We are seeking a Legal Contracts Manager to join our in-house Legal Team, managing the contractual negotiations and advisory activity across a wide range of commercial and IP matters. Your experience in commercial contracts management, with experience of international law an advantage, will place the role at the heart of Rothamsted’s activities.
Previous experience of working for a research-related or academic organisation would help you hit the ground running in this role but more important is someone who is a collaborative and a positive team player with a desire to make a difference. From engaging with key stakeholders to providing strategic and tactical support when required, relationship-building, influence and collaboration skills will be key.
Interested but not sure you tick every box? Research shows that some people are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single criteria. At Rothamsted we are committed to building diverse teams so please apply even if your past experience doesn't align perfectly with the requirements - you might just be the perfect fit! We can accommodate home-working and be flexible with working hours and working patterns; we welcome applications from candidates who would like to negotiate part-time hours.
This is a fixed term appointment initially for 3 years with possibility for extension, with a salary dependant on skills and experience.
Closing date: 16 June 2023
Interviews: 27-29 June 2023
