Join a next-gen aerospace innovator.

This is your chance to step into a business that’s redefining the future of flight. Specialising in both crewed and uncrewed aircraft systems, the company has grown its headcount by 85% in just two years — with recent investment accelerating their scale-up even further.

Despite new backing, the business retains its agile, fast-paced culture, and now needs a Principal Commercial Officer to help mature its commercial capability. You'll sit at the crossroads of Business Development, Bids, and Contracts, ensuring the business runs efficiently — and is positioned for long-term growth.

What You’ll Do

• Shape commercial input across early-stage programmes and proposals
• Draft, negotiate, and manage bids and agreements with customers, suppliers, and partners
• Work cross-functionally across finance, legal, delivery, and engineering teams
• Support customer relationship development and influence payment/IPR strategies
• Ensure risk and obligations are appropriately managed and flowed down

What You’ll Bring

• Commercial experience
• Proven track record in contract negotiation and bid/proposal development
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills
• UK right to work and eligibility for Security Clearance (5+ years UK residency)

Why This Role?

• Join a high-growth, well-backed company at a pivotal time
• Work across the full product lifecycle — from concept to delivery
• Engage with exciting technology in the UAS space
• Access to a generous benefits package including private healthcare, life insurance, pension, and more
