We are currently recruiting for an experienced Commercial Manager to join a major public-sector infrastructure programme in London.
This is a strategic and highly bespoke commercial role, focused on developing innovative commercial frameworks, agreements and cost recovery models rather than traditional contract management or standard NEC-based infrastructure work.
The successful candidate will provide senior commercial leadership, working across Legal, Finance, Procurement, Engineering and Operations to develop commercial strategies and solutions within a complex, regulated environment.
Key responsibilities:
Develop and implement commercial strategies across the programme.
Create innovative commercial and cost recovery models.
Develop, negotiate and implement bespoke commercial agreements and Heads of Terms.
Lead governance approvals and prepare recommendations for senior/executive stakeholders.
Manage commercial risk, procurement considerations and compliance requirements.
Lead complex negotiations with multiple external stakeholders and suppliers.
Develop charging methodologies and financial models.
Support business case development and commercial decision-making.
Provide commercial leadership throughout the programme lifecycle.
Work closely with Legal, Finance, Procurement, Engineering and Operational teams.
About you:
Significant senior commercial management experience.
Strong experience developing commercial strategies and business cases.
Strong governance, compliance and procurement knowledge, including the Procurement Act.
Proven experience creating and negotiating bespoke commercial agreements.
Experience managing commercial risk within complex environments.
Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills.
Comfortable presenting recommendations to senior and executive-level governance forums.
Experience within major infrastructure, transport, utilities, energy or another complex regulated environment is highly desirable.
Experience developing commercial frameworks where no established precedent exists would be advantageous.
Degree-level qualification or equivalent professional experience.
Desirable professional qualifications include MRICS, MCIPS, MBA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent.
This is a particularly niche opportunity and would suit a commercially minded professional who can operate confidently in an ambiguous environment and develop practical solutions where established commercial models do not already exist.
