What You'll Do

As a Contracts Manager, you'll be at the heart of our commercial operations: managing contracts across their full lifecycle while ensuring legal compliance and protecting company interests. You'll serve as a critical link between business development, supply chain, project management, and legal stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Contract Lifecycle Management: Ensure that contracts with both domestic and international customers, suppliers, and partners comply with minimum commercial and legal terms and the group's corporate guidelines. Manage effective contract execution through the lifecycle, from the issue of internal authorization through to contract closure, including the contractual relationship with clients and suppliers throughout the life cycle of projects. Manage the preparation of responses to contract conditions and support of the request for bid approvals at both EID's departmental and Cohort levels.

Negotiation & Advisory: Support negotiations with customers, suppliers, and partners, reviewing contract terms and conditions leading to contract award and acceptance, by liaising (handover) with the business development, supply chain team, and project management teams. Formulate and obtain internal approval for all agreements to be entered into as prime or sub-contractor, and to review and recommend the entry into all contractual commitments with customers on behalf of EID. Collaborate with the different departments to negotiate favourable terms, driving cost efficiencies without compromising quality or service levels. Provide general commercial legal advice on contractual issues.

Risk Management: Anticipate and identify legal risks and develop strategies to address and mitigate them. Support for resolving contractual disputes, facilitating resolution in a timely manner. Manage contractual risks, variations, and claims.

Legal & Compliance: Compare, adjust, and apply preferred legal drafting to standard and non-standard EID Agreements. Support EID's compliance and other legal tasks, including liaising with legal firms.

What You'll Bring

Education: University Degree in Law (preferred), Business Administration, Management, or similar

Professional Experience:

  • Minimum 2 years' experience in contract management, including reviewing, drafting, and negotiating commercial contracts
  • Experience supporting project teams throughout contract execution
  • Experience managing contractual risks, variations, and claims, and working with different teams
  • Experience with international commercial or construction contracts
  • Experience in the maritime or defence sector is desirable

Technical Competencies:

  • Ability to understand and execute contractual matters, understanding standard and non-standard requests, and proposing contractual structures and solutions
  • Experience in managing the end-to-end life-cycle of contracts, including negotiation and execution
  • User-friendly computer skills
  • Ability to express oneself accurately in Portuguese and English, both spoken and written

Behavioral Competencies:

  • Good communication and collaboration skills
  • Good organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Risk management skills
  • Ability to work under pressure
  • Adaptability

What We Offer

  • Sustained and progressive development of the candidate's know-how
  • A competitive package according with your experience
  • A work culture that puts emphasis on the individual, offering flexible working solutions
  • 22 vacation days plus 2 extra days fixed by the company and your birthday off
  • Private health insurance

If you're excited about working on complex systems and contributing to innovative communication and network solutions, we'd love to head from you.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
