About the job

Job summary

Are you an experienced Commercial leader looking for a new challenge?

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is a small government department with a big mission: to keep food safe, ensure that it is what it says it is, and that it is increasingly healthy and more sustainable. This wide-reaching remit impacts consumers across the country, and we work hard to deliver food you can trust while also offering real value for the taxpayer.

We have an exciting opportunity to lead the Commercial function at the Food Standards Agency (FSA). This senior role sits at the heart of how the organisation delivers value from its significant third party spend, shaping how commercial expertise supports business outcomes while maintaining strong governance and risk management.

As Head of Commercial, you will provide strategic leadership to an established and capable team, embedding improvements and driving a culture focused on value for money and continuous development. You will play a central role in influencing senior stakeholders and guiding the organisation through evolving procurement legislation, while ensuring commercial practices remain efficient, effective and aligned to organisational priorities.

Job description

In this role you will take overall accountability for commercial activity across the organisation, including shaping and implementing commercial strategy, leading policy development and overseeing transformation of procurement processes. You will ensure compliance with relevant legislation, including the Procurement Act 2023 and Public Contracts Regulations 2015, while strengthening governance and mitigating risk. You will also be responsible for delivering business plans, managing budgets and representing the organisation in cross government commercial forums.

You will lead and develop the Commercial team, fostering a strong performance culture through clear objectives, robust performance measures and continuous improvement. Working closely with senior leaders, you will build effective relationships, influence decision making and support the delivery of organisational priorities. The role also requires driving professionalisation within the team, embedding best practice and ensuring the function remains responsive, efficient and easy to engage with across the business.

Working pattern guidance

Applicants who wish to work compressed hours are welcome to apply - however your preferred working pattern may not be available and you should discuss this with the vacancy holder before applying.

If applying as a job share partnership you should both complete separate application forms on Civil Service Jobs but should make it clear that you are applying as job sharers. Further details on job sharing can be found here JSF What is the recruitment process for job sharers? , Civil Service Careers (civil-service-careers.gov.uk)

Please read before applying

Candidates that are already established Civil Servants or from non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) will come to the FSA on a Loan basis and will need to request permission from their Home Department for the Loan prior to applying for this vacancy.

Note for FSA employees

You must seek approval from your substantive manager before applying for any non-permanent vacancy - please refer to the Temporary internal appointments framework on the FSA intranet for more details. Please note that if applying for a temporary post within the FSA or elsewhere on promotion, successful appointment will not automatically result in a permanent promotion - you will revert to your current substantive grade at the end of the Fixed Term or Loan period (unless funding has been approved to make the post permanent).
