**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.

They will have responsibility for commercial management of significant expenditure and contracts with total annual spend of c. £3bn.

**Person specification**:
As a senior member of the Government Commercial Function you will also actively participate in the leadership and delivery of the wider function: Raising standards by improving commercial skills and capability, by using the professional curriculum and implementing the cross Government commercial standards. You will play a role in the broader commercial reform programme led by the Government Chief Commercial Officer including contributing time as an assessor at the Assessment & Development Centre to ensure continuing high standards.
