8Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Building & Optimising a Function

You'll spend time refining team processes, evaluating new CLM technologies, and designing better ways to manage our contract portfolio. Seeing your team become more efficient and effective will be a big win for you.

Leading the successful implementation of a new obligation tracking module in Icertis, resulting in a 20% reduction in missed contractual commitments.

Strategic Impact & Risk Mitigation

You'll be advising senior leaders on the commercial risks of new deals, shaping our contracting policies, and ensuring we're protected from potential legal or financial pitfalls. Your input will directly influence major business decisions.

Successfully negotiating a critical liability cap increase in a £5M BPO contract, saving the company potential exposure of £2M.

Developing People & Teams

A significant part of your role will be mentoring, coaching, and developing your team members. You'll get satisfaction from seeing them grow, take on more responsibility, and excel in their careers under your leadership.

Successfully coaching a Senior Contract Administrator to lead their first major client renegotiation independently.

What frustrates people
  • The constant tension between Sales' aggressive targets and Legal/Finance's risk aversion, often leaving you to broker a compromise.
  • Inheriting a portfolio of poorly drafted legacy contracts that are a nightmare to manage and audit.
  • Dealing with 'urgent' requests that derail your team's planned work, only for those requests to be deprioritised a day later.
  • The challenge of getting consistent data and adherence to processes from other departments who don't always see contracts as their top priority.
  • Managing team dynamics and individual performance, which can sometimes feel like herding cats while simultaneously putting out fires.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely individual contributor path where you don't have to manage people or organisational politics.
  • A 'set it and forget it' environment; the contract landscape and business needs are constantly evolving.
  • A role where you're solely focused on legal drafting; this is about commercial strategy and operational execution.
  • A predictable 9-to-5; sometimes, high-stakes negotiations or urgent issues will require flexibility.

9Who you work with

This role is absolutely critical for managing our contractual risk and ensuring we actually realise the value from our BPO engagements. You'll directly influence our P&L by optimising contract terms, preventing revenue leakage, and avoiding costly disputes. You're building the capability that underpins our entire service delivery model, making sure we can scale confidently and compliantly.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, managing a large contract portfolio and a team is demanding. What if you could free up significant time for strategic thinking, team development, and high-stakes negotiations? AI isn't just for individual contributors; it's a game-changer for managers like you, transforming how you oversee, analyse, and optimise your entire contract function.

We're not talking about replacing your team; we're talking about giving them (and you) superpowers. By intelligently automating the tedious, repetitive parts of contract administration, AI allows your team to focus on the complex, value-add work. For you, this means better data, faster insights, and more time to shape the future of our BPO contracts.

Automated Portfolio Overview & Risk Dashboards

AI-powered CLM systems can aggregate data from thousands of contracts, automatically flagging high-risk clauses, upcoming critical dates, and compliance anomalies across your entire portfolio. You'll get executive-level dashboards that provide instant insights into your risk exposure and commercial opportunities, without having to manually compile reports.

Intelligent Performance & Obligation Monitoring

Imagine an AI that tracks all contractual obligations and SLA performance across your BPO engagements. It can proactively alert your team (and you) to potential breaches, service credit triggers, or areas where operational delivery isn't aligning with contract terms. This means you can intervene strategically, rather than reactively.

AI-Assisted Policy & Playbook Generation

AI can analyse our historical contracts, successful negotiation outcomes, and legal precedents to help you develop and refine our internal contract policies and negotiation playbooks. It can suggest optimal fallback positions, standardise language, and ensure consistency across your team's approach, making your policies more robust and data-driven.

Automated Executive Summaries & Strategic Briefs

Need a quick summary of a complex contract amendment for the Director of Operations? Or a brief on the commercial implications of a new regulatory change for the Legal team? AI can draft these summaries in minutes, pulling key information and highlighting critical points, saving you hours of report writing and ensuring consistent, clear communication.
