Group Contracts Manager - Senior Management
Slough, Berkshire
c£55,000 Plus Bonus (15% of salary), Contributory Pension, Travel Insurance, Death in Service, 25 Days' Holiday, Car Allowance

Based in Slough, our client is one of the largest Caterpillar dealers in the world. Acting as their official dealer for East and West Africa, the Middle East and Western Siberia, they offer their customers a complete range of power generation, construction, mining and materials handling equipment. Growing at a rate of 20% year-on-year, our client has plans to double in size over the next five years. An opportunity has now arisen for a Group Contracts Manager to join their team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior management professional looking to join a global industry leader offering the unique opportunity to develop your own role, dealing in the most critical projects of our client's business.

As the Group Contracts Manager, you will be responsible for reviewing, drafting and negotiating contractual agreements for all departments within our client's firm. You will also provide advice to the commercial teams on the legal and commercial risks associated with business operation, their potential impact and suggested mitigating actions.

You will act as the key liaison between our client and external legal support, seeking legal advice where appropriate. You will also assist with large business transactions, acquisitions, dispute resolutions and litigation, providing project management services as necessary.

Furthermore, you will ensure compliance with company statutory provisions and ascertain all agreements entered into by the company provide adequate coverage within the appropriate jurisdiction.

While travel to potentially any territory or non-territory will be necessary, this will only be for short periods of up to one week, amounting to potentially 10% of your role.

To be considered for this role, you must have:

- Experience as a senior manager or experience of reporting to senior executives
- Contractual agreements experience, with contracts up to $500M
- Dispute resolution (formal or non-formal) experience
- International experience
- Knowledge and experience of contract law; through education or commercial experience

Additionally, as a Group Contracts Manager, you must have the people and communication skills to foster meaningful commercial relationships. Excellent negotiation skills are also key.

Experience of developing a new contracts team in a company from scratch, and implementing new procedures for risk mitigation or contract development, would be beneficial to your application. An engineering contracts background would also be an advantage, as would knowledge and experience of FIDIC agreements. Exposure to MARC agreements would be equally favourable, as would a legal and/or engineering degree or professional qualification.
