3. Establish frameworks for administering non-standard contracts to ensure compliance with contractual terms, company policies, and client expectations.
4. Understand and evaluate legal and commercial implications on revenue recognition.
5. Collaborate with Sales, Finance, Legal, and other teams on third-party contracts, including language modifications to align with company policies.
6. Analyze unusual contractual requirements and produce legally protective contract documents.
7. Guide other Contracts staff and Sales team on contract administration processes.
8. Review vendor/supplier contracts periodically.
9. Perform additional duties as assigned.

Key Requirements Include:

• Bachelor's degree in business or a related field or equivalent experience.
• Experience in contract administration involving supplier sales and service agreements.
• Proficiency in drafting and negotiating supplier-side sales and service agreements.
• Understanding of basic contract law principles.
• Flexibility to meet the needs of global clients across different time zones.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong time management and organizational skills.
• Ability to handle a heavy workload and multitask within deadlines with minimal supervision.
• Proficiency in Salesforce.com, Microsoft Office Suite, and contract management software.
• High ethical standards.

This is a temporary position for 6 months, with potential for extension. Benefits include weekly pay, holiday pay, flexible working hours, and opportunities to gain diverse experience across various organisations in the Thames Valley region.
