We're currently seeking a number of experienced and ambitious Associate Commercial Lead/Commercial Manager professionals to work with our exceptional client in a secure environment, supporting challenging and highly rewarding projects.

These contract roles will require you to conduct security clearance prior to assignment. Opportunities are available in Manchester.

You'll have the potential to work effectively across a diverse range of internal projects and teams spanning multiple business units as a customer lead or an operational specialist, assessing requirements, to provide and manage the solutions and services that align with your customer's particular needs and deliver organisational excellence as well as compliance. You will be encouraged to showcase your skills on unique projects.

You will be able to demonstrate how responsiveness, efficiency and professionalism are the hallmarks of your outstanding service in supporting the Commercial Lead, accountable for your own portfolio or operational workstreams - ensuring the fulfilment of goods and services across the business. You'll employ exemplary standards through your contribution across the entire project lifecycle (specifications, ITTs, contracts and contract management). You will support continuous improvement of people and commercial capabilities, and through effective operational management and expertise, enable and drive opportunities for new activities that will enhance your customer offering, inspiring and supporting others around you to do the same. Faultless commercial acumen, exceptional influencing, prioritisation, negotiation and people skills are a must.

With significant expertise in commercial settings, your analytical ability and aptitude to balance risks and benefits as well as issue resolution will be critical. You will lead the development of strong relationships with customers, suppliers and colleagues. You will prioritise delivery of work against a backdrop of highly complex activity and competing criteria, being adaptable and experienced enough to deliver on tactical and strategic outputs. You will approach challenges and problem resolution enthusiastically, focusing on the customer and the detail to understand and address issues, create and ensure the delivery of solutions, and identify and drive opportunities for new activities that will enhance your customer offering.

These commercial roles are conducted in an environment that is far from ordinary; therefore, we're not looking for ordinary.

As an exceptional commercial professional, you will have:

• Demonstrable suitable experience in commercial roles
• Experience in sourcing, commercial operations, supply chain, or supplier management
• Responsibility for a portfolio of contract and framework agreements
• Experience of the entire project lifecycle (drafting specifications, facilitating ITTs, evaluating contracts, ensuring value for money)
• Experience in writing commercial plans and strategic documents
• Sound knowledge of buying, purchasing, invoicing, billing, and contract creation
• Ability to achieve short and long-term reductions, efficiencies and improvements
• Data analysis skills to support decision-making
• Experience in contractual issue resolution
• Ability to build, nurture, and manage strong working relationships with customers, suppliers, and colleagues
• Ideally, commercial experience in technology or digital environments

You will:

• Hold or be willing to attain a professional commercial qualification such as the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) Level 5 or equivalent, to enable you to deliver impactful results for this client.

You can also demonstrate expertise in:

• Coaching, mentoring, knowledge sharing
• Leadership, issue resolution, upskilling and people support
• Problem-solving
• Task management
• Communication

And you will role model the following behaviors:

• Proactive
• Role model

In return:

You'll join an ambitious, high-level team of skilled individuals, all focused on delivering the best outcomes.

This is a unique opportunity to move away from the mundane and work on life-changing projects.
