Who we are
We are a global wealth-tech company powering the next generation of trading. We deliver cutting-edge centralised trading solutions and robust B2B financial infrastructure. Our proprietary trading platform offers clients seamless access to stocks, ETFs, bonds, futures, options, swaps, funds, and currency pairs- all within a single, multi-currency account.
We believe in the boundless flow of capital and information. Whilst developing EXANTE, we saw technology as a means to improve global connectivity of the financial services industry. Over the years, we have earned a reputation for providing superior service and for getting the results our clients and customers want.
Most importantly, people have come to know us for our technological insights and focus on privacy. Our inspiration stems from the talent and ambition of our clients. We are offering an ecosystem of financial products and services that would provide the most tailored assistance to traders.
Our culture
Everything at EXANTE starts with our people. We bring together almost 800 minds across 70 locations. We place trust in our team with real autonomy - the freedom to drive change across products, processes and everything in between. That trust fuels innovation, and the demands of the markets build resilience; we adapt, push forward, and we look after each other while we do it.
That freedom is matched by real investment in growth: we back our people with ongoing learning, hands-on development and the kind of stretch opportunities that turn good careers into great ones.
The Role Purpose
We are looking for a Group Contract Lifecycle Management Lead to take ownership of the transformation and ongoing development of EXANTE's global contract lifecycle management capability.
EXANTE operates across a complex, multi-entity and multi-jurisdictional environment, with contracts spanning clients, vendors, intra-group arrangements, employment, technology, licensing and outsourcing. Our contract estate is an important source of information for finance, regulatory, risk and operational decision-making, and we are looking to significantly improve how this information is structured, managed and used across the Group.
In this role, you will lead the development of our contract lifecycle management (CLM) capability, using Juro as the core platform. You will take the platform beyond its current use for document execution and storage, creating a structured, searchable and governed source of truth for our contracts, key obligations and contractual commitments.
This is an ownership role rather than a coordination role. You will define the target operating model, roadmap and processes, lead the implementation and adoption of the solution, and work across Legal, Compliance, Finance, IT and business teams to establish a consistent approach across the Group.
Reporting Line – Group Chief Financial Officer
Responsibilities
CLM Product Ownership
- Own the Group's contract lifecycle management roadmap, operating model and delivery plan.
- Lead the optimisation and development of Juro, including configuration, workflows, metadata, permissions and reporting.
- Assess the current CLM capability, identify gaps and define a pragmatic roadmap to deliver the target state.
- Own the relationship with Juro and any implementation partners, including configuration, support, service delivery and ongoing improvements.
- Translate business requirements into clear specifications, user stories, workflows, testing and acceptance criteria.
Contract Data & Governance
- Design and implement a consistent contract data model, taxonomy and naming conventions across the Group.
- Lead the review, cleansing and migration of legacy contracts and identify contracts currently managed outside the platform.
- Establish data quality standards, ownership and controls to ensure contract information is complete, accurate and accessible.
- Implement lifecycle and obligation management, including automated tracking of renewals, expiries, notice periods and other key contractual commitments.
- Establish appropriate retention, archiving and access standards across the contract estate.
Process & Integration
- Design and improve end-to-end contract lifecycle processes, from intake and approval through execution, storage, renewal and termination.
- Align contract approval workflows with the Group's governance and delegation of authority.
- Work with Finance Systems and other technology teams to connect contract data with procurement, vendor management, invoice approval and finance processes.
- Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and improve visibility, reporting and control across the contractual estate.
- Support the development of contract data required for regulatory, audit, due diligence and other reporting requirements.
Stakeholder Management & Adoption
- Partner with Legal, Compliance, Finance, IT, HR, Operations and business stakeholders to establish a consistent group-wide approach to contract management.
- Drive adoption of the CLM platform through training, guidance, stakeholder engagement and ongoing support.
- Establish governance, policies and procedures around contract lifecycle management and ensure they are embedded across the organisation.
- Develop management reporting and insights covering contract expiries, obligations, commitments, vendor exposure and other key metrics.
- Establish a sustainable BAU ownership model for the platform and contract lifecycle management capability.
What Success Looks Like
- Month 1–3: A clear understanding of the existing contract estate, current Juro configuration and key gaps, with an agreed target operating model, data structure and prioritised roadmap.
- Month 3–6: Core contract data and lifecycle processes implemented, with priority contracts structured, searchable and subject to appropriate governance and renewal management.
- Month 6–9: Key integrations with finance, procurement and vendor management processes established, improving visibility between contracts, commitments and spend.
- Month 9–12: Group-wide adoption embedded, reporting and regulatory data requirements supported, and a sustainable BAU ownership model established.
Qualifications
- 5+ years' experience in contract lifecycle management, legal operations, procurement systems, contract governance or a related field.
- Proven experience owning or delivering a CLM implementation or significant transformation, rather than simply administering an existing system.
- Experience with platforms such as Juro, Ironclad, Icertis, Agiloft, DocuSign CLM, ContractPodAi or similar.
- Experience working across complex, multi-entity or multi-jurisdictional organisations.
- Experience within financial services or another regulated environment is highly desirable.
- Strong understanding of contract data, metadata, taxonomies, workflows, permissions and contract lifecycle management.
- Experience translating business requirements into system configuration, workflows, integrations and user adoption.
- Experience designing or materially improving vendor management, procurement or contract governance processes, including the relationship between contracts, approvals and spend.
- Strong business analysis and project delivery skills, including process mapping, requirements gathering, testing, data migration and structured reporting.
- Sufficient systems literacy to understand and challenge integrations, APIs, data mapping and automation requirements.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive standardisation across teams without direct line authority.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
Personality and Mindset
- Ownership mentality – you take an ambiguous mandate and turn it into a clear, sequenced plan, taking responsibility for the outcome rather than waiting to be directed.
- Pragmatic and commercially minded – you focus on delivering tangible improvements and understand when a practical solution is better than an over-engineered one.
- Attention to detail – you understand that contract data can have financial, regulatory and operational consequences.
- Influence without authority – you are comfortable bringing Legal, Finance, Compliance, IT and business teams together around a common way of working.
- Resilience and independence – you are comfortable navigating complexity, competing priorities and stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions.
- Change-oriented – you enjoy improving existing processes, challenging inefficient ways of working and building scalable solutions.
- Structured thinker – you can move between strategic objectives and detailed execution, ensuring that the right things get done in the right order.
