SOC 2440 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and LOW CARBON CONTRACTS COMPANY LTD is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2432 (Marketing and commercial managers, Commercial role with contract negotiation; 'commercial manager' in title). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

Role Summary:
The Contract Development Manager is a specialist commercial role with ownership of defined contract development workstreams on assigned low-carbon energy schemes. The work spans the full arc of contract design: from developing LCCC's positions at Heads of Terms through full contract design, covering risk allocation, payment mechanics, contractual triggers, revenue adjustment mechanisms, termination provisions and change in law arrangements. The output is commercial architecture that is investable, bankable and operationally deliverable – and that works in practice, not just on paper.
LCCC's position is distinctive: as the recognised counterparty for new low-carbon schemes, it advises government and works alongside its external legal and technical advisers on how contracts should be structured, from the inside. The Contract Development Manager is central to that advisory function, ensuring that what is drafted by government lawyers reflects what LCCC's commercial analysis supports and what the organisation can genuinely operationalise over the life of the scheme.
Where schemes are live, the Contract Development Manager engages with executed contracts to enable their effective delivery, helping counterparties meet their contractual requirements and supporting low-carbon projects to succeed. The role operates with a significant degree of independence, owning workstreams and managing stakeholder relationships at working level.
This is not a typical commercial management role. Performance is not measured against a commercial bottom line, but against LCCC's two guiding principles: maintaining investor confidence in low-carbon schemes, and minimising cost to consumers whilst enabling the delivery of low-carbon projects.
