• Offer clear, pragmatic guidance on contractual risk and compliance.
• Coordinate the tender and RFP response process (note: you won’t manage bids, but you’ll ensure alignment and delivery).
• Act as a strategic partner across teams, aligning contracts with business goals.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong, hands-on experience leading commercial contract work, ideally within a consultancy or service-led business.
• A proactive and inquisitive mindset.
• The ability to manage contracts from start to finish; preparation, negotiation, implementation, and resolution.
• Excellent stakeholder management and a collaborative spirit.
• Desirable: Experience crafting contracts for implementation-led projects (e.g. solar, wind, energy infrastructure)/knowledge of Net Zero or energy transition contracting.
