Senior Contract Manager

Senior Contracts Manager | Part-time contract (3 days a week) - 12 month contract initially with potential to stay indefinitely | Remote-friendly | Start ASAP

A rare chance to take ownership of a key commercial relationship in a global business, on a flexible three-day-a-week basis.

Our client is a world-leading data, insights and analytics business, trusted by many of the world's best-known brands to help them understand people and make better decisions. They operate at serious scale across multiple markets, and they are looking for a standout senior contracts professional to join them at a pivotal moment.

The role

You will take charge of a large, business-critical key account contract, the kind of agreement that sits at the heart of a major client relationship. You'll be the trusted commercial lead, running it day to day, shaping how it evolves and making sure it delivers. Alongside this, you'll pick up a varied stream of overflow contract work, so no two weeks will look the same.

This is a hands-on, high-visibility position. You will be:

• Leading negotiations and driving commercial agreements to the finish line
• Managing the contract end to end, with a strong project management element, coordinating stakeholders, deadlines and deliverables
• Drafting, reviewing and advising on a wide range of solid commercial contracts
• Working primarily on UK matters, with exposure to other jurisdictions, including the US
• Handling a modest element of legal work (around 10% to start), with scope to grow this over time

About you

• A strong, senior contracts manager with a track record of negotiating and managing complex, high-value commercial agreements
• Confident, commercial and pragmatic, a natural negotiator who builds trust with senior stakeholders
• Organised and energetic, with real project management ability
• Qualified lawyer or experienced non-lawyer (commercial contracts manager) ; either route is welcome
• Comfortable working independently and remotely

Why this role

• Genuine ownership. Be the go-to person for a key account contract, with real influence and visibility.
• Flexibility. Three days a week, with remote working available, so you can fit this around other commitments.
• Longevity. Initially a 12-month contract, with every indication that it could continue well beyond that, potentially indefinitely.
• Scope to grow. The legal element can expand, and the role can develop in line with your interests and the needs of the business.
• A first-class brand. Work with a respected international organisation at the heart of how the world's leading companies understand their customers and markets.

If you're a senior contracts professional looking for meaningful, high-impact work with flexibility, we'd love to hear from you.

I also changed "landmark contract" in the benefits list to "key account contract", so the wording matches throughout.
