In addition you will be required to :

• Develop and implement a robust contract management framework to ensure consistent, effective management of all commercial contracts

• Work with Senior Managers to manage high value contracts
• Provide high level commercial advice for complex, high risk procurement and contract activities. Lead sourcing, tendering, and negotiation activities for high value projects
