Job description

Were looking for an experienced and highly organised Contracts and Compliance Coordinator to play a key role in the administration and oversight of business contracts and subcontracts.

Working across multiple stakeholders, you'll ensure contracts progress efficiently through internal approval processes while supporting compliance tracking, risk identification, and project coordination. This role requires someone with a strong background in contract and project management, exceptional attention to detail, and the confidence to liaise with both operational teams and senior leaders to drive timely, compliant contract execution.

This is a full-time, fixed-term position for one year, offered on a hybrid basis with flexibility to balance time between our County Hall office in Chelmsford, Essex, and remote working to suit individual and service needs.

Main duties of the job

• Lead on the administration of business contracts and subcontracts, ensuring they follow internal governance processes and regulatory standards
• Coordinate and track contract progress across multiple stakeholders, managing time-sensitive approvals and documentation with minimal oversight
• Maintain robust records and audit trails in line with compliance and data protection standards (e.g., GDPR, NHS DSPT)
• Proactively identify and escalate potential risks, delays, or non-compliance issues to the appropriate senior leads
• Monitor contract expirations and initiate timely reviews, renewals, or exit processes where required
• Liaise confidently with senior colleagues, legal, finance, and operational teams to ensure contract terms are adhered to and key deadlines are met
• Produce contract performance reports, summaries, and updates for senior management and transformation leads
• Support governance around service retenders, including managing documentation, meeting actions, and bid coordination
