Introduction:

An exciting opportunity has become available to join Boeing Defence United Kingdom (BDUK) as a Commercial Manager in one of the business unit Commercial teams. This role is full-time based in Bristol or Gosport depending on the team in which you are recruited into.

BDUK comprises 3 business units: Fixed Wing, Vertical Lift and Digital. Each business unit commercial team is led by a Head of Commercial who each report to the Commercial Director.

Each business unit commercial team supports contracts within the given portfolio: the majority of which tend to comprise long-term contracts for support services to Boeing platforms operated by UK armed forces, information services and synthetic training services. The business growth comprises a mix of on-contract change and new business bids and proposals in line with company strategy. As a subsidiary of The Boeing Company much of our portfolio involves intercompany arrangements that support our contracts as well as providing support into other Boeing contracts with non-UK customers. Our UK contracts are predominantly Single Source Contracts, but not exclusively and we pursue new campaigns that involve competitive tendering.

About the role:

This is a mid-level, non-line management role within the team. Principal responsibilities of the role include:-

• Lead and participate in moderate complexity proposal development, negotiation, and execution of contractual agreements, including contract changes and amendments, with appropriate signature authority.
• Draft, review, interpret, and administer terms and conditions (ranging from simple to moderately complex) and other legally binding agreements.
• Support and lead internal coordination across functional areas (programme, finance, legal) to deliver commercial solutions aligned with strategic goals.
• Anticipate, interpret, and mitigate commercial risks; summarise contractual issues and propose creative, risk-aware solutions.
• Maintain effective commercial governance, ensuring compliance with Boeing Defence UK and corporate policies, applicable laws, and regulations.
• Lead or support development and review of Statements of Work.
• Administer contracts and authorise company work in line with contractual requirements and corporate policy.
• Understand and apply value-for-money principles in support of customer needs while delivering against business objectives.

Across our portfolios you'll find energetic and motivated integrated and international teams working together to deliver to our primary customer, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD). Our predominant business is within Single Source Contract Regulations, so strong understanding and the ability to learn and apply these into the ways that we work is vital, as is the ability to develop effective, positive relationships with customers and stakeholders alike. 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 and fast-paced environment. You can expect assignments requiring typical contract management execution duties, providing commercial support and exercising 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 to our customers and into other parts of the Boeing enterprise as part of intercompany arrangements; 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.

As a mid-level member of the team you will be expected to work with autonomy and minimal supervision, albeit as part of both the Commercial team and your Programme / Proposal teams. You'll be expected to deliver continuous improvement that impacts the wider functions and business and you'll be relied upon to develop and demonstrate a wide range of Commercial skills and assume positions of authority on commercial topics to provide benefit to your peers.

A Commercial Manager is expected to have a thorough understanding of programme & financial contractual performance for contracts and you will be responsible for developing recommendations and solutions as well as influencing effective decision-making to meet our business goals. The Commercial Manager will work alongside contract delivery and proposal team members and with customer counterparts and developing & maintaining respectful and effective working relationships is critical to our success.
