Commercial Manager - Global

We are currently seeking an experienced Commercial Manager to play a pivotal role in our ambitious expansion across our global regions. In this senior leadership role, you won't just support our business-you'll have the opportunity to influence growth, profitability, and governance, all while acting as a key partner to our leadership team and forging a clear path for your own advancement. Our "Global" region represents a diverse, multi-continental portfolio with major operations in the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific (notably Australia/New Zealand), Latin America, and the Middle East. You will play a key role in this multi-continental business, ensuring we balance aggressive growth with sound commercial and risk management practices. You will be a hands-on, strategic thinker who travels to support our regional teams, resolve critical issues on-site, and build the relationships that drive success. Your focus will be on strengthening our governance, improving commercial performance, and fostering a culture of transparency and proactive risk management. Your key responsibility in this role will be to champion both growth and risk mitigation. You'll drive commercial excellence across all our global projects to boost profitability and success. You'll act as a gatekeeper for commercial risk, ensuring all new ventures align with our policies, and you'll implement best practices to improve project margins, with a particular focus on claims management. Finally, you'll represent our global commercial interests in corporate discussions, provide high-level input on major strategic bids, and mentor our regional teams to build the next generation of leaders.

You are a seasoned commercial and risk management professional with a proven track record of driving business growth, ideally within the built environment or engineering sector. You will have significant experience in commercial and contracts management and a genuine passion for global work. Ideally you will:-

• Demonstrate extensive experience in commercial management, with a strong background in major projects, claims, and variations.
• Be a strategic thinker who is also comfortable diving into the details of project financials and legal terms.
• Possess a strong leadership presence with exceptional communication skills, capable of influencing senior professionals across diverse cultures.
• Be confident, self-motivated, and adaptable, with a flair for innovative thinking and a willingness to challenge the status quo.
• Show a high level of cultural competence and flexibility to work across different time zones.
