Job description

Chief Commercial Officer

Are you a commercial leader who understands the complexities of working with — and within — the public sector?

We’re supporting a rapidly scaling organisation that sits at the intersection of procurement, services, and innovation. They’re looking for a Chief Commercial Officer to shape and deliver a growth strategy that truly makes a difference — driving value, efficiency, and impact for customers across both public and private sectors.

This is a pivotal executive role — leading high-performing teams across sales, marketing, and strategic partnerships — with responsibility for accelerating growth, expanding into new markets, and enhancing client experience across a diverse portfolio.

Success will depend on more than sales performance. It requires someone who can navigate the nuances of public procurement, understands how to create measurable social and economic value, and can bridge the language of commercial innovation with the governance and compliance of the public sector.

You will:

• Lead and evolve the commercial strategy across multiple sectors.
• Identify and execute new opportunities that deliver tangible value to customers.
• Build strategic relationships with key clients and stakeholders across the public domain.
• Champion innovation and collaboration to enhance brand reputation and market impact.
• Inspire and develop teams to deliver against ambitious growth targets.

You bring:

• A proven track record in commercial leadership, delivering growth and value at scale.
• Strong understanding of public procurement and the frameworks that underpin it.
• Experience in both public and private sector environments.
• The vision to drive transformation through insight, collaboration, and performance.

If you’re motivated by making an impact — not just growing numbers — and want to help an ambitious organisation deliver real value, we’d love to hear from you.
