<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">POSITION OVERVIEW</h2>
ELB Learning is seeking a Deal Support Commercial Contracts Manager to help move customer transactions from commercial alignment to signed contracts.
This role is ideal for an experienced commercial contracts professional who has worked on the sell-side within a legal or commercial contracts team and understands how enterprise deals get completed.
