You'll take ownership of work that gives us our competitive edge, including:
Own contract completion and execution
- Take agreed commercial terms and pricing through to fully executed contracts, ensuring every schedule, annexure and signature is in place and accurately reflects what the commercial team negotiated
- Track contracts through each stage of completion, chasing counterparties and internal stakeholders to close out outstanding items and keep deals moving to signature
Manage NDAs and legal document flow
- Initiate, route and track client and partner NDAs, ensuring they are raised, reviewed and executed before commercial or technical engagement begins
- Maintain a clean, auditable repository of all NDAs, contracts and agreements so nothing is lost, expired or unaccounted for
Review agreements for commercial accuracy before sign-off
- Review executed and draft agreements against the agreed commercial position, flagging discrepancies in fees, terms, dates or scope for correction before they are finalised
- Act as a quality-control checkpoint, cross-checking documents for accuracy and completeness without setting the commercial pricing or leading negotiation
Drive project management to get new products and pricing live
- Run the end-to-end delivery of new products, pricing changes and partner integrations from signed contract to go-live, managing timelines, dependencies and handoffs across teams
- Coordinate legal, finance, operations, compliance and technical stakeholders to remove blockers and ensure launches land on schedule
Coordinate and manage the commercial team's workflow and tools
- Manage the commercial team's tasks, tools and pipelines, translating agreed deals into structured workstreams and clear owner-accountable actions
- Maintain visibility of all in-flight commercial workstreams through project and task-management tooling, providing status reporting and analytical insight on progress, bottlenecks and delivery risk
This list covers your core responsibilities – with plenty of room to stretch, explore and take on new challenges as we grow.
