What the role covers

The posting describes responsibility for the lifecycle of commercial contracts across several clients, covering negotiation, drafting and execution, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Identification and mitigation of the risks attaching to those contracts is named, together with securing favourable terms by negotiation with clients, suppliers and other stakeholders.

The holder monitors contract performance, tracks metrics and reports contract status to senior management, and works so that contract objectives align with the organisation's business goals.

The listed duties are oversight of the contract lifecycle through negotiation, execution and renewal; drafting and reviewing contracts so that they meet the organisation's needs and comply with legal standards; ensuring contracts adhere to relevant law, regulation and company policy so that non-compliance does not give rise to legal issues; leading negotiations with clients, suppliers and other stakeholders to secure terms and conditions; and identifying, evaluating and establishing supplier relationships, including negotiating their contracts against the company's standards.

The employer asks for ten years or more in a comparable commercial and contract management role on another large-scale infrastructure project, the ability to develop commercial relationships that benefit from programme performance and delivery metrics, timely and accurate management reporting, and knowledge of currently available purchasing options including framework agreements. The post is advertised at executive level. No salary figure is published.
