* Support project and contract delivery by tracking performance, maximising margins, and issuing key contractual notices.
* Own the commercial forecasting process — working with stakeholders to report on revenue, costs, and cashflow.

About You
The ideal candidate will have proven experience in a similar commercial or financial role, ideally within a multi-divisional organisation. Strong negotiation skills, a clear understanding of the differences between cashflow and revenue, and practical ideas for improving both are essential. Up-to-date knowledge of contractual law and commercial practice is desirable, though a willingness to learn is equally valued. If you’re commercially astute, process-driven, and ready to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives working independently, takes ownership of commercial activities, and has the ability to implement and improve processes that drive performance.
