Job description

Overview

Morson Talent are currently recruiting for a Contract Management Specialist to work on behalf of one of our prestigious defence clients based in Bristol. This is a 6-month contract with the possibility of extension. An exciting opportunity has become available to join our client as a Commercial Manager in the Digital business unit, focusing predominantly on a pan-defence IS transformation contract. The role is full-time based in Bristol, with hybrid working available.

This is a non-line management role within the client’s Digital Commercial Team, reporting to the Digital Head of Commercial. The Digital business unit is one of 3 business units in the client, and the digital commercial team supports a portfolio of complex contracts, mainly with the UK MOD, with ongoing growth activities and long-term contracted programmes. The business growth comprises a mix of on-contract change and new business bids and proposals, in line with company growth strategy.

Across this portfolio, you’ll find energetic and motivated integrated teams working together to deliver for our customer, and the Commercial function delivers value-adding business partnering in all phases of the contract lifecycle. In this position, you will play an integral role to support the portfolio and will have the opportunity to work with and support colleagues across our teams as we support a wide variety of responsibilities in a dynamic environment. You can expect assignments requiring typical contract management execution duties, providing expert commercial support and exercising strong business judgment in optimising our delivery of the contract and working closely with our customer leading and supporting contract change and amendment proposals of varying sizes and complexity. You may be asked to participate in and support other strategic imperatives of the overall business as we pursue growth opportunities within and outside of our existing portfolio. You will be provided with support and coaching to perform successfully and be given a set of responsibilities to work independently to develop your skills and capabilities.
