Principal Contract Manager Department: Scheme Delivery Employment Type: Permanent Location: Birmingham, England, United Kingdom; Leeds, England, United Kingdom Reporting To: Head of Account & Program Management Description Contract type: Permanent Hours: 37.5 / week Vacancies: 3 Salary: circa £80,000 depending on experience Location: Birmingham or Leeds WFH policy: Employees are required to attend the office 2 days/week Flexible working: Variety of flexible work patterns subject to line manager discretion e.g. Compressed 9-day fortnight. Reports to: Head of Account & Contract Management Deadline Note: We reserve the right to close the advert before the advertised deadline if there are a high volume of applications. Role Summary: The Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) is a private limited company wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (ESNZ). It plays a key role in transforming the UK's electricity system by helping to ensure future supply is secure, low carbon and affordable as the UK progresses towards Net Zero 2050. LCCC is the counterparty to the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme, through which low carbon generation is supported to compete with conventional fossil fuel generation. There are now over 500 CfDs in total, spanning technologies including offshore wind, onshore wind, solar and biomass conversion. LCCC also supports the Government's net zero ambitions by enabling and supporting tens of billions of pounds of investment in low carbon infrastructure. This is achieved through the development of contractual mechanisms that make First of a Kind (FOAK) projects investable. LCCC will be the counterparty to a growing range of new and bespoke schemes, including CCUS, Hydrogen, Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Nuclear, and other government mandated programmes. It is responsible for ensuring these schemes are constructed and operated as intended, preserving value for government and maintaining investor confidence. Given that LCCC is a not for profit organisation, this is not a typical contract or commercial management role. Performance is not measured against a bottom line, but instead by two guiding principles: to maintain investors' confidence in the CfD and wider scheme portfolio, and to minimise cost to consumers whilst enabling the delivery of low carbon projects. Principal Contract Managers (PCMs) are senior specialist roles within the Scheme Delivery directorate, defined by subject matter expertise rather than line management. PCMs act as subject matter experts across project delivery, technical assessment and commercial domains, and are the go to authority for complex contractual, project development, technical and commercial matters across the portfolio. In addition to core contract management responsibilities, PCMs support the wider directorate with complex issues arising across the portfolio. They work as part of a wider PCM cohort with complementary specialisms, helping to upskill colleagues, strengthen corporate resilience, and maintain consistent professional standards. This supports two key outcomes: a professional and consistent approach to contract interpretation and delivery, and robust, defensible contractual decision making when assessing complex project risks. The scope of a PCM's work is fluid and determined by their specialism. Depending on their expertise and team needs, a PCM may focus on day to day management of a portfolio of CfDs, support the development of commercial and contractual architecture for new FOAK schemes, or undertake a combination of both. In all cases, PCMs support wider Scheme Delivery and LCCC initiatives and regularly engage with internal stakeholders such as Legal, Data & Analytics and Finance, as well as external stakeholders including DESNZ, DfT, Ofgem and EMRS. Key Responsibilities The role combines specialist leadership across Scheme Delivery with responsibility for managing an assigned contract portfolio. Serve as a subject matter expert across technical, project development, commercial and contractual matters, providing authoritative advice and supporting the resolution of complex issues across Scheme Delivery. Work with peers to maintain shared professional standards, quality assurance and consistent contract interpretation, while developing guidance, process maps, best practice and lessons learned to strengthen capability across the wider contract management cohort. Lead or support technical and project development assessments, including reviewing claims, providing challenge, and making or recommending decisions in line with the Delegated Authority Framework. Support the development of scheme design, contractual architecture and key decisions by preparing analysis and advice for government stakeholders, including DESNZ, DfT and other clients. Manage an assigned portfolio of contracts, including day to day relationship management, contract administration, communications, reporting, site visits, document management, and oversight of scheme specific workload and tasks. Own and manage technical, commercial and contractual processes and issues across the portfolio, applying judgement in line with LCCC guidance to identify risks, resolve issues, prevent disputes, and elevate concerns or improvement opportunities where appropriate. Work collaboratively with counterparties, internal teams and external advisers to support project delivery, contract compliance, and readiness for payment commencement under the relevant scheme arrangements. Monitor construction progress, compliance requirements and key portfolio risks, and provide high quality analysis, reporting and advice to government and internal stakeholders on issues affecting contracts, projects or wider Scheme Delivery activities. Skills Knowledge and Expertise Essential Technical / Engineering track: STEM related degree and professional accreditation such as Chartered Engineer (preferred), with around 6 years of relevant experience; or 10 years of demonstrable technical, engineering, project development or project management experience in technologies relevant to the portfolio. Commercial / Financial track: Professional qualification in finance, accounting or commercial law (for example ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CFA), or a degree in economics, law, finance or a related discipline, with around 6 years of relevant experience; or 10 years of demonstrable experience in a commercial or legal lead role relevant to the portfolio. Technical or commercial knowledge relevant to the specialism, for example renewable and low carbon technologies, energy infrastructure, project finance, or government supported schemes. Excellent contract management and interpretation experience, including at least two of the following: contract review and interpretation, negotiation, change management and administration, or claims and dispute management. Good understanding of relevant legal, regulatory, commercial and contract management issues, with the judgement to analyse complex issues, develop practical solutions, and maintain effective working relationships. Superb financial management capability, including cost assurance, financial reporting oversight, audit support, and working knowledge of commercial value mechanisms such as gainshare or return arrangements. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical, commercial and contractual issues clearly to different audiences. Desirable Experience in the UK energy sector, including power generation, low carbon infrastructure, energy regulation, or government sponsored scheme delivery, supported by a good understanding of the current UK energy policy and regulatory landscape. Knowledge of Contracts for Difference (CfD) and/or experience of project finance transactions or project management. Experience of designing or advising on business models, contractual mechanisms or commercial architecture for first of a kind (FOAK) or government mandated schemes. Demonstrable ability to build and manage effective stakeholder relationships across multiple parties. Employee Benefits Annual performance based bonus, up to 10% 25 days annual leave, plus eight bank holidays Up to 8% pension contribution Financial support and time off for study relevant to your role, plus a professional membership subscription Employee referral scheme (up to £1500), and colleague recognition scheme Family friendly policies, including enhanced maternity leave and shared parental leave Free, confidential employee assistance, including financial management, family care, mental health, and on call GP service Three paid volunteering days a year Season ticket loan and cycle to work schemes Family savings on days out and English Heritage, gym discounts, cash back and discounts at selected retailers Employee resource groups

Principal Contract Manager Department: Scheme Delivery Employment Type: Permanent Location: Birmingham, England, United Kingdom; Leeds, England, United Kingdom Reporting To: Head of Account & Program Management Description Contract type: Permanent Hours: 37.5 / week Vacancies: 3 Salary: circa £80,000 depending on experience Location: Birmingham or Leeds WFH policy: Employees are required to attend the office 2 days/week Flexible working: Variety of flexible work patterns subject to line manager discretion e.g. Compressed 9-day fortnight. Reports to: Head of Account & Contract Management Deadline Note: We reserve the right to close the advert before the advertised deadline if there are a high volume of applications. Role Summary: The Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) is a private limited company wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (ESNZ). It plays a key role in transforming the UK's electricity system by helping to ensure future supply is secure, low carbon and affordable as the UK progresses towards Net Zero 2050. LCCC is the counterparty to the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme, through which low carbon generation is supported to compete with conventional fossil fuel generation. There are now over 500 CfDs in total, spanning technologies including offshore wind, onshore wind, solar and biomass conversion. LCCC also supports the Government's net zero ambitions by enabling and supporting tens of billions of pounds of investment in low carbon infrastructure. This is achieved through the development of contractual mechanisms that make First of a Kind (FOAK) projects investable. LCCC will be the counterparty to a growing range of new and bespoke schemes, including CCUS, Hydrogen, Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Nuclear, and other government mandated programmes. It is responsible for ensuring these schemes are constructed and operated as intended, preserving value for government and maintaining investor confidence. Given that LCCC is a not for profit organisation, this is not a typical contract or commercial management role. Performance is not measured against a bottom line, but instead by two guiding principles: to maintain investors' confidence in the CfD and wider scheme portfolio, and to minimise cost to consumers whilst enabling the delivery of low carbon projects. Principal Contract Managers (PCMs) are senior specialist roles within the Scheme Delivery directorate, defined by subject matter expertise rather than line management. PCMs act as subject matter experts across project delivery, technical assessment and commercial domains, and are the go to authority for complex contractual, project development, technical and commercial matters across the portfolio. In addition to core contract management responsibilities, PCMs support the wider directorate with complex issues arising across the portfolio. They work as part of a wider PCM cohort with complementary specialisms, helping to upskill colleagues, strengthen corporate resilience, and maintain consistent professional standards. This supports two key outcomes: a professional and consistent approach to contract interpretation and delivery, and robust, defensible contractual decision making when assessing complex project risks. The scope of a PCM's work is fluid and determined by their specialism. Depending on their expertise and team needs, a PCM may focus on day to day management of a portfolio of CfDs, support the development of commercial and contractual architecture for new FOAK schemes, or undertake a combination of both. In all cases, PCMs support wider Scheme Delivery and LCCC initiatives and regularly engage with internal stakeholders such as Legal, Data & Analytics and Finance, as well as external stakeholders including DESNZ, DfT, Ofgem and EMRS. Key Responsibilities The role combines specialist leadership across Scheme Delivery with responsibility for managing an assigned contract portfolio. Serve as a subject matter expert across technical, project development, commercial and contractual matters, providing authoritative advice and supporting the resolution of complex issues across Scheme Delivery. Work with peers to maintain shared professional standards, quality assurance and consistent contract interpretation, while developing guidance, process maps, best practice and lessons learned to strengthen capability across the wider contract management cohort. Lead or support technical and project development assessments, including reviewing claims, providing challenge, and making or recommending decisions in line with the Delegated Authority Framework. Support the development of scheme design, contractual architecture and key decisions by preparing analysis and advice for government stakeholders, including DESNZ, DfT and other clients. Manage an assigned portfolio of contracts, including day to day relationship management, contract administration, communications, reporting, site visits, document management, and oversight of scheme specific workload and tasks. Own and manage technical, commercial and contractual processes and issues across the portfolio, applying judgement in line with LCCC guidance to identify risks, resolve issues, prevent disputes, and elevate concerns or improvement opportunities where appropriate.

LCCC will be the counterparty to a growing range of new and bespoke schemes, including CCUS, Hydrogen, Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Nuclear, and other government mandated programmes. It is responsible for ensuring these schemes are constructed and operated as intended, preserving value for government and maintaining investor confidence. Given that LCCC is a not for profit organisation, this is not a typical contract or commercial management role. Performance is not measured against a bottom line, but instead by two guiding principles: to maintain investors' confidence in the CfD and wider scheme portfolio, and to minimise cost to consumers whilst enabling the delivery of low carbon projects. Principal Contract Managers (PCMs) are senior specialist roles within the Scheme Delivery directorate, defined by subject matter expertise rather than line management. PCMs act as subject matter experts across project delivery, technical assessment and commercial domains, and are the go to authority for complex contractual, project development, technical and commercial matters across the portfolio. In addition to core contract management responsibilities, PCMs support the wider directorate with complex issues arising across the portfolio. They work as part of a wider PCM cohort with complementary specialisms, helping to upskill colleagues, strengthen corporate resilience, and maintain consistent professional standards. This supports two key outcomes: a professional and consistent approach to contract interpretation and delivery, and robust, defensible contractual decision making when assessing complex project risks. The scope of a PCM's work is fluid and determined by their specialism. Depending on their expertise and team needs, a PCM may focus on day to day management of a portfolio of CfDs, support the development of commercial and contractual architecture for new FOAK schemes, or undertake a combination of both. In all cases, PCMs support wider Scheme Delivery and LCCC initiatives and regularly engage with internal stakeholders such as Legal, Data & Analytics and Finance, as well as external stakeholders including DESNZ, DfT, Ofgem and EMRS. Key Responsibilities The role combines specialist leadership across Scheme Delivery with responsibility for managing an assigned contract portfolio. Serve as a subject matter expert across technical, project development, commercial and contractual matters, providing authoritative advice and supporting the resolution of complex issues across Scheme Delivery. Work with peers to maintain shared professional standards, quality assurance and consistent contract interpretation, while developing guidance, process maps, best practice and lessons learned to strengthen capability across the wider contract management cohort. Lead or support technical and project development assessments, including reviewing claims, providing challenge, and making or recommending decisions in line with the Delegated Authority Framework. Support the development of scheme design, contractual architecture and key decisions by preparing analysis and advice for government stakeholders, including DESNZ, DfT and other clients. Manage an assigned portfolio of contracts, including day to day relationship management, contract administration, communications, reporting, site visits, document management, and oversight of scheme specific workload and tasks. Own and manage technical, commercial and contractual processes and issues across the portfolio, applying judgement in line with LCCC guidance to identify risks, resolve issues, prevent disputes, and elevate concerns or improvement opportunities where appropriate. Work collaboratively with counterparties, internal teams and external advisers to support project delivery, contract compliance, and readiness for payment commencement under the relevant scheme arrangements. Monitor construction progress, compliance requirements and key portfolio risks, and provide high quality analysis, reporting and advice to government and internal stakeholders on issues affecting contracts, projects or wider Scheme Delivery activities. Skills Knowledge and Expertise Essential Technical / Engineering track: STEM related degree and professional accreditation such as Chartered Engineer (preferred), with around 6 years of relevant experience; or 10 years of demonstrable technical, engineering, project development or project management experience in technologies relevant to the portfolio. Commercial / Financial track: Professional qualification in finance, accounting or commercial law (for example ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CFA), or a degree in economics, law, finance or a related discipline, with around 6 years of relevant experience; or 10 years of demonstrable experience in a commercial or legal lead role relevant to the portfolio. Technical or commercial knowledge relevant to the specialism, for example renewable and low carbon technologies, energy infrastructure, project finance, or government supported schemes. Excellent contract management and interpretation experience, including at least two of the following: contract review and interpretation, negotiation, change management and administration, or claims and dispute management. Good understanding of relevant legal, regulatory, commercial and contract management issues, with the judgement to analyse complex issues, develop practical solutions, and maintain effective working relationships. Superb financial management capability, including cost assurance, financial reporting oversight, audit support, and working knowledge of commercial value mechanisms such as gainshare or return arrangements. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical, commercial and contractual issues clearly to different audiences. Desirable Experience in the UK energy sector, including power generation, low carbon infrastructure, energy regulation, or government sponsored scheme delivery, supported by a good understanding of the current UK energy policy and regulatory landscape. Knowledge of Contracts for Difference (CfD) and/or experience of project finance transactions or project management. Experience of designing or advising on business models, contractual mechanisms or commercial architecture for first of a kind (FOAK) or government mandated schemes. Demonstrable ability to build and manage effective stakeholder relationships across multiple parties. Employee Benefits Annual performance based bonus, up to 10% 25 days annual leave, plus eight bank holidays Up to 8% pension contribution Financial support and time off for study relevant to your role, plus a professional membership subscription Employee referral scheme (up to £1500), and colleague recognition scheme Family friendly policies, including enhanced maternity leave and shared parental leave Free, confidential employee assistance, including financial management, family care, mental health, and on call GP service Three paid volunteering days a year Season ticket loan and cycle to work schemes Family savings on days out and English Heritage, gym discounts, cash back and discounts at selected retailers Employee resource groups

Senior Customer Success Manager - Operations UK, Manchester About THG Ingenuity THG Ingenuity is a fully integrated digital commerce ecosystem, designed to power brands without limits. Our global end-to-end tech platform is comprised of three products: THG Commerce, THG Studios, THG Fulfilment. Each represents a single, unified solution, overcoming challenges and taking brands direct-to-consumer. Our client portfolio includes globally recognised brands such as Coca-Cola, Nestle, Elemis, Homebase, and Proctor & Gamble. In this role you will be responsible for one of THG Fulfil's largest and most complex accounts, spanning B2B/channel and B2C/D2C fulfilment, inbound and new product introduction (NPI), value-added services, systems integration, and commercial administration, with direct exposure to both client leadership and THG group executives. The Role This is one of the most strategic, highest-visibility accounts in the Fulfil portfolio, and a newly created, dedicated role to match. It carries real intensity: a daily governance and reporting obligation, and a breadth of scope across B2B, B2C/D2C, inbound, NPI, VAS, integrations and commercial that effectively spans several workstreams under one relationship. With that comes genuine ownership. The successful candidate will be THG's primary point of contact for the client's operational, logistics and programme teams, translating their requirements into internal action across warehouse operations, transport, IT/integrations, ISC and commercial - and holding those teams to delivery. They will own the account's governance calendar and daily reporting, resolve escalations end-to-end, and hold credible technical conversations on integrations without needing to do that work personally. This is a role for someone who wants to run something significant, not administer it. Why This Role Real seniority from day one:of one of Fulfil's largest and most complex accounts - you're the person in the room with senior leadership on both sides, not a supporting player. A genuine growth track:this account and role are being created because the business is investing in getting its biggest relationships right; strong performance here is a natural springboard toward Account Director. Influence, not just delivery:you'll shape governance, commercial terms and how internal teams organise around the account, rather than just following a playbook. Depth over breadth:rather than spread thin across a portfolio, this is a rare chance to build deep, specialist expertise across the commercial, operational and technical sides of one major account. Key Responsibilities Client Relationship & Day-to-Day Ownership Act as the primary THG point of contactfor the client's operational, logistics and programme teams, including their EMEA fulfilment, transportation, global service & logistics and extended workforce (xWF) partners. Run a weekly 1:1 with the client account lead,plus regular ad hoc syncs with programme and technical contacts, translating requirements into internal actions across warehouse operations, transport, IT/integrations, ISC and commercial - and holding those teams to delivery. Governance & Reporting Own the account's governance calendar,including MBRs, QBRs, daily hypercare calls, and weekly ops, VAS, D2C & Inbound and PM check-in calls - a minimum of two hours of scheduled client contact every working day before reporting, escalation handling or project work. Produce supporting evidence packsfor dispute resolution, and supply data extracts on request. Own live, cross-functional escalations end-to-end,keeping internal teams coordinated and the client informed throughout. Provide same-day resolution and communicationto the client and THG executives, including outside standard hours when escalations land on weekends. Systems & Integration Oversight Maintain working fluency in EDI and integration conceptssufficient to triage issues and hold credible technical conversations with the client's technical teams, without doing the integration work personally. Support ongoing platform and project workincluding THG portal development, Fulfil UI change requests, and client-specific ISC process fixes, demos and training. Project & Change Delivery Lead delivery of account-specific projects and programmes(e.g. VAS/device rework programmes, NPI set-up, dangerous-goods order flow, EMEA programme initiatives) working across warehouse, transport, IT and ISC. Commercial Support Lead commercial alignment sessionson activity outside the standard rate card (e.g. non-SSCC handling, decant, space over-allocation, DG printing), providing the operational evidence base for commercial and compliance discussions. Requirements Client-facing account management experiencein third-party logistics or supply chain, ideally with enterprise technology or consumer electronics clients. Strong data and reporting capability- able to build compliance and performance reporting from raw operational data without analyst support. Working understanding of EDI and integration concepts(945s, SSCC, IMEI and serialised stock, ASN flows) sufficient to triage issues and hold a credible technical conversation. Confident operating at executive levelon both sides of the relationship, including under escalation. Able to influence internal operational teams without direct line authorityacross warehouse, transport, IT, ISC and commercial teams. Resilience and availability -this account generates genuine out-of-hours and weekend demand during live escalations. Proven ability to manage a high-volume governance calendar(ten or more recurring meetings per week) alongside reactive escalation and project work. THG Ingenuity is proud to be a Disability Confident Committed employer.
