**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.
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 Cabinet Office, HM Treasury commercial team delivering departmental objectives.
**Job description**:
A number of roles are available at the Commercial Lead grade. This includes roles within:
- **

- **
HM Treasury team** - this team provides advice and guidance for all procurement and commercial activity undertaken by HM Treasury, including a large number of fast-paced, policy-driven activities
Whilst the specific duties and challenges of each of these roles will vary according to the priorities of the team, within each role you will act as a senior commercial advisor to the business area(s) within which you are working.
You will be expected to provide commercial guidance and support to enable appropriate decision making and maximize value for money both in new procurement activity and existing supplier management, able to act under your own initiative and lead and drive commercial projects, engaging and influencing key stakeholders across the department.
At the same time, you will work with other commercial team members to enable continuous improvement and commercial capability development with your customers, working to implement new policies and processes as required.
**Responsibilities**:
- Act as a commercial advisor to the department, providing advice, guidance and support to customers to enable commercial opportunities and consequences to be understood;
- Build effective relationships with your customers (and when applicable across other central government organisations), fostering trust and transparency in order to allow you to provide the best level of commercial advice and guidance;
- Work with other team members to enable continual improvement and commercial capability development across the business unit;
- Provide hands-on targeted procurement or contract management support where required, for example where a contract or procurement activity is identified as being at risk or of high importance;
- Enable your customers to act as intelligent customers to Crown Commercial Service, advising them in creating their requirements and considering Commercial strategy and planning;
- Work with the Head of Commercial to implement any new governmental commercial policies across the department, engaging with the Government Commercial Function and other cross government departments where necessary;
- Take responsibility for ensuring that a robust commercial pipeline and contracts register is in place for the business unit, working in partnership with the central Commercial Pipeline Manager;
