Come and make a difference at Karbon as a Contracts Manager

We are looking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced individual for the role of Contracts Manager in the Support Services Team.

About the role

This Contracts Manager position is responsible for overseeing multiple high-value supplier contracts (over £6 million annually) within Property Services. This critical role ensures robust supplier performance, cost-effectiveness, and compliance across all agreements.

The Contracts Manager will also be responsible for implementing and managing the company's waste management solution across all operational sites, promoting sustainability and efficiency.

Key responsibilities include verifying supplier transactions, identifying discrepancies, and resolving any variances to maintain financial accuracy and strong supplier relationships.

You'll be expected to drive performance improvement, ensure regulatory compliance, and foster collaboration across departments. The position demands strong stakeholder engagement, data-driven decision-making, and a coaching leadership style that aligns with Karbon's values and commitment to service excellence.

About you

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Contracts Manager to join our team at Karbon Homes.

The ideal candidate will be a confident and collaborative leader with a proven track record in contract management within a dynamic property services environment.

With substantial experience managing high-value supplier contracts, you balance strategic oversight with hands-on problem-solving. You know how to extract value from every contract, driving efficiencies while maintaining the highest standards of service.

Your ability to influence and build strong relationships is one of your key strengths - whether you're working cross-functionally with procurement and operational teams or negotiating performance with external suppliers. You champion a coaching style of leadership, bringing out the best in people with a calm, solution-focused approach.

Resilient under pressure and always curious about how to do things better, you're committed to continuous improvement. Whether it's embedding waste management solutions that meet legal compliance or delivering first-time-fix performance insights from complex datasets, you're driven by results.

Above all, you're someone who leads with integrity, thrives on accountability, and truly lives out the values that Karbon stands for.
