We're currently seeking a number of experienced and ambitious Associate Commercial Lead/Commercial Manager professionals to work with our exceptional client in a secure environment, supporting challenging and highly rewarding projects.
These contract roles will require you to conduct security clearance prior to assignment. Opportunities are available in Milton Keynes.
You'll have the potential to work effectively across a diverse range of internal projects and teams spanning multiple business units as a customer lead or an operational specialist, assessing requirements, to provide and manage the solutions and services that align with your customer's particular needs and deliver organisational excellence as well as compliance. You will be encouraged to showcase your skills on unique projects.
You will be able to demonstrate how responsiveness, efficiency and professionalism are the hallmarks of your outstanding service in supporting the Commercial Lead, accountable for your own portfolio or operational workstreams - ensuring the fulfilment of goods and services across the business. You'll employ exemplary standards through your contribution across the entire project lifecycle (specifications, ITTs, contracts and contract management). You will support continuous improvement of people and commercial capabilities, and through effective operational management and expertise, enable and drive opportunities for new activities which will enhance your customer offering, inspiring and supporting others around you to do the same. Faultless commercial acumen, exceptional influencing, prioritisation, negotiation and people skills are essential.
With significant expertise in commercial settings, your analytical ability and aptitude to balance risks and benefits as well as issue resolution will be critical. You will lead the development of strong relationships with customers, suppliers and colleagues. You will prioritise delivery of work against a backdrop of highly complex activity and competing criteria, being adaptable and experienced enough to deliver on tactical and strategic outputs. You will take an enthusiastic approach to challenges and problem resolution—focusing on the customer and the detail to understand and address issues, create and ensure the delivery of solutions, and identify and drive opportunities for new activities to enhance your customer offering.
These commercial roles are conducted in an environment that is far from ordinary; therefore, we're not looking for ordinary candidates.
