Original job description

At ABB, we help industries run leaner and cleaner - and every person here makes that happen. You’ll be empowered to lead, supported to grow, and proud of the impact we create together. Join us and help run what runs the world.

Take your next career step at ABB with a global team that is energizing the transformation of society and industry to achieve a more productive, sustainable future. At ABB, we are committed to fostering diversity, inclusion, safety, integrity, and innovation across everything we do.

Your Impact

As the Contract Manager, Space & Defense Systems, you will oversee the contractual lifecycle of complex projects and programs, helping ABB manage commercial risk, contractual obligations, compliance, and change throughout project execution.

Reporting to the Business Leader, Space & Defense Systems, you will serve as a key contractual advisor to Project Management, Sales, Legal & Integrity, Finance, Engineering, and Supply Chain. You will help protect ABB's interests while enabling successful execution of strategic customer programs in a highly regulated environment.

This position is based in Québec City and follows a hybrid work model. The role is part of ABB's growing Space & Defense Systems organization.

Responsibilities

Review, draft, negotiate, interpret, and administer commercial contracts, amendments, non-disclosure agreements, teaming agreements, and related contractual documents.
Support proposals and bids through contract review, commercial analysis, compliance assessment, and identification of contractual risks.
Serve as the primary contractual advisor for assigned Space & Defense Systems projects and programs.
Identify and mitigate contractual, commercial, financial, schedule, and compliance risks throughout the contract lifecycle.
Provide guidance on contractual obligations, interpretation, negotiations, changes, claims, and dispute resolution in partnership with Legal & Integrity.
Ensure compliance with applicable government contracting, export control, security, customer, and ABB requirements.
Monitor contractual deliverables and milestones while supporting change management, claims, subcontract flow-down requirements, and contract closeout.
Develop contract management processes, tools, templates, training, and best practices to strengthen governance, efficiency, and risk management.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Commerce, Engineering, or a related discipline.
Minimum of 7 years of experience in contract management, commercial management, project business, or a related field, including experience managing complex commercial contracts.
Strong knowledge of contract principles, commercial terms and conditions, contract lifecycle management, and contractual and legal risk assessment.
Demonstrated experience negotiating and interpreting contracts, assessing risks, managing contractual changes or claims, and providing business-oriented guidance to stakeholders.
Strong communication, negotiation, analytical, problem-solving, and influencing skills, with fluency in French and English, written and spoken. French is required. English is also required to communicate with customers outside Quebec and Canada on a regular basis.
Experience in aerospace, defense, space, government, technology, or another highly regulated industry is preferred. Knowledge of government contracting, export controls, security requirements, intellectual property, or an NCMA, CPCM, CCCM or equivalent certification is an asset.

Why ABB?

We empower you to take initiative, challenge ideas, and lead with confidence. You’ll grow through meaningful work, continuous learning, and support that’s tailored to your goals. Every idea you share and every action you take contributes to something bigger.
