Are you a commercially minded legal expert who thrives on ownership, influence, and variety? Do you want to become the go-to legal and contracts lead in a fast-growing, award-winning consultancy driving the UK’s Net Zero transition?

At Consultus, we don’t just advise on sustainability – we shape it. From multi-million-pound service agreements to Net Zero implementation projects, our work spans five dynamic business units. We’re looking for a Commercial Contracts Manager who will take the reins on all contractual and legal matters, providing authoritative guidance across the business and shaping the foundation of our future growth.

You will be Consultus’ in-house legal and commercial authority, taking full ownership of all commercial contracts and legal matters. You’ll lead the drafting, review, negotiation, and management of agreements across all our business units, providing authoritative guidance that supports growth, protects the company, and ensures compliance.

You’ll also have the chance to build new contract frameworks for our Net Zero projects from the ground up – a rare opportunity to influence how a consultancy operates at the intersection of law, commerce, and sustainability.

• Taking full ownership of all commercial and legal matters across Consultus.

• Leading the drafting, review, negotiation, and management of contracts spanning multiple business units

• Becoming the trusted legal and commercial advisor to senior management and project teams

• Shaping and improving contract processes, templates, and governance

• Supporting bids and tenders by coordinating legal and contractual input, ensuring deadlines and submissions are met

• Providing pragmatic, commercially sound guidance that protects and advances the company’s interests

• Legally qualified with hands-on experience in commercial contracts

• Experienced across a broad range of contracts, ideally from consultancy, service-led, or implementation-focused businesses

• Strong understanding of legal jargon and contract law, able to make sound commercial decisions independently

• Confident self-starter with excellent stakeholder management, communication, and organisational skills

• Knowledge or experience in Net Zero projects (e.g., solar, wind, energy management) is a bonus

• This is a UK-based role, primarily remote, with occasional attendance at the office where business needs require

• Flexible working – full-time or part-time options

• Competitive salary and benefits – discussed on application

• Collaborative, purpose-driven culture with a genuine opportunity to shape our Net Zero and sustainability work

• A chance to become the trusted legal and commercial authority in a growing consultancy

• Recognition for contribution, responsibility, and impact

We’re ready to move quickly for the right person. If you’re ready to own contracts, make decisions that matter, and be at the heart of Consultus’ commercial and legal strategy, we want to hear from you.
