Commercial Contracts Manager (Hybrid) - London

Shape the future of Commerical Supplier and Contract strategy at a leading organisation.
Arthur is partnering with a top-tier firm to appoint a Commercial Contracts Manager who will play a pivotal role in managing strategic vendor relationships across Technology, Corporate and Business Services and Workplace Operations. This is a high-impact opportunity to drive contractual excellence, governance, and performance oversight in a business-critical function.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Lead and support contract negotiations and vendor onboarding.
  • Maintain a centralised contract repository and track key milestones (renewals, expirations).
  • Monitor vendor performance and contribute to audit and reporting frameworks.
  • Ensure governance policies are current, compliant, and aligned with internal standards.
  • Act as a trusted escalation point for vendor-related issues.
  • Support risk assessments and help shape third-party risk frameworks.
  • Stay ahead of developments in Technology and AI-related contracts, including SLAs and KPIs.
What We're Looking For
  • 5-7 years' experience in contract management, vendor oversight, or procurement.
  • Strong grasp of vendor ecosystems across Technology, Services, and Operations.
  • Familiarity with governance frameworks and third-party risk management.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, with exposure to C-Level environments.
  • Professional qualifications such as CIPS, CPSM, CTPE, or familiarity with SFIA are desirable.
  • Experience with ITIL or COBIT is a plus.
Why This Role? This is more than a Commercial Contracts Lead - it's a chance to take full ownership and influence on strategic vendor decisions, work closely with senior leadership, and embed best-in-class governance across a dynamic organisation.

Ready to Make an Impact? If you're looking to step into a highly integral role with real influence and ownership potential working across the Senior Stakeholders across the business including C-Level then apply now for immediate consideration.
