À propos d’EXFO 

EXFO est un leader mondial en solutions de test, de surveillance et d’analyse pour les réseaux de télécommunications. Notre succès repose sur l’innovation, la collaboration et le talent de nos équipes à travers le monde.

Sommaire du rôle 

Nous créons ce rôle pour faire passer la gestion contractuelle d’une fonction principalement administrative à un levier d’affaires concret. La personne retenue sera appelée à prendre en charge le cycle contractuel, à négocier directement certaines ententes selon les balises établies par les conseillers juridiques, à faire avancer les dossiers de façon proactive et à transformer DocuSign CLM en outil de performance pour les équipes T&M et Homeland Security. C’est un rôle pour quelqu’un qui veut bâtir, influencer et générer de la valeur, pas seulement administrer une plateforme. 

Responsabilités principales 

  • Agir comme point de contact unique pour les demandes contractuelles, en triant, priorisant et pilotant les dossiers selon leur niveau de risque, leur urgence et leur impact d’affaires. 
  • Effectuer la revue initiale et la négociation directe de contrats commerciaux standards ou de complexité modérée, selon les paramètres établis par les conseillers juridiques. 
  • Identifier de façon proactive les enjeux commerciaux, opérationnels et juridiques qui ralentissent les dossiers, puis recommander des solutions pratiques. 
  • Maintenir le registre central des contrats, le calendrier des échéances, renouvellements et préavis, et s’assurer que les versions signées correspondent aux versions approuvées. 
  • Prendre ownership de DocuSign CLM et en faire un levier de valeur : adoption par les équipes, modèles, workflows, automatisation des suivis, qualité des données et indicateurs de performance. 
  • Utiliser les outils d’intelligence artificielle pour accélérer la revue, la synthèse et le suivi contractuel, tout en exerçant le jugement nécessaire pour valider les résultats. 
  • Collaborer étroitement avec les équipes des ventes, finances, opérations, conformité et approvisionnement afin de réduire les frictions contractuelles et accélérer les cycles de négociation. 
  • Appuyer les vérifications diligentes, les demandes de conformité (KYC, financement, transactions) et le suivi des mandats de conseillers externes. 
  • Documenter, améliorer et faire évoluer les processus contractuels afin de réduire les risques, éviter les pertes de valeur et améliorer la visibilité sur les engagements d’EXFO. 

Profil recherché 

  • Formation en droit, en administration, en gestion contractuelle ou diplôme en techniques juridiques; toute combinaison pertinente de formation et d’expérience sera considérée. 
  • De 3 à 6 ans d’expérience pertinente en gestion contractuelle, contrats commerciaux, opérations juridiques ou environnement connexe. 
  • Expérience concrète en revue, coordination ou négociation de contrats commerciaux, idéalement dans un environnement technologique, international ou B2B. 
  • Jugement d’affaires : capacité de comprendre le contexte commercial, de distinguer les vrais risques des irritants mineurs et de proposer des compromis pragmatiques. 
  • Autonomie et sens de l’initiative : capacité de prendre position, recommander, relancer, faire avancer les dossiers et assumer ses choix sous l’autorité des conseillers juridiques. 
  • Esprit critique : capacité de lire entre les lignes, repérer ce qui cloche, poser les bonnes questions et remettre en question les façons de faire lorsque nécessaire. 
  • Aisance relationnelle : capacité de travailler directement avec des équipes variées, de bâtir la confiance et d’influencer sans autorité hiérarchique. 
  • Aisance numérique réelle avec les plateformes CLM, les outils d’IA et les données contractuelles, avec le réflexe de transformer l’outil en levier d’efficacité. 
  • Excellente organisation, rigueur dans le suivi des échéances et capacité de gérer plusieurs priorités simultanément. 
  • Maîtrise du français et de l’anglais, tant à l’oral qu’à l’écrit. 

Langues 

  • Français : avancé 

  • Anglais : avancé (contexte international)

  • Entreprise technologique innovante et en croissance 

  • Environnement collaboratif et stimulant

Contract Manager

Location: Quebec City or Montreal, QC (Hybrid)
Position type: Permanent, Full-time

About EXFO

EXFO is a global leader in test, monitoring, and analytics solutions for telecommunications networks. Our success is driven by innovation, collaboration, and the talent of our teams around the world.

Role Summary

We are creating this role to transform contract management from a primarily administrative function into a true business enabler. The successful candidate will own the contract lifecycle, directly negotiate certain agreements within the guidelines established by legal counsel, proactively drive files forward, and turn DocuSign CLM into a performance tool for the T&M and Homeland Security teams. This is a role for someone who wants to build, influence, and create value—not simply administer a platform.

Key Responsibilities
  • Act as the primary point of contact for contract requests, triaging, prioritizing, and managing files based on risk level, urgency, and business impact.

  • Conduct initial reviews and directly negotiate standard or moderately complex commercial contracts within the parameters established by legal counsel.

  • Proactively identify commercial, operational, and legal issues that may delay contracts and recommend practical solutions.

  • Maintain the central contract repository and calendar of deadlines, renewals, and notice periods, ensuring that signed versions match approved versions.

  • Take ownership of DocuSign CLM and leverage it as a value-creation tool through user adoption, templates, workflows, automated follow-ups, data quality, and performance metrics.

  • Leverage artificial intelligence tools to accelerate contract review, summarization, and follow-up while applying sound judgment to validate results.

  • Work closely with Sales, Finance, Operations, Compliance, and Procurement teams to reduce contractual friction and accelerate negotiation cycles.

  • Support due diligence activities, compliance requests (KYC, financing, transactions), and the management of external legal counsel mandates.

  • Document, improve, and evolve contract management processes to mitigate risks, prevent value leakage, and improve visibility into EXFO’s contractual commitments.

Qualifications
  • Degree or diploma in Law, Business Administration, Contract Management, or Legal Techniques; a relevant combination of education and experience will also be considered.

  • 3 to 6 years of relevant experience in contract management, commercial contracts, legal operations, or a related environment.

  • Hands-on experience reviewing, coordinating, or negotiating commercial contracts, ideally within a technology, international, or B2B environment.

  • Strong business judgment, with the ability to understand the commercial context, distinguish significant risks from minor issues, and propose pragmatic compromises.

  • Autonomy and initiative, with the ability to take a position, make recommendations, follow up, drive files forward, and take ownership of decisions under the guidance of legal counsel.

  • Strong critical-thinking skills, with the ability to read between the lines, identify potential issues, ask the right questions, and challenge existing practices when appropriate.

  • Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work directly with diverse teams, build trust, and influence without formal authority.

  • Strong digital proficiency with CLM platforms, AI tools, and contract data, with a mindset focused on turning technology into a driver of efficiency.

  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to deadlines, and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

  • Fluency in both French and English, spoken and written.
