The Sr. Contracts Manager is responsible for the contractual governance for large‑scale manufacturing capital projects.

  • Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Procurement, Legal, Finance, and Project Management teams to structure contracts, resolve commercial issues, and mitigate risk.
  • Monitor contract performance, including scope, cost, schedule, and compliance, and independently assess contractual and commercial risks, ensuring timely escalation and resolution in alignment with project governance and business objectives.
  • Develop and implement contract management best practices, standard work, and continuous improvement initiatives in alignment with the Danaher Business System (DBS).

Who you are:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Supply Chain, Construction Management, or related field, with a minimum of 10+ years of experience in contract management, commercial management, or project controls within manufacturing, life sciences, construction, or industrial capital projects environments.

  • Strong understanding of contract terms and conditions, commercial frameworks, and risk allocation, with the ability to evaluate contractual and business risks and support practical, business-aligned solutions.
  • Experience supporting large-scale, cross-functional capital projects, including collaboration with engineering, procurement, construction, and operations teams, and managing coordination across multiple stakeholders.

Why it works

3×

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.
