Westminster, United Kingdom City of Westminster Council Full time

**About Us**:
**THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE CARRICK YARD INVESTMENT**

The Finance Team in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where we go above and beyond for our residents - in all sorts of pioneering ways. Our work has the ability to have profound impact on residents’ lives. By being smart and courageous with the council’s finances means we can achieve more for our residents.

Take the Carrick Yard housing development in Luton Street. When a big international building firm couldn’t find a sales partner, we stepped in to create a joint venture partnership and underwrite any unsold units to protect our investment. Then when we felt a big banking partner would be overcharging the venture for financing the development, we decided to finance it ourselves. The result? 171 homes are now under construction, leading the redevelopment of the Church Street area, whilst the council is projecting a potential return on investment of almost 14% - far in excess of anything that can be achieved on cash deposits in current market conditions.

And why does this success matter? Because it allows us to invest even more in public services that are the lifeblood of our communities.

**The Role**:
As Commercial Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to high profile projects with a high value to Westminster and our communities. As a key member of the Procurement Service, you’ll have the chance to help develop and shape the way we procure to meet our Fairer Westminster Priorities. Helping to identify streamlined processes and support between our service and the wider Council, you’ll enjoy the chance to boost the Council’s reputation as a knowledgeable and astute Procurement & Commercial operator.

Clients will rely on you for pragmatic procurement advice and support. The guidance you provide will be informed by specialist knowledge across the service. With these insights, you’ll help to drive forward great outcomes for our residents & businesses, with optimum value for money. As the key lead on high spend procurements, you’ll take care to mitigate risk and champion compliance.

Reporting to a manager post, you will be part of a skilled team. In this highly varied role, you’ll work alongside supportive colleagues and enjoy a range of opportunities for learning and development. Your success will depend on building good working relationships with stakeholders at all levels - from colleagues in Procurement and Commercial Services teams, through to commissioners, managers and budget holders. You’ll help to identify and implement improved collaboration and business partnering.

Please refer to the **Job Description** for more information.

**About You**:
While experience in a procurement, financial or commissioning environment will definitely equip you to hit the ground running, what matters most is your keen interest in supporting major pubic sector projects.

You’ll bring to the role a combination of analytical and financial savvy with skills in time management. A proactive individual, you are comfortable leading your own projects, coordinating the work of others, and embedding new processes. What really sets you apart is your customer focus and capacity to build productive working relationships with stakeholders and external organisations at all levels.

**What We Offer**:
Westminster is an amazing place. We are home to more than 200,000 residents from all backgrounds, over 50,000 vibrant and vital businesses and three-quarters-of-a-million people work in Westminster. Westminster City Council’s strategy is to work towards a Fairer Westminster. A Fairer Westminster is one in which our communities are at the heart of our decision-making and help to determine the city’s future. By working directly with our communities and other partners, we can build a more inclusive city that celebrates our diverse communities, and where residents, workers and visitors from all backgrounds will feel welcome and safe.

As a forward-thinking Council we appreciate that people work in different ways, therefore our staff benefit from working a range of flexible working patterns as well as Agile working.
