Description

Company Description Supply Chain Contracts Lead Full time, onsite, Melbourn, Cambridgeshire. Cell therapies are changing what is possible for patients with devastating diseases like cancer by re-programming their own immune systems to fight disease. To make these therapies available to many more people, they need to be manufactured reliably, at scale, and in a way that is commercially sustainable. That means building supplier relationships and contracts that truly support long-term, GMP-grade manufacturing. This is where Cellular Origins is focused, and where you could make a direct impact. Cellular Origins, a TTP company, is enabling scalable, cost-effective and efficient manufacture of cell and gene therapies. Our robotic manufacturing automation platform is designed to reduce cost and labour, eliminate human error, and increase efficiency, without forcing therapy developers to re-invent their processes. As Supply Chain Contracts Lead, you’ll be close to the technology while shaping the commercial and contractual frameworks that make it work in the real world. Job Description About the role This is a hands-on role at the intersection of supply chain, legal and technology. You’ll support, and where appropriate lead, contracting and commercial negotiations with key suppliers and CDMOs across equipment, consumables, software and services. You’ll turn complex technical, supply and regulatory requirements into clear, pragmatic contracts that protect the business while enabling us to move at the pace our customers need. You’ll become a go-to partner for colleagues who need to understand what our contracts allow, require and protect. What you’ll do Working closely with Supply Chain, Legal and Finance, you’ll get to: • Coordinate and support negotiation of MSAs, Supply Agreements, Statements of Work and Quality or Technical Agreements with key suppliers and CDMOs. • Translate supply risk and criticality into appropriate commercial and contractual protections, so contracts reflect real-world risk. • Ensure supplier contracts align with our commercial models, customer commitments and regulatory expectations. • Maintain a clear, accessible view of key terms, dates and obligations through concise contract summaries and a simple contract register. • Support supplier business reviews, escalation and amendments, making sure outcomes are properly reflected in updated agreements. • Work directly with technical and commercial stakeholders, helping them articulate requirements and turning these into contract language that works for everyone. You’ll be joining at a build phase, so you’ll have the space to help shape how we manage supplier contracts as we scale. Qualifications About you You’ll enjoy this role if you like being close to the technology and supply chain, and turning moving parts into clear, well-structured agreements. You’ll bring: • Experience in commercial contracts, supplier contracts or commercial management, ideally in a technology, manufacturing, pharma or medical device setting. • Confidence working with legal documents and familiarity with core contractual concepts such as liability, indemnity, warranties, IP, confidentiality, termination and service levels. • Experience supporting or leading negotiations with suppliers, for example hardware, consumables, CDMOs, software or services. • Familiarity with supply chain and procurement priorities, including lead times, MOQs, capacity, risk and cost drivers. • Ability to work with Quality and Regulatory colleagues to align commercial contracts with technical and quality agreements. • A pragmatic approach, comfortable working at pace and balancing competing requirements to find solutions that work. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to mark up contracts and explain key issues clearly to non-specialists. • Organised and reliable habits in tracking versions, dates and obligations across multiple agreements. If you like the idea of your contract work directly influencing how cell therapies can be manufactured and supplied at scale, this is a chance to see that impact clearly. Additional Information Cellular Origins is based on the TTP Campus, within purpose-built sustainable offices, labs and green surroundings, 10 miles south of Cambridge. Our working culture encourages entrepreneurship, shared ideas and collaboration, while providing you the freedom to do your best work. Our employee benefits include: • Annual bonus • 25 days holiday • Employer pension contribution of 10% of salary • Free lunch and all-day refreshments • Private medical insurance for employees and dependants • Enhanced family friendly leave • Life insurance worth 6x salary • Electric car leasing scheme • Cycle to work scheme • Season ticket loan • Activities and community that supports healthy activities that bring colleagues together; whether it’s lunchtime squash or football, Zumba or our own rock band. Colleagues initiate new clubs and outings whenever they feel there’s something missing! • Local sports facilities and theatre discounts and memberships.
