Contract Management

  • Keep and update all agreements in Ironclad, BGB's contract management system, so that documents, key dates, obligations, and approvals are filed and track correctly.

Commercial Negotiation

  • Negotiate commercial terms with both vendors and clients. This includes pricing, rate cards, discounts, volume tiers, rebates, payment terms, price-increase caps, service levels, and renewal terms.
  • Find cost-saving opportunities on new and renewing vendor agreements, and consolidate spend where possible.
  • Support client pricing models, including fixed-fee and time-and-materials arrangements, and make sure contract terms line up with how BGB bills and reconciles.
  • Track rebates, credits, and other negotiated financial benefits so BGB actually receives them.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
