Are you a commercially sharp negotiator who thrives on shaping high-value deals and influencing outcomes at the highest level? Do you want to be at the forefront of winning major public sector bids that drive meaningful change across the UK? We’re looking for a Senior Commercial Manager to lead the commercial direction on priority public sector opportunities – from initial deal shaping, negotiations, and governance, right through to contract signature. This is your chance to play a pivotal role in securing multi-million-pound opportunities that transform services for millions of people.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading the commercial strategy for complex and high-profile deals.
- Working closely with sales and bid teams to develop profitable, deliverable proposals.
- Leading client-facing negotiations and competitive dialogue with public sector organisations.
- Driving commercial oversight of pricing, risk, and governance to ensure every deal is robust and successful.
- Building trust and influence with stakeholders at all levels – from bid teams and directors to client procurement leads.
- Ensuring contracts are watertight, well-structured, and aligned to business objectives.
What we’re looking for:
- A seasoned commercial leader with a proven track record in winning, negotiating, and managing major contracts.
- Extensive knowledge of public sector bids and complex contractual models.
- Strong commercial acumen, with experience in pricing, financial modelling, and risk management.
- A confident and persuasive communicator, able to challenge, influence and inspire across senior teams.
- Resilient, creative, and able to thrive under pressure and tight deadlines.
- Ideally degree-qualified, with professional accreditation (ICAEW, ACCA, Legal, WorldCC, ICM, MCIPS or similar).
Why join us? This role offers more than just commercial management – it’s an opportunity to shape strategies, influence outcomes, and directly impact the growth of major public sector contracts. You’ll work with senior leaders, gain exposure to complex high-value deals, and be part of a team that is critical to securing the future success of our business.
If you’re ambitious, commercially astute, and excited by the challenge of leading high-stakes negotiations, we want to hear from you.
