Job Title - Commercial and Contract Manager AFRS
Hours - Full Time
This is a career-defining commercial leadership opportunity, driving the governance and delivery of a high-impact, nationally significant contract.
For the first time ever, all 3 UK Armed Forces have joined together in their recruitment. Join TMP and help deliver groundbreaking, award-winning, multi-channel brand and recruitment marketing solutions for the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Airforce.
As part of a Serco-led consortium, TMP has been awarded the contract to deliver all marketing for UK Armed Forces recruitment. This joint initiative is known as the Armed Forces Recruitment Service (AFRS). Running until 2037, this contract offers an unrivalled opportunity to make a long-term, positive impact on the UK Armed Forces – and help transform the defence of the nation.
It means having the very best commercial and contractual leadership in place to own and drive the commercial model, outputs, and governance of the AFRS contract. And that's where we need you.
The Role
You'll be the go-to for all things commercial, fully understanding the requirements of the contract, owning the governance framework, and driving forward improvements to ensure we continue to deliver against all obligations. Working in close partnership with the Senior Director AFRS, Head of TMP268, and wider PeopleScout and TeamSerco colleagues, you'll ensure the commercial model performs effectively and sustainably across the life of the contract.
Your responsibilities will include:
Taking full ownership of the AFRS contract and its governance requirements
Managing the AFRS P&L, including accurate reporting, revenue, gross profit, margin costs and segment profit
Collaborating with the PeopleScout commercial team to align AFRS P&L with the wider PeopleScout EMEA P&L
Identifying opportunities for commercial growth and optimisation across the contract
Ensuring costs are managed in line with contractual obligations to protect margin and profit
Building strong working relationships with stakeholders across the wider TeamSerco consortium
Supporting the development and refinement of the resourcing capacity plan, including clear recommendations for backfill and incremental recruitment
Supporting the development of commercial models across business functions
Analysing delivery costs versus planned costs to inform smarter pricing and forecasting
Ensuring consistent task timing to enable accurate forecasting, pricing, and productivity measurement
Providing commercial insights and recommendations to divisional heads based on data-driven analysis
Participating in new business discussions, shaping pricing and commercial strategies
This role reports to the Head of TMP268 and does not include direct line management responsibilities.
Who we're looking for
A commercially-minded professional, you're confident working with data, comfortable navigating complex structures, and bring a clear, structured approach to everything you do. You have a strong eye for detail, and you understand the importance of accurate forecasting in driving strategic decisions. Self-motivated and highly organised, you thrive in fast-paced environments where precision, planning, and accountability matter.
You'll bring:
Exceptional accuracy and attention to detail, with the ability to work independently under tight deadlines
Strong commercial acumen and proven experience in forecasting and resource planning
Confidence using Excel and manual forecasting tools to support commercial decision-making
A proactive, structured mindset with excellent organisational and planning skills
The ability to work effectively within a complex, matrixed organisation and build strong working relationships
Nice to have:
A good foundation in interpreting complex data sets and generating reports to improve operational efficiency
Experience using Workforce Management Systems or scheduling tools is also desirable
