Customer Contracts Manager

Job Title: Customer Contracts Manager

Location: Larbert OR Scarborough

Our Vision & Why It Matters

At Alexander Dennis, our vision is to lead the evolution of sustainable on-road mass transportation and mobility.

We design, deliver, and support market-leading buses and coaches that help reduce emissions, improve air quality, and keep communities connected. Every role contributes to that mission whether you’re engineering, driving sales, improving production, or supporting our customers.

What You’ll Do

As a Customer Contracts Manager, you’ll be responsible for managing the end‑to‑end customer experience from order to delivery, ensuring customer contracts are delivered successfully from order won stage through to completion. Working closely with internal functions and external customers, you’ll own the contract management lifecycle, translating customer requirements into clear specifications, managing changes, and resolving issues to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction. You’ll play a key role in coordinating cross‑functional activity across Engineering, Operations, Quality, and Supply Chain to ensure contractual commitments are met on time, to cost, and to quality.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a commercially astute, organised, and customer‑focused professional who can manage multiple contracts and priorities in a complex manufacturing environment. You’ll bring experience in commercial or contract management, strong communication skills, and the confidence to engage with senior stakeholders and high‑profile customers. A keen attention to detail, a “right‑first‑time” mindset, and the ability to work well under pressure are essential, as is the ability to work both autonomously and as part of a wider team.

Bonus if you have:

• Experience within the bus industry or a technically complex manufacturing environment
• Technical knowledge of bus products and vehicle specifications
• Experience supporting factory visits, first vehicle sign‑off, or customer PDIs
