Contracts Officer

8 months ago


Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester Metropolitan University Full time

The Contracts Officer will manage aspects of contract negotiation for research and innovation exchange activity across the University including drafting, reviewing, negotiating and advising on a range of lower-risk agreements and assisting colleagues with more complex matters.

You will provide support to the Contracts Managers to ensure the provision of an efficient and effective service.

The role also involves supporting the Commercial Development Manager in the efficient and effective management of the University's Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio.

You will report to the Senior Contracts Manager and work closely with colleagues in Research Delivery and the wider Research and Innovation (R&I) Team to ensure all University R&I agreements are compliant with the University's financial and governance regulations.

About you:
The successful applicant will have knowledge of contract law and intellectual property law and ideally practical experience in negotiating and drafting contracts, having previously worked in a firm of solicitors or in-house providing legal services in a similar role. Experience in a HE context is an advantage but is not essential.

The postholder will be able to liaise credibly and articulately with colleagues at all levels, managing a high-volume workload to meet high standards and client expectations, and work under pressure to meet precise deadlines.

Your ability to work and communicate with accuracy and attention to detail is essential.

The Contracts Officer will have an opportunity to join a successful team enabling the delivery of high-quality research and innovation activities, supporting the University's ambitious Research and Innovation strategy.
