**Summary**:
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is the UK Government’s fourth largest spending Department with a budget exceeding £36Bn per year and net assets valued at over £100Bn. The MOD is responsible for over 40% of the value of all Government contracts placed with the private sector each year.

As part of the MOD, Strategic Command (UKStratCom) manages all allocated joint capabilities from the three armed services, Air, Navy and Army.

Strategic Command Commercial arguably offers one of the most commercially varied and challenging environments in Defence Commercial and the incumbent will have the opportunity to make a significant difference to the End Users’ ability to support the UK Governments domestic and international agenda.

This is a great opportunity to work in an environment offering a diverse range of projects that will hone existing skills whilst delivering essential commercial sourcing and contract management activities.

**Job description**:
We are currently recruiting for a Commercial Officer who will provide support in the delivery of essential procurement and contract management services. They would be working on a range of projects from £10k to £5m. This would include all stages of the procurement lifecycle including pre-sourcing, sourcing and contract management. Some example categories are Military Training Services, Medical Equipment and Services including Prosthetics and Research Contracts.

Although some of the workload is programmed, the nature of operations dictates that the post-holder should expect to work in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment.

The department is currently working in a hybrid environment (office/home working). The main location for Defence Medical Services is Lichfield therefore travelling to Lichfield at least once a month is essential. You will also be expected to travel to other MOD sites to engage with commercial colleagues and key stakeholders (across the UK) as required. Examples include travel to the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre in Loughborough and Abbey Wood in Bristol.

For travel to locations that are not classed as your duty station, travel expenses will be reimbursed but when attending your primary duty station, no travel expenses will be reimbursed.

**Responsibilities**:
You will have good technical/IT knowledge with the ability to learn how to use the MoD Systems, and to understand the legal and regulatory framework within which the Department operates.

You should be a self-starter, an effective communicator and able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Good communication and people skills, verbal and written are essential.
Key activities include:

- Acting as a commercial point of contact for Low Value Procurements, providing commercial advice on CP&F.
- Management of requisitions, purchase orders, agreements, and the on-boarding of new suppliers.
- Engage with stakeholders in a timely and appropriate manner demonstrating and promoting MOD Commercial policies and practices.
- Providing support to Contract Managers with contract administration and amendments
- Provide commercial advice and guidance, establishing professional relationships with a range of stakeholders.
- Develop robust commercial strategies that will deliver effective contractual solutions.
- Compile, issue and evaluate tenders and working collaboratively with the wider commercial team on best practice and lessons learned.

**Person specification**

We are seeking to fill the role of Commercial Officer with a motivated individual who is proactive, able to use efficient time management and has excellent organisational skills.

This post will suit either an experienced Commercial Officer or someone who is currently developing their skills in procurement or commercial.
- Have high standards of written and verbal communication
- Be willing to help develop the Commercial function and embrace change
- Be willing to share information, knowledge and skills to drive continuous improvement and better ways of working
- Have a strong focus on meeting customer requirements
- Can understand the bigger picture whilst dealing with the essential detail
- Enjoy solving complex problems and can deliver clear and effective solutions

Desirable: Knowledge of Public Contract Regulations (PCR) and use of procurement tools such as CP&F and DSP.
