  • Stay updated on industry trends, regulations, and best practices related to 3PL contracts, and apply this knowledge to enhance contract management processes
  • Provide guidance and support to internal teams on contract-related matters, including dispute resolution, change management, and contract renewals
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date contract documentation, ensuring proper record-keeping and adherence to internal policies and procedures
  • Undertake any further duties which may from time to time be assigned
  • This job description is not intended to be either prescriptive or exhaustive but is issued as a general framework at the time of writing

  • A great listener and a team player, easily able to put yourself in someone else shoes and consider different perspectives to define the best suite of actions
  • Strong in negotiation, balancing a willingness to collaborate with a clear understanding of what matters most versus which concessions may be acceptable

Personal Qualities

  • Judgement – balance operational and strategic thinking, challenging the status quo and managing confrontation effectively. You reduce complexity to get things done
