Interim Commercial Strategy Lead £730pd

\n

\n

Location: London (Hybrid)
Rate: Up to £730 per day (Umbrella, inside IR35)
Duration: Initial contract to 31 March 2027 (extension likely)
Client: Major Public Sector client

\n

\n

We're looking for an experienced Commercial Strategy Lead to join a high-profile government programme focused on shaping future commercial policy.

\n

\n

This role sits at the heart of a strategic supply chain initiative. You'll take the findings from detailed value chain analysis and transform them into a clear, actionable commercial strategy, working closely with industry partners and senior stakeholders to drive the programme forward.

\n

\n

The Role:

\n

    \n
  • Developing and owning a high-level commercial strategy based on analytical insights.
  • \n
  • Leading engagement with industry to gather feedback and ensure collaborative strategy development.
  • \n
  • Managing project plans, timelines, risks and stakeholder expectations from inception through delivery.
  • \n
  • Providing clear recommendations and regular updates to senior leadership.
  • \n
  • Working across a broad commercial landscape rather than within a single procurement category.
  • \n

\n

\n

Requirements:

\n

The successful candidate will demonstrate strength in three key areas:

\n

    \n
  • Commercial strategy - able to think strategically and develop end-to-end commercial approaches, not just individual initiatives.
  • \n
  • Stakeholder management - confident engaging with industry partners and senior stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes.
  • \n
  • Project leadership - proven experience delivering complex projects, managing timelines and resolving issues proactively.
  • \n
  • Advantageous would be knowledge of supply chains or value chain analysis.
  • \n

\n

    \n
  • Experience working with raw materials desirable.
  • \n
  • Strong PowerPoint and Excel skills.
  • \n
  • Previous experience working within commercial or procurement environments.
  • \n

\n

\n

Please note: due to the sensitive nature of this role, candidates must hold, or be able to gain and maintain, current, SC Clearance.

\n

\n

This is an urgent requirement - please apply asap.
