As a member of the Contracts team, you will provide practical contracting support across both new business and existing customer relationships, acting as a primary contact for renewals. The role focuses on negotiating, drafting renewals and related amendments, managing incoming contracting requests, maintaining standard templates, and keeping contract records accurate and up to date. You will provide contract support to transition existing customers to new templates and terms as needed. You will work closely with the Legal and Privacy teams and act as a primary point of contact for CSG, Sales, Finance, and other stakeholders. You will manage a high volume of renewal activity, typically within short turnaround times, including preparing and negotiating renewal amendments and managing more bespoke amendments for legacy or non-standard agreements. You will assist US Contracts Counsel in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating new customer agreements as needed. You will also maintain and manage templates, provide reporting based on contract terms, and respond to contract-related questions from across the business. The Contracts Manager will take ownership of a broad portfolio of commercial agreements, supporting both new business opportunities and renewals from initial review through negotiation and execution. Working closely with Sales and the wider business, you will proactively progress contracting discussions, navigate legal and commercial considerations, and help move deals forward efficiently while protecting the interests of the business.
