I’m supporting a fantastic 12‑month opportunity for an experienced Commercial Contracts Manager to join a high‑performing Legal & Compliance function within a leading healthcare and diagnostics organisation. This is a great role for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, cross‑functional environment and enjoys partnering closely with the business on complex commercial matters.
In this position, you’ll play a key role in shaping tender strategies, reviewing large‑scale opportunities, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, and advising internal teams on contractual risks and obligations. You’ll work across a wide range of contract types — from customer agreements and supplier subcontracts to variations, confidentiality agreements, novations, software licences and more.
What you’ll be doing:
* Supporting pre‑tender positioning and advising on contractual risks
* Reviewing and managing multiple high‑value tender opportunities
* Working closely with bids and commercial teams on tender submissions
* Drafting clarifications and coordinating responses to mitigate risk
* Negotiating and executing robust commercial contracts
* Advising on contractual rights, obligations and procurement regulations
* Handling variations, amendments and a range of supporting legal documents
* Providing clear, practical guidance to stakeholders across the business
What we’re looking for:
* Background in commercial contracting — legal, procurement or contract management
* Strong understanding of contract law and experience with high‑value, complex agreements
* Ideally, knowledge of public procurement regulations and basic data‑protection principles
* Excellent drafting, negotiation and stakeholder‑management skills
* Someone proactive, detail‑focused, collaborative and confident working at pace
This role offers exposure across the entire organisation, making it a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, problem‑solving and influencing outcomes in a complex environment.
