**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.

- Ensure robust assurance processes are in place and followed throughout BEIS Group, including supporting the management of the Commercial Assurance Board.
- Lead and manage the critical interfaces with customers and delivery partners providing consistent professional advice.
- Engage with the Cabinet Office Commercial Controls team, liaising with the CO Business Partner to triage cases outlining areas of risk and complexity.
- Prepare effective briefs and engage with relevant stakeholders to ensure appropriate challenge is made at the right times, setting insightful conditions and recommendations to ensure correct action/direction is taken by project and commercial teams.
- Proactively engage with stakeholders to gather pipeline data and ensure conditions are met in a timely fashion.
- Support delivery of project-based activities to ensure continuous improvement and interface with the capability team to ensure capability, policy and sustainability requirements are addressed.
- Leading the Assurance and Compliance Team in engagement with commercial leads in embedding best practice Compliance and Assurance processes across the Group and liaise with Government Commercial Organisation (GCO) to leverage and implement best practice and initiatives.
- Leading the development, delivery and embedding of BEIS commercial compliance and assurance framework, ensuring robust and value add review processes are in place.
