**Job summary**:
Building a strong Commercial Function in Government, and with it the right commercial capability, is at the heart of a far-reaching programme of Civil Service reform.

We are building a cadre of commercial talent in all Government departments; people who can manage our commercial portfolios, who can lead our most complex and novel programmes and projects, people who have the gravitas and depth of experience to work alongside our policy and operational leaders to develop innovative commercial arrangements, whether through joint ventures, outsourcing or best-in-class contracts.

Appointments will be made on merit on the basis of fair and open competition. We have already made significant progress through the establishment of the Government Commercial Organisation (GCO), our single employer of senior commercial talent across government. This role will sit within the GCO, but based in our MoD commercial team delivering departmental objectives.

You will lead a team of highly capable commercial professionals providing leadership, commercial expertise and relationship building skills to build a clear picture of demand and the resources needed to support and deliver it.

You will be supporting the development of the future RAF commercial strategy, central to our business operations, so a strategic focus and ability to see the bigger picture is a must.

You will get insight and build knowledge and expertise into the way the MoD and government operates, with a new experience and learning around every corner.

The role sits on the Air Commercial Senior Management Team and Commercial Strategy Hub Management Team, in addition to your immediate area of responsibility you will also play a wider leadership role across Air Commercial, supporting continued commercial transformation within Air Command and MOD as well as contributing to wider government commercial initiatives. We expect our leaders to be exemplars in our culture of inclusivity, balance and maintaining high standards.

**Person specification**:

- Operate as part of the Air Commercial Senior Management Team, working collegiately to deliver Air Commercial's leadership objectives
- Lead on the development of demand and resource planning across Air Commercial, working closely with stakeholders and delivery teams
- Accountable for the ongoing implementation of Air Command’s Category Management operating model
- Lead on the development of new Air Command Category Strategies and provide direction for the development of strategies with Delivery Agents
- Assist in the development of procurement and commercial strategies and routes to market for specific Air Command funded procurement projects where applicable
- Work closely with the business and broader category management and commercial communities within MOD to drive and embed the necessary changes in behaviors and processes required to maximize the delivery of the benefits from the relevant category strategies
- Contribute to the Government Commercial Function and the Defence Commercial Function through participation and support of key initiatives
- Commercial duties associated with grade, as business need requires

**Technical skills**:
We'll assess you against these technical skills during the selection process:

- **Manages Complexity** - proven ability to operate in complex multi-stakeholder environments, considering the big picture and using a variety of data and information sources to appraise commercial options and articulate recommendations
- **Commercial Focus** - demonstrable experience in developing and delivering complex commercial st
