Lead IT Vendor Management Analyst

📍 Kolkata 🏷️ Software Development 💰 ₹158,000 / month

About the Role

Salt Lake Sector V in Kolkata has a Lead IT Vendor Management Analyst opening, full time, on site, with a team managing technology vendor relationships and contracts. Eight years of experience is the expectation, and this lead role carries real negotiation authority over major vendor agreements.

A Day in This Job

The work covers designing and building software components, working closely with product and QA teams, reviewing code, and troubleshooting issues reported by users, alongside genuine vendor negotiation responsibility. A lead analyst here reviews contract terms for renewals, catching clauses that could cause problems years down the line.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead vendor relationship management
  • Review and negotiate contract terms
  • Support communication between vendors and internal teams
  • Mentor other analysts on negotiation approaches

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with practical, hands-on project experience and proven proficiency in the relevant tools and frameworks.

Skills That Matter

  • Vendor management at a senior level
  • Contract review
  • Communication
  • Negotiation

Good to Have

Experience negotiating a genuinely difficult multi-year vendor renewal, familiarity with technology licensing structures, and any background where a contract clause was caught during review before causing a real problem later.

Why This Role

Salt Lake Sector V is one of Kolkata's most established tech corridors, and this lead analyst's negotiation decisions affect the organization's technology relationships for years at a time. Naukri Mitra has listed a few software roles from this employer, and lead analysts who've joined recently describe contract clause review as unglamorous but genuinely high-stakes, since a poorly negotiated renewal term can cause real friction long after the ink is dry.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a scenario round on negotiating a hypothetical vendor renewal and a discussion of a past contract review. Candidates who catch subtle contract risks tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
  • Paid time off
  • Performance-linked bonuses
  • On-site cafeteria facilities and cab or commute support

Location & Pay

This role is based at Salt Lake Sector V, Kolkata, pin code 700091, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,58,000 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six to seven weeks.
