An exciting opportunity to be part of the Commercial team at Leonardo, within the Customer Support and Service Solutions (CS3) Line of Business (LoB), which is a major growth area with ambitious targets over the short to medium term.
Leonardo is looking for a Commercial Manager to work in a fast paced and dynamic environment for the Air sector. Reporting directly to the Senior Commercial Manager, this role will provide commercial leadership and responsibility for the Eurofighter and Tornado export support contracts.
Leonardo plays a key role in the Eurofighter Typhoon programme, and is responsible for delivering over 60% of the on-board avionics of the aircraft, leading the consortia that develops both the Radar and Defensive Aid Sub-System from our Edinburgh and Luton sites.
This role will also take on responsibility for our Tornado support contracts, working with our customers Panavia and BAE Systems to ensure a support solution is delivered until the out of service date.
This role requires a flexible and adaptable mindset, and requires the role holder to be comfortable advocating commercial governance and practices within the organisation. This role is required to work at fast pace and to tight timeframes, so excellent communication skills and ability to prioritise is a must. In return this role provides exposure to a variety of contracts, customers and work environments.
The role could be based at any Leonardo UK site, on a hybrid working basis [with home working], but will require some attendance at Leonardo facilities on a semi-regular basis.
Occasional travel to customer and workshare partner companies within Europe and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be required.
