Contracts Manager
We are seeking an experienced Contracts Manager to oversee the effective administration, negotiation and delivery of a diverse portfolio of commercial agreements. This role will work closely with internal stakeholders, customers, suppliers and professional advisers to ensure contracts are commercially sound, operationally achievable and aligned with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. You will provide practical guidance throughout the contract lifecycle, from tendering and negotiation through to renewal, variation, performance monitoring and close-out.
Key responsibilities will include drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts, subcontracts, framework agreements, service-level agreements and amendments; identifying commercial, financial and operational risks; and recommending appropriate mitigation measures. You will maintain accurate contract records, monitor key dates, deliverables, obligations, insurance requirements and payment terms, and support effective management of claims, disputes, extensions and change control. The role will also involve preparing reports for senior management, developing contract management processes and templates, supporting audits, and promoting consistent compliance with internal procedures and relevant legislation.
The successful candidate will have proven experience in contract management, commercial management, procurement or a closely related discipline, ideally within a complex or regulated environment. You will have strong knowledge of contract principles, negotiation techniques, risk management and supplier performance management, together with the ability to interpret commercial and legal documentation confidently. Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as is the ability to prioritise competing demands and work effectively under pressure. A relevant professional qualification or degree is desirable, although equivalent practical experience will be considered. You should be analytical, commercially aware and solutions-focused, with a high level of integrity and attention to detail.
