What you will be doing

As a Commercial Lead, you’ll take ownership of delivering strategic commercial outcomes across a single contract or a portfolio of contracts, playing a key role in shaping both the direction and performance of your team. With a strong focus on leadership, stakeholder engagement, and driving continuous improvement, you’ll influence not only how contracts are developed and executed, but also how risks are managed and value is delivered across the project lifecycle. This role provides an exciting opportunity to make a tangible impact on one of the UK's most ambitious infrastructure projects. Additional roles and responsibilities include :

• Lead a commercial team to manage either a single contract or a portfolio of contracts
• Drive the professional development of both yourself and your team, fostering a high-performance culture

• Develop and implement commercial strategies for high-value or high-risk project components
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement, embedding lessons learned from previous projects
• Own the management of commercial risks tied to supplier performance and delivery outcomes
• Engage with a broad range of stakeholders including executives, external partners, and regulatory bodies
