Meet Amanda, a Commercial Manager

After finishing my Law degree, I embarked on the inevitable next steps, the Legal Practice Course and employment within a commercial law firm. The predictable career path wasn’t for me. I soon got fed up with repetitive tasks and grey suits. When I saw the job advert for TPP, it felt like a huge leap of faith… this was not the plan discussed with career advisors at school, nor did I know much about technology! But no prior experience was required, and I’ve been here ever since – over 10 years!

I’m able to apply the skills I developed during my Law degree to my work as a Commercial Manager, but in a really practical and diverse way. One day I can be negotiating a multi-million-pound software contract and the next I can be setting up a company on the other side of the world.

We work in a very fast-paced environment and there is always something new to learn! You are kept on your toes but also surrounded by a bunch of great people who work together and support each other. It’s great to work for a company that encourages you to have a voice, get involved and really feel part of its strategic direction and success.
