We are seeking an experienced Senior Major Contracts and Commercial Manager to lead the commercial management of complex, high-value contracts from procurement and negotiation through to delivery, performance management and close-out. This is a senior role requiring strong commercial judgement, the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels and a proven record of managing contractual risk across major programmes, projects or service environments.

You will develop and implement commercial strategies, lead contract negotiations, and ensure agreements protect organisational interests while supporting successful delivery. Key responsibilities will include overseeing contract governance, change control, claims, disputes, performance reporting, payment mechanisms and risk management. You will provide expert advice on contract interpretation, regulatory and policy requirements, procurement routes and commercial options, while maintaining accurate records and clear audit trails.

You will need strong knowledge of contract principles, procurement processes, negotiation techniques, commercial risk and contract administration, together with experience managing significant variations, extensions, disputes or claims. Excellent communication, influencing and analytical skills are essential, as is the confidence to present recommendations to senior stakeholders and make sound decisions in challenging circumstances. A relevant professional qualification or membership of a recognised commercial, procurement, surveying or legal body would be advantageous. The successful candidate will be organised, pragmatic and collaborative, with high professional standards and a consistent focus on achieving robust, compliant and commercially sound outcomes.
