Contract Manager

As Contract Manager, you'll provide strategic oversight of a portfolio of contracts, helping us maximise value, manage commercial risk and deliver our business objectives. You'll manage supplier performance and relationships, contract compliance, change control and commercial issues, while identifying efficiencies and opportunities for continuous improvement. You'll be based at STC in Coventry, working within Procurement and Contract Management. You'll work 37 hours a week, Monday to Friday. HOW WE WORK You'll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That's why we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive and why for this role you'll usually find us in the office during our working hours.

You'll have experience managing complex commercial contracts, ideally including NEC standard form contracts and bespoke agreements, alongside experience of managing a team. You'll be a confident communicator and negotiator, with strong analytical, influencing and problem-solving skills. You'll hold CIPS Level 6, MRICS, IACCM or equivalent, or be willing to work towards this. Experience within a regulated procurement environment would be advantageous. Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality, as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities.

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We're in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we're equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score, reflecting how much our people love working here.

It's not just a job; it's a career. We offer benefits that reward great work and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. You'll also contribute to the environment and community.
