The role :
As Commercial Manager / Senior Contracts Manager / Contracts Manager, you manage a small team delivering contracts into the APAC region. You will lead on contract negotiations which will require very strong customer management and interpersonal communication skills coupled with an in-depth understanding of the business customs of the country with which you are dealing.
Contracts will normally be concluded with governmental bodies and institutions (including military).
You will be an accomplished presenter, at ease with dealing with high ranking officials in various capacities. Contract meetings may take place in the UK (corporate headquarters), at Embassies (London area) or in the country with whom you are contracting. There will be an element of travel required although it is envisaged that this will be 10-20% maximum.
Fluency in written and spoken English is an absolute pre-requisite. The ability to communicate in other APAC is beneficial but by no means essential as the business is English.
Commercial skills are essential ; experience and understanding of contractual terms and conditions, international export and finance, exchange rates etc will all be necessary skills for the role.
People management, people development and leadership skills will complete your repertoire.
On offer is a basic salary between £70,000 and £85,000 (negotiable) plus a comprehensive benefits package including a very attractive pension. Working hours are Monday to Friday, with a lunchtime finish on Fridays.
