In-House Contracts Manager - Commercial Paralegal

£35k - £40k per annum
Full-time
Your new company
Based in Manchester, this organisation is uniquely placed to offer solutions within the specialist sector it operates in. It has an established client base and a strong international presence. The legal department is looking for a talented and driven in-house contracts manager who wants to develop their commercial law experience in-house with a UK based business.

Your new role
You will join a small commercial team, working closely with the senior management. Your duties will include taking ownership of the contract management system, liaising with external lawyers and advising the leadership team on improvements around contract management as well as making sure renewals and terminations are handled efficiently. You will also get involved with basic drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts, legal research as well as working closely with the business on legal projects and providing advice.

What you'll need to succeed
You must have a strong appreciation for contract law with a good legal understanding, either from previous paralegal / legal assistant experience or from your law degree / LPC / GDL studies. You will have excellent academics and communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to build relationships at all levels of the business. This position could suit a future trainee solicitor with commercial paralegal experience as well as SQE students or recent qualifiers, looking to develop their commercial law and contracts experience in-house.

What you'll get in return
In return, you can expect to find a supportive and well-structured working environment with a challenging and unique set of tasks. You will be offered a starting salary between £30,000 and £40,000 depending on skills, qualification and experience.
