Summary
We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Contracts Officer to join our Research and Enterprise Office (REO). This dynamic role is split between supporting a funded project aimed at boosting regional research commercialisation and managing contracting processes across research, enterprise, and commercial activities.
You’ll work closely with academic and professional colleagues to review, negotiate, and advise on contracts with funders, clients, and partners, helping to ensure robust, timely, and risk-aware agreements that support our strategic goals. If you thrive in a collaborative environment and have a keen eye for contractual detail, we’d love to hear from you.
