About the role

As Origin Zero continues to accelerate its growth, we’re looking for a Contracts Analyst to support the development and delivery of commercial agreements that enable innovative, lower-carbon energy solutions.

This is a fantastic opportunity to build your career in a high-impact commercial environment.

• Demonstrated experience in commercial, legal, risk, or contract roles
• Degree in commerce, law, or related discipline
• Strong attention to detail and contract management capability
• Ability to assess risk and provide practical recommendations
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
