We work collaboratively across 10 countries to collect, connect and understand complex data, so that governments, nation states, armed forces and commercial businesses can unlock digital advantage in the most demanding environments.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an independent and self‑sufficient individual to join DI’s Commercial function and provide commercial support and guidance on international business in the APAC region. Our mission, as the Commercial function, is to provide trusted advice, expertise and resources that enable the business to win and deliver successful contracts and grow a sustainable and valued business for DI and our customers. The Commercial function supports and partners with our global business, acting as a strategic advisor within its specialist area, to facilitate the company to engage in appropriately balanced, risk‑assessed and profitable business.

We are looking to recruit a Senior Commercial Officer, based in Singapore, to join the International Commercial Team, covering all stages of business winning and advisory support throughout the bid and contract cycle, from helping to shape commercial deals through to contract negotiation, closure and in‑life management.

As a Senior Commercial Officer, you will be a vital contact between stakeholders and a key player in providing Commercial services, support and implementation of strategy to meet the needs of our fast‑paced business and customers. You will have the opportunity to lead proposals, contracts and changes, as well as support discussions with a variety of customers. Collaborating with your commercial colleagues, you will also be able to participate in more complex opportunities, helping to shape the agreements we negotiate, influencing the price build‑up, and then seeing through the execution of commercial planning.

The remit of the role is primarily focused on the APAC region, but there may also be potential opportunities to support business in other regions, which would further expose you to a diverse range of geographies, cultures and business practices.

The role is based in our Singapore office, but the Commercial function embraces new ways of working in a hybrid manner, which includes the ability to work between home and the office. Some international travel may be required from time to time.
