Your new company
My client is a UK government research entity responsible for the development of fusion energy. It operates as an executive non-departmental public body of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Their role is to research fusion energy and related technologies, with the aim of positioning the UK as a leader in sustainable nuclear energy. The organisation continues to make strides in fusion energy development, aiming to transform this transformative energy technology into a viable source of power. As such, they are seeking an experienced Commercial Contracts Manager to help them on this journey.

Your new role
In this role, you will take ownership of commercial contract management across the organisation, providing advice and guidance throughout the organisation. You will manage commercial relationships with Tier 1 suppliers, negotiate contractual variations, ensure outcomes align with affordability constraints, mitigate contract risks, and deliver value for money. Collaborative work with strategic suppliers to fulfil contractual obligations and meet mutual interests is also a part of this role. As a responsive, adaptable, and flexible individual, you will need to be proactive and a capable communicator. You will be part of a dynamic industry that requires you to prioritise tasks, manage your workload, and meet the demands of those relying on you. As a Commercial Contract Manager in a supply chain team, you will ensure that key documentation is current and accurate, and that suppliers deliver on their contractual obligations. This involves verifying evidence of delivery by our suppliers and ensuring that any last-minute service changes adhere to contract terms. Your day will likely include periods of unsupervised work on commercial contract administration, as well as supporting senior commercial team members in meetings and forums. This exciting and demanding role offers great prospects and opportunities for those seeking to develop in contract and commercial management.
