You will need to demonstrate strong negotiation skills, commercial acumen, be self-motivated and be able to work under pressure with short deadlines to deal with demanding stakeholders and provide guidance to ensure strong contracts and commercial agreements.

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Support commercial negotiations for frame contracts and large deals, including VBP projects, providing guidance to ensure strong set up — commercial terms (primarily) and legal terms (secondarily)

  • Perform price analysis and review key contracts and frame agreements in the region

  • Track status of negotiations, ensure keeping summary view of final terms

  • Coordinate the implementation of negotiated contracts with legal and finance

  • Support the development of pricing tools and templates to be used in designing rate cards and volume discount schedules to ensure consistent application of internal guidelines
