• 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

Your credentials

• At least 2 years’ experience in commercial contracts management

• Bonus: IACCM/WorldCC certification or similar

What you’ll get
