The Vendor Relationship Manager is responsible for overseeing day-to-day contract management elements of assigned third-party service or solution providers and shared services provided to internal Navitus departments. The Vendor Relationship Manager is responsible for assuring vendor operations are effectively and efficiently serving Navitus and client needs. The Vendor Relationship Manager will be the primary contact for internal clients receiving services through business and technology vendor contacts.

The Vendor Relationship Manager will partner closely with stakeholders to ensure business needs are clearly outlined and communicated to responsible parties. Primary duties will be focused on ensuring elements of contracts with clients and vendors are implemented correctly and timely, tracking that contractual service level agreements (SLAs) or performance guarantees (PGs) are met. The Vendor Relationship Manager will ensure routine oversight and analyses are performed to ensure ongoing contractual compliance, service or product performance, and identify needs for - as well as drive – issue resolution or corrective action plans with internal stakeholders and vendors when needs are not met.
