Senior Commercial Manager
Senior Commercial Manager
We are seeking an experienced Senior Commercial Manager to lead commercial strategy, governance and performance across a varied portfolio of projects and contracts. This is a senior role for a commercially astute professional who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on contract management, building strong relationships with internal teams, clients, suppliers and delivery partners.
You will provide clear commercial direction throughout the project lifecycle, from early-stage opportunity development and procurement through to delivery, completion and final account. You will identify opportunities to improve value, manage risk and support sustainable growth while ensuring that all activities comply with relevant policies, legislation and contractual obligations.
Key responsibilities
- Develop and implement commercial strategies aligned with business objectives and project requirements.
- Lead contract negotiations, including pricing, terms, variations, claims and settlements.
- Monitor financial performance, forecasts, cash flow, margins and commercial risks.
- Provide accurate reports, analysis and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
- Manage and mentor commercial professionals, promoting high standards and continuous development.
- Build effective relationships with clients, consultants, suppliers and delivery teams.
- Identify, assess and mitigate commercial, contractual and operational risks.
- Support tendering, procurement and bid activities, ensuring commercially robust submissions.
About you
You will have substantial experience in a senior commercial, contracts or quantity surveying position, ideally within a complex project-based, construction, infrastructure, engineering or related environment. You should have a strong understanding of contract administration, commercial reporting, procurement and dispute resolution, alongside the ability to interpret financial and performance data.
Excellent communication and negotiation skills are essential, as is the confidence to influence decisions at all levels. You will be organised, analytical and commercially focused, with a practical approach to solving problems and delivering results. A relevant professional qualification or membership of an appropriate commercial or surveying body would be advantageous.
This role offers the opportunity to shape commercial performance, lead meaningful improvements and contribute to the successful delivery of high-value work in a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.
