They act as the conduit between operations and finance, mitigating risks and driving performance wherever possible.

As a Commercial Manager you will…
​

* ​Lead all commercial aspects of tenders — from cost modelling and risk review to board approvals.​

* Develop and implement pricing strategies that support profitable growth and operational agility.​

* Support project and contract delivery by tracking performance, maximising margins, and issuing key contractual notices.​

* Own the commercial forecasting process — working with stakeholders to report on revenue, costs, and cashflow.​

About you…
​

​The ideal candidate will have proven experience in a similar commercial or financial role, ideally within a multi-divisional organisation. Strong negotiation skills, a clear understanding of the differences between cashflow and revenue, and practical ideas for improving both are essential. Up-to-date knowledge of contractual law and commercial practice is desirable, though a willingness to learn is equally valued. If you’re commercially astute, process-driven, and ready to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives working independently, takes ownership of commercial activities, and has the ability to implement and improve processes that drive performance.
