The team

The Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) Programme is one of the transformation programmes in ITV’s Transformation Portfolio. It has been established to transform the way ITV manages its contracting process, including contract drafting, workflow tracking, contract signature and storage. CLM aims to simplify the systems landscape by introducing a single new CLM tool (Ironclad), implementing new processes, and introducing new ways of working to future proof both ITV’s Legal & Business (L&BA) Affairs team and the business as a whole. The programme aims to develop a new operating model, embed new ways of working and implement a new CLM SaaS platform.
