Job description

Join us, be part of more. We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that’s energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently – we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it and mend it.

About your team:

At Centrica Energy, our mission is to move it. We’re energy movers by nature. We’re a global renewable energy trading company which helps move energy from source to use – powering businesses, homes, and societies as they transition to a new sustainable energy future. If the idea of working to create a sustainable energy future also moves you, we may very well be the right place for you. Do you enjoy bringing structure to complex commercial agreements and turning them into solutions that work in practice? Join our Route-to-Market Contract Management team and work alongside commercial, legal and operational specialists across Europe. As our new Contract Manager, you will be close to both the commercial conversations and the practical realities behind renewable energy, battery storage and flexible energy solutions. With exposure to negotiations, new markets and an evolving energy landscape, you will have plenty of room to build your expertise while helping us move the energy transition forward.

About the Role

You will be part of an experienced Contract Management team supporting our Route-to-Market business across a range of European markets, with particular focus on Italy, Spain, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Working closely with Originators, Legal, customers and operational teams, you will bring a structured commercial perspective to agreements from the first discussions through to ongoing management. As our business and the markets around us continue to develop, you will also have the opportunity to contribute to new products, markets and ways of working. In practice, you will: Manage contracts and amendments throughout their lifecycle, from drafting and negotiation through approval, signature, registration, onboarding, renewal and termination. Support negotiations of long-term PPAs as well as physical and financial framework agreements, working with Originators and other relevant stakeholders. Coordinate internal approvals and governance requirements while ensuring accurate contract and customer data and a smooth handover into operations. Monitor contractual obligations, amendments and key dates, taking ownership of follow-up with customers, counterparties and colleagues across our European markets. Help improve our contract management processes, templates, controls and systems while supporting new-market activities and cross-functional Route-to-Market projects.

About You

You bring a structured and commercially minded approach to contracts and are comfortable working with both contractual detail and operational requirements. You communicate clearly, enjoy collaborating across teams and cultures, and can take ownership of your work while balancing several priorities. You also recognise when specialist input is needed and know when to bring others into the conversation.

For this role, we are looking for someone who: Has relevant education or professional experience within contract management, law, business, finance, commercial operations or a related area. Brings experience from contract management, commercial operations, legal support or a comparable role. Is fluent in written and spoken English, as this is our working language. Is comfortable using Microsoft 365 and working with digital contract or customer management systems. Has strong attention to detail and can manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high standard of work. It would be an advantage, but is not a requirement, if you also bring experience from energy trading, renewable energy, BESS or another commercial or regulated environment. Knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics CRM or a similar platform would be beneficial, as would Italian, Spanish or other European language skills.

Not sure you meet every requirement? We still encourage you to apply. We value different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, and we are interested in what you can bring to the role.
