Location: Reading (Hybrid 2 days on site)

Compensation: £700 - £850 Per Day Outside IR35

Overview:

Are you ready to contribute to a significant Transformation Programme that aims to enhance the UK Industrial Strategy? This initiative focuses on increasing productivity by supporting Manufacturing enterprises to create sustainable employment opportunities and improve the living standards and earning potential of individuals across the UK through investments in skills, advanced machinery, and modern infrastructure.

This dynamic organization is seeking to drive growth within the UK Manufacturing Sector by modernizing and enhancing capabilities and efficiencies throughout the broader UK PLC.

We are in search of a highly skilled and credible Commercial Strategy Lead who can adeptly navigate the landscape of Private Commercial Enterprises, including Global FTSE 250 companies and SMEs within the Manufacturing sector. A strategic understanding of Procurement in both Private and Public Sectors, along with complex Government Contract regulations related to Nuclear and MOD, is essential. Experience collaborating closely with the Cabinet Office and the Ministry of Defence will be a notable advantage.

It is necessary to obtain SC Clearance for this role, and having existing security clearance would be beneficial.

Key Responsibilities:

As the commercial lead for business operations teams and sponsors, you will oversee the future potential pipeline prior to formal budget approval, developing business cases for various market entry strategies. Your collaboration with sponsors will include:

  • Conducting make/buy analyses to assess whether a new infrastructure solution or outsourcing represents the best value.
  • Performing route to market analyses to confirm if the solution can be delivered under existing frameworks or if a single contract is required.
  • Creating a Commercial Case to align commercial and investment decision-making.
  • Working with the commercial engagement team to ensure the statement of requirements is fully agreed upon and understood.
  • Facilitating the handover to commercial strategy and procurement teams once the commercial case is finalized.

The Commercial Strategy Lead will manage a team of two, guiding and developing solutions that align with the objectives of the Head of Strategic Sourcing.

  • Commercial Acumen: Proficient in translating business needs into a commercial strategy with a deep understanding of core commercial risks.
  • Experience: Must possess experience in complex commercial strategies exceeding £500m, whether in construction projects or major complex programs (e.g., defense or rail projects).
  • Leadership & Influence: Essential skills to produce effective strategy documents, present to C-suite executives, and influence decision-making.
  • Data-Driven: Ability to review and analyze business and commercial data to formulate insightful recommendations.

If you are interested in working within an innovative and complex organization on classified programs, offering a substantial opportunity for real impact, and possess the resilience and determination to advance projects in a highly regulated environment, we encourage you to explore this compelling opportunity.
