I'm currently recruiting for an exciting Contract Manager opportunity with a major organisation operating within the UK energy and infrastructure sector
.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Contract Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of large, complex and high-value supplier contracts
, helping to manage commercial performance, reduce risk and make sure the organisation gets the best possible value from its suppliers.

The Role

You will manage several major supplier contracts, some worth £20m+, and will be responsible for the contracts throughout their lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing complex supplier contracts and ensuring contractual obligations are met
Leading contract negotiations, renewals, extensions and changes
Managing commercial and contractual disputes
Managing financial forecasting and contract budgets
Identifying opportunities to reduce costs and improve value for money
Monitoring supplier performance and managing risks
Making sure contracts are properly documented and compliant
Working closely with internal teams and external suppliers
Ensuring contract governance and reporting requirements are met
Supporting major projects and changes across the supplier portfolio

What are they looking for?

They're looking for someone with strong commercial and contract management experience
, ideally from a complex, regulated or infrastructure environment.

You'll need experience with:

Managing large and complex contracts
Contract negotiation and change management
Identifying and managing contractual and commercial risks
Supplier relationship management
Contract governance and compliance
Financial and commercial management
Working with senior internal and external stakeholders

You should also be commercially minded, confident negotiating with suppliers and comfortable taking ownership of contracts and resolving issues.

The Opportunity

This is a particularly interesting role for someone who enjoys owning contracts end-to-end
, rather than simply administering them. You'll have the opportunity to influence commercial strategy, negotiate significant contract changes and help drive cost savings, performance and value for money across a critical supplier base.

If you're a Contract Manager / Commercial Manager with experience managing high-value contracts and are looking for your next step, I'd be keen to hear from you.
