Contract Manager - Analyst

Working in a team lead by Paul Northey, our Head of Contract Management, the Contract Manager Analyst will play a critical role in helping the Agency manage our contracts with housing developers to oversee delivery of a wide range of fantastic housing projects. The Contract Management team is a well-established group of skilled contract specialists who are committed to making positive changes in ensuring contractual obligations are maintained whilst at the same time as building and maintaining excellent relationships with our network of housing development partners.

Paul believes in delivering a first-class customer service, resolving challenges informally wherever possible, taking an innovative and creative approach to provide robust data management. Paul believes in working in a collaborative and flexible way to foster good decision making and problem solving within their team.

The Contract Manager Analyst will be continuously supported and play a very important role in the team, combining excellent MS Excel skills and interpretation of legal requirements to produce overage forecasts required for Agency budget preparation. Additionally, the role will include reviewing and approving important plot completion documentation to facilitate the legal transfer of our land to new homeowners.

The Contract Management team oversees the appointment of external Compliance Inspectors, an important supporting function for the Agency, and the role will include involvement in and ultimately management of procurement processes of these consultants.

As your knowledge and skills develop, you will be introduced to more technical elements of the Contract Management function and encouraged to expand your involvement with a view to progressing into more senior roles should you aspire to do so.

Whilst not compulsory, you will be encouraged to visit our sites to see housing development progress first hand, where you will gain experience of the challenges and ways of working of the housing construction industry.

Collaboration is a critical element of this role, as the Analyst Contract Manager will need to be able to liaise between people and teams within the Agency as necessary, as well as provide a critical interface to external parties such as consultants and developers.
