[Hiring] Commercial Contracts Manager @10x Genomics

Role Description

10x Genomics tools fuel scientific discoveries and drive exponential progress to master biology to advance human health for researchers across the globe. More of that technology is reaching labs than at any point in our history, almost none of it possible without a tender won or a contract signed.

As Commercial Contracts Manager, EMEA, you are the primary legal contact and business partner for EMEA Sales across a full range of customer-facing legal tasks, including:

• Drafting and negotiating terms of sale, master supply agreements, collaborations, and MOUs
• Owning tender processes end to end
• Making the call when a deal needs an answer today

This is an individual contributor, remote-based role reporting to the Associate Director, Commercial Contracts, as part of a global contracts team, working at pace in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.

This is not a role for administering standardised processes. You will thrive in an environment in which much of what you meet will be new, and you are trusted to propose solutions and implement them, often on deadlines measured in days. You are a specialist in removing contracting friction while managing risk appropriately, and you naturally build the relationships, internally and with customers, that make it all possible.

• Demonstrable experience with public procurement in major EMEA markets
• Bachelor's degree and/or equivalent work experience
• Highly organised, excellent communication skills, and detail-oriented
• Ability to assess legal and business risks and provide rapid, pragmatic solutions in urgent and demanding situations
• Self-directed and proactive, comfortable executing on multiple projects independently and in collaboration with others
• Available during European business hours

Requirements

• Commercial contracting experience across RUO and diagnostic products and services, and SaaS offerings
• Understanding of the principles of revenue recognition
• Experience with implementing and using AI tools, in particular for contract review and management
• Law degree and/or qualification to practice as a lawyer in any jurisdiction

Benefits

• Empowered and encouraged teams to follow their passions and pursue new ideas
• An inclusive and dynamic environment
• Opportunities to drive innovations and discoveries that lead to better technologies and treatments
