Commercial Contracts Support

£45,000 | Legal Admin / Commercial Contracts Support | Career Path into Law

Looking for someone who’s building a career in law or commercial contracts — not a qualified lawyer yet, but heading that way.

This is a hands-on legal/commercial support role where you’ll sit right in the middle of supplier contracts, customer agreements, and day-to-day commercial operations.

You’ll be working closely with Sales, Finance, Operations, and external suppliers to help manage contracts from start to finish — drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and keeping everything commercially sound and organised.

What you’ll be doing

Commercial Contracts

• Drafting, reviewing, and helping negotiate a range of contracts (supplier agreements, NDAs, MSAs, SaaS/tech agreements, terms & conditions, SOWs, amendments, terminations, etc.)
• Making sure contracts are commercially sensible and aligned with internal risk appetite
• Keeping contract records accurate, tracked, and up to date (renewals, key terms, obligations)

Supplier Management

• Acting as a key contact for supplier and tech partner contract queries
• Supporting supplier onboarding (commercial, legal, and compliance checks)
• Working with internal teams to make sure supplier arrangements actually work operationally

Stakeholder Support

• Giving clear, practical contract guidance to Sales and wider teams (no legal jargon overload)
• Supporting bids and commercial proposals by flagging risks and dependencies early
• Helping with customer/supplier questionnaires (including cyber and data requests)

What we’re looking for

Essential

• Some experience working with commercial contracts or supplier agreements
• Understanding of contract basics: risk, negotiation, and commercial terms
• Comfortable working with structured documents and detail-heavy work
• Organised, reliable, and able to manage multiple priorities
• Good communicator — able to deal with both internal teams and external suppliers

Nice to have

• Exposure to tech/SaaS/reseller or service-based contracts
• Experience using contract management systems or contract registers
• Awareness of data protection or information security requirements in contracts

The fit

This suits someone who:

• Is early in their legal/commercial career (or building towards it)
• Wants real exposure to contracts and commercial decision-making
• Is driven, structured, and not afraid of detail
• Wants progression into more senior legal/commercial roles over time

If you want something that gets you deep into real commercial contracts (not just admin), this is a solid step in that direction.
