We are AMS. We are a global total workforce solutions firm; we enable organisations to thrive in an age of constant change by building, re-shaping, and optimising workforces. Our Contingent Workforce Solution (CWS) is one of our service offerings; we act as an extension of our clients' recruitment team and provide professional interim and temporary resources.
We are looking for a Commercial and Contract Management Lead for a 12 Month contract based in Derby (1-2 days per week) on behalf of our globally respected client who develop cutting-edge technologies that deliver clean, safe and competitive solutions to meet the planet's vital power needs.

Purpose of the Role:

As the Commercial and Contract Management Lead responsible for the oversight of core IT services, including mobility and telecommunication solutions, you will play a pivotal role in managing and optimising a portfolio of global contracts with high-value third-party suppliers. This position requires adept contract management expertise, focusing on both financial oversight and operational management across a complex landscape of mobility, audio/visual, and telecommunications assets. Working with suppliers like Vodafone UK and Deutschland, you will be accountable for the overall contract value, ensuring cost efficiencies, resolving disputes, and maintaining service levels across a user base of 9,500 end users.

As a Commercial and Contract Management Lead you will be responsible for:


Supplier Relationship and Contract Oversight
  • Oversee multiple high-value contracts with a focus on maintaining and improving the cost-effectiveness and performance of key suppliers within IT service areas, particularly Vodafone.
  • Act as a primary contact for supplier management, including operational, financial, and SLA performance, ensuring services meet expected standards and addressing escalations as needed.
  • Develop and present performance insights, consolidating data and evidence to support issue resolution and facilitate contract negotiations.
Profit and Loss Management
  • Own the profit and loss (P&L) accountability related to supplier-delivered products and services. This includes driving commercial efficiencies, managing operational metrics, and proactively mitigating financial risks to stay within budgeted costs.
Operational and SLA Management
  • Ensure that suppliers meet all contractual obligations related to SLAs, quality, and performance targets, especially in unpredictable or high-complexity scenarios.
  • Monitor and report on SLA adherence and operational standards, driving continuous improvement and ensuring proactive risk management in line with service architecture standards.
Cross-functional Coordination
  • Collaborate with key internal stakeholders, including the Head of Service Performance, Service Architect, and Sector CDIO, to align on contract goals and drive service improvement initiatives.
  • Partner with external suppliers and vendors to strengthen strategic relationships, facilitating smooth service delivery and effective conflict resolution when necessary.

What we require from the candidate:

  • Demonstrable experience managing global, multi-national contracts with a specific focus on IT, telecommunications, and mobility solutions.
  • Expertise in supplier relationship management, particularly within shared services or large enterprise environments.
  • ITIL or equivalent qualification, with experience in a structured service delivery organisation.
  • Exceptional influencing skills with an ability to navigate complex service landscapes and negotiate with senior stakeholders across regions.
  • Solid background in managing enterprise mobility solutions, and leasing arrangements for telecoms and AV equipment.
  • In-depth understanding of mobility and call plans, with a track record in financial management and contract dispute resolution.
