[Hiring] Senior Contracts Manager @NTT Global Data Centers

Role Description

The Senior Contracts Manager will serve as the senior contracting advisor for the development, construction, procurement, and delivery of NTT Global Data Centers projects across APAC, including India, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and other assigned markets. Reporting to the Director, Global Contracts, this role will be the region's primary contracting advisor and a strategic partner to Supply Chain, Construction, Development, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and other stakeholders.

The role will lead complex contract negotiations, advise on commercial risk, and help develop scalable contracting structures across multiple projects, entities, and jurisdictions. As the most senior contracting voice in the region, the role is expected to exercise independent judgment and to be the first call for regional and country leadership on commercial risk.

Successful candidates will demonstrate strong ownership, judgment, commercial awareness, practicality, collaboration, and a continuous improvement mindset. The strongest candidates are builders: comfortable with ambiguity, willing to create structure where none yet exists, and energized rather than frustrated by scope that is still being defined.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to independently lead sophisticated contract negotiations.
• Strong understanding of commercial risk allocation and contract strategy.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant experience required.
• JD, LLB, law degree, or equivalent legal or commercial contracting qualification preferred.

Requirements

• Ten or more years of experience negotiating complex commercial contracts in data centers, construction, infrastructure, engineering, technology, or another capital-intensive industry.
• Experience working across multiple jurisdictions and with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, analytical, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple complex matters with limited supervision.

Benefits

• Regular travel to project sites and country teams across the region is expected, approximately 10% of the time.
• The role works closely with a globally distributed contracts team and requires flexibility across time zones.
• Perform work from a remote location with stable internet connection.
