I’m supporting a fantastic 12‑month opportunity for an experienced Commercial Contracts Manager to join a high‑performing Legal & Compliance function within a leading healthcare and diagnostics organisation. This is a great role for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, cross‑functional environment and enjoys partnering closely with the business on complex commercial matters.

In this position, you’ll play a key role in shaping tender strategies, reviewing large‑scale opportunities, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, and advising internal teams on contractual risks and obligations.

• Supporting pre‑tender positioning and advising on contractual risks
• Reviewing and managing multiple high‑value tender opportunities
• Working closely with bids and commercial teams on tender submissions
• Drafting clarifications and coordinating responses to mitigate risk
• Negotiating and executing robust commercial contracts
• Advising on contractual rights, obligations and procurement regulations
• Handling variations, amendments and a range of supporting legal documents
• Providing clear, practical guidance to stakeholders across the business

What we’re looking for:

• Degree‑level education (or equivalent experience)
• Background in commercial contracting — legal, procurement or contract management
• Strong understanding of contract law and experience with high‑value, complex agreements
• Ideally, knowledge of public procurement regulations and basic data‑protection principles
• Excellent drafting, negotiation and stakeholder‑management skills
• Someone proactive, detail‑focused, collaborative and confident working at pace

This role offers exposure across the entire organisation, making it a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, problem‑solving and influencing outcomes in a complex environment.
