The Role:
We are seeking an experienced Commercial Manager to play a central role in shaping and delivering commercial strategy across a diverse portfolio of defence programmes.
This position carries responsibility for the full contract lifecycle — from early capture and proposal development through to contract award and ongoing administration. Close collaboration with programme management, finance, legal, engineering, business development and compliance teams is essential, providing trusted advice and ensuring contracts are structured, negotiated and managed to support both customer outcomes and business objectives.
The role acts as the primary interface with customer representatives, building strong professional relationships and leading negotiations with confidence. Success depends on the ability to navigate complex contractual challenges, resolve issues effectively and deliver practical, commercially sound solutions.
As an authorised representative of the business, the position ensures that all contractual activities comply with applicable laws, regulations and internal governance requirements. The role also supports audits, contributes to continuous improvement of contract practices, and helps embed best-in-class approaches across the organisation.
This is a high-impact opportunity offering strong visibility, influence and the chance to shape delivery across critical programmes.
