring that the necessary agreements and supplier solutions are in place before the separation.
