Commercial Manager (Energy & Utilities)
* Location: Norfolk (Hybrid)
* Package: to £60,000 + £6,500 Car Allowance
The Role: Move from "Supplier" to "Strategist
Are you a high-performing Sales or Account Manager within the fuel or energy sector? Do you know exactly how the big distributors price their products and where the margins are hidden?
We are looking for an industry "insider" to switch sides. On behalf of our client—a major member-owned buying group—we need a Commercial Manager to lead their Utilities division. This isn't about following a procurement process; it’s about market timing, negotiation, and commercial edge.
What You’ll Do
* Play the Market: Monitor live energy and fuel pricing to time the market, securing fixed-price deals and flexible packages that protect members from volatility.
* Lead the Negotiation: Leverage a multi-million-pound collective spend to challenge supplier margins and secure "sharp" pricing.
* Innovate: Identify new revenue streams and product areas, from Renewables to advanced Fuel Monitoring.
* Coach the Team: Lead and mentor a team of five specialists, fostering a high-performance, member-first culture.
What You Bring
* Sector Expertise: knowledge of the fuel or energy markets (Electric, Gas, or Liquid Fuels like Gas Oil and Diesel).
* The "Gamekeeper" Mindset: You understand the supplier’s playbook and know how to use that knowledge to get a better deal for the buyer.
* Decisiveness: You thrive in fast-moving commodity markets where quick, data-driven decisions save thousands.
