Contracts Manager

About this role

Legal covers commercial contracting, employment, corporate matters, privacy and the regulatory position across every jurisdiction we operate in.

Own the contract lifecycle for commercial deals: templates, redlines, playbooks and the escalation to counsel when a term genuinely matters.

We hold identity documents, salary data and CVs across several data-protection regimes at once, and we sell into organisations whose procurement and security teams will test every claim we make. Advice has to be practical enough to act on and precise enough to survive that.

Primary responsibilities

• Manage the contract lifecycle across the business and own the process behind it
• Negotiate the standard and near-standard agreements without escalating everything
• Maintain the templates and the fallback positions
• Track obligations, renewals and expiries, and raise them in time
• Report on contract risk and where the standard terms keep being pushed back on
