We are looking for a pro-active and well-organised Contracts Officer to join the University of Huddersfield’s busy Legal Team. The Legal Team is an award-winning service which helps the University to meet its goal of being an inspiring, innovative University of international renown.

You will fulfil a vital role in working with the legally qualified staff in the Legal Office to help colleagues across the University ensure that appropriate contracts are entered into. The role will focus mainly on negotiating contracts with external stakeholders and working with internal colleagues to ensure that the contracts you manage are right for their projects.

With a degree in Law or equivalent in a relevant subject, or significant experience of working in contract negotiation and management, you will have a flair for good communication and enjoy playing a role in bringing projects to completion. You will also have excellent time-management skills.

This role is likely to suit paralegals or law graduates looking to develop their careers in commercial contracts.

We offer an excellent employment package, including hybrid working, blending a mix of remote and on-campus working (dependent on work duties).

The University is deeply committed to equality and diversity for all its students and staff.  We seek to be diverse and inclusive, supporting individuals and groups to fulfil their potential and nurture a sense of belonging.  We strive to be an accessible, inclusive employer, removing barriers for all.  Find out more about our approach to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, including our commitments and accreditations as a Disability Confident Employer, Stonewall Gold Award holder and Top 100 Employer, Athena SWAN Bronze Award holder and Race Equality Charter Bronze Award holder on our website.
