What the role covers

The holder leads all post-contract commercial management across city operations, naming variations, claims, compliance and performance, and sets the strategy for contract renewal and cost reduction on the principal service contracts. The role also carries the service charge framework and the cost recovery process across the operating assets, and reports commercial risk, commitment and forecast effect alongside the commercial, reporting and finance functions.

It sits as commercial lead to the city operations leadership, supporting executive committee decisions, and carries a team to develop.

Qiddiya asks for a degree in quantity surveying, business administration, construction management or a related subject, with an advanced degree preferred, and at least twelve years in commercial or contract management in operations, meaning operation and maintenance, facilities management, utilities or city operations, or in construction. MRICS or FRICS is described as highly desirable.

Experience of post-contract management covering variations, claims, renewals and performance is required, and exposure to service charge and cost recovery models is preferred. No salary is stated. The advert refers only to a compensation and benefits package.
