• Influence commercial strategy and pricing through a risk-aware lens.

• Experience negotiating FM or outsourced services contracts (T&Cs, liabilities, indemnities, etc.).
• Ability to balance legal detail with commercial pragmatism, drafting bespoke contracts is key, NEC contract experience would be ideal
• Skilled communicator with the confidence to challenge assumptions and protect commercial interests.
