Job Title: Senior Contracts & Claims Manager

About the Role

As a key member of the Global Capital Sourcing team, the Senior Contracts & Claims Manager is responsible for the commercial management of medium to large greenfield and brownfield CAPEX projects (valued at $5M+ USD).

In this role, you will protect Lonza’s contractual rights and entitlements, ensure contractor compliance, mitigate contract execution risks, and deliver optimized value-for-money and lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Serving as a commercial expert, you will work in close coordination with Strategic Global Engineering (SGIE), local project teams, Legal, and Finance to deliver high-quality investment projects on time and within budget.

Key Responsibilities

Contract Execution & Safeguarding: Lead post-award contract execution across project phases (execution, commissioning, evaluation) to secure Lonza’s contractual rights, manage change orders, oversee delay/conflict management, and enforce warranty and performance guarantees.
Claim Management & Dispute Resolution: Identify outgoing claim opportunities and develop defense strategies against incoming contractor claims; prepare required notifications, correspondence, and documentation for negotiations, settlements, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), or arbitration.
Procurement Strategy & Risk Mitigation: Collaborate with Global Engineering (SGIE) and Project Management to define contracting strategies and risk mitigation plans, ensuring adherence to Lonza's procurement standards and cost-control systems.
Tender & Contract Negotiation: Review new tenders, support negotiations for major capital contracts and subcontracts with strategic suppliers, and summarize key contractual risks and deviations for project leadership.
Supplier Relationship & Performance Management: Drive supplier accountability through performance scorecards, manage issue escalations, maintain high-quality vendor relationships, and lead periodic commercial audits of main contractors.
Stakeholder Alignment & Governance: Engages proactively with key internal stakeholders—including Legal, Finance, SGIE, and site project managers—to clarify commercial requirements and ensure a unified corporate approach to external suppliers.
Reporting & Administrative Oversight: Maintain contract progress, variations, and claim documentation in official company repositories, reporting regularly to Project and Procurement leadership.
General Duties: Perform other related duties and strategic capital procurement initiatives as assigned.

Key Requirements

CAPEX Contract Expertise: Proven track record in commercial contract management for large-scale industrial CAPEX projects ($5M+ USD), including EPC/EPCM frameworks and complex construction agreements.
Advanced Claim & Dispute Resolution: Specialized experience in developing claim and defense strategies, handling contract variations, delay management, and participating in dispute resolution or arbitration processes.
Procurement & Engineering Collaboration: Strong experience working alongside Global Engineering (SGIE), project teams, and legal counsel within a complex manufacturing, biotech, or chemical environment.
Commercial Negotiation: Demonstrated capability to lead high-stakes negotiations with global contractors, consultants, and strategic capital equipment suppliers.
Risk & Financial Management: Solid understanding of project cost control systems, bank guarantees, cash flow monitoring, back-charges, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) principles.
