  • Formulating and executing a Commercial Capability Strategy that supports all aforementioned objectives, enhancing existing commercial expertise within PCD while fostering commercial awareness throughout the UK Parliament. This will encompass the design and delivery of commercial training programs.

  • A profound understanding of public sector procurement methodologies and the policies, templates, processes, and training essential for ensuring compliance and achieving outstanding commercial results.
  • Experience in developing guidance focused on the application of commercial policies and procedures in a dynamic, high-profile environment.
  • Exceptional skills in creating clear, concise, and comprehensive briefing and training materials.
  • The confidence to engage with stakeholders at all levels of seniority and commercial expertise, tailoring content and presentation style to effectively meet the needs of diverse audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

It would be advantageous if you have:

  • Experience in designing commercial policies that align with broader organizational objectives to enhance the strategic contributions of the commercial function.

Benefits
