Contract Manager for an innovative and pioneering organisation

Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK (2 days a week on site)

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 Contracts Manager to help them on this journey.

Your new role
In this role, you will manage the real-time interface and relationship with Tier 1 suppliers, working collaboratively to ensure they meet their contractual obligations. You will take ownership of contract management across the organisation, providing advice and guidance as needed. The role requires adaptability, proactivity, and excellent communication skills to meet the dynamic demands of the industry. As a Contract Manager, you will ensure that key documentation remains current and accurate, and that suppliers deliver on their contractual obligations. Your day-to-day tasks will include periods of unsupervised contract administration and supporting senior commercial team members in meetings and forums. You will focus on project delivery, support continuous improvement workstreams on contract management, and lead on reviewing and improving the contract management process manual. They will monitor supplier compliance and performance, support the relationship between the supplier and the organisation, and work flexibly to support the delivery of business requirements. You will be required to identify relevant information sources, recognise patterns and trends in data, and draw key conclusions. You will take responsibility for delivering expected outcomes on time and to standard, regularly monitor work against milestones or targets, and produce periodic performance reports for senior management.

What you'll need to succeed
I am seeking a candidate who is working towards or already MCIPS qualified and is either accredited or enroled in the Contract Management Capability Programme (equivalent accreditations are also considered). The ideal candidate should have a good understanding of Supplier Management, including Supplier Relationship, Performance & Risk Management, and be aware of PCR-2015. You should possess strategic procurement knowledge and experience, be commercially astute, customer-focused, and have excellent interpersonal skills. Good negotiation skills, particularly with some understanding of the NEC form of Contract, are essential. Strong verbal and written communication skills are required, and the ability to work effectively as part of the Group Procurement Team is crucial. It is desirable to have a contract management qualification, expertise in Contract Management Tools (e.g., CEMAR), and line management experience.
