Job description

I’m working with a growing technology business that’s looking for a Commercial Manager to help bring greater structure, visibility and commercial control across the organisation.

This is a great opportunity for someone who sits comfortably between commercial, contracts, pricing, governance and stakeholder management - and enjoys being the person who makes sure things move forward.

You’ll work closely with senior leadership and teams across Finance, Legal, Sales, Client Management, Product, Technology and Operations, helping turn commercial decisions into practical action.

What will you be doing?

• Managing and maintaining the client contract landscape, including renewals, milestones, change notes, SOWs and work orders
• Supporting pricing, tenders, proposals and commercial reviews
• Maintaining commercial trackers, registers and governance processes
• Identifying commercial risks and ensuring issues are escalated appropriately
• Helping improve commercial processes, templates and ways of working
• Supporting contract negotiations and commercial decision-making
• Working across multiple teams to make sure commercial activity is properly coordinated
• Providing clear and useful commercial information to senior stakeholders
• Keeping commercial documentation and knowledge management in good shape

What are they looking for?

You don't necessarily need to have followed a traditional Commercial Manager career path.

You could come from a background in:

Commercial Management | Contract Management | Procurement | Legal Operations | Supplier Management | Client Commercials

The key is having strong commercial awareness, good judgement and the ability to bring structure to a busy environment.

Experience with SaaS, software, technology, financial services or outsourced services would be useful, as would exposure to:

• Pricing / bids / tenders
• Governance and risk
• Data protection / information security
• Commercial reporting

You’ll need to be organised, detail-oriented and comfortable dealing with senior stakeholders, while being able to work across different teams and competing priorities.

You’ll have the opportunity to build and improve the commercial function, rather than simply inheriting a process and maintaining it.

Bristol / flexible working

If you're a commercially-minded contract / procurement / commercial professional looking for a role where you can genuinely influence how a business operates, I’d be keen to speak with you.
