I’m currently supporting a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Commercial Manager to join a highly innovative, technology-led defence organisation operating in a complex, international environment.

This is a key role where you’ll take ownership of commercial strategy, contract management, and risk mitigation across a diverse project portfolio. You’ll be working closely with senior stakeholders, influencing decision-making and driving best-in-class commercial practices.

• Manage in-life agreements & secure next phase of contract awards
• Manage risk, compliance, and contractual performance end-to-end
• Partner with cross-functional teams including finance, procurement, and project delivery
• Play a key role in shaping commercial strategy on high-value, complex programmes

• Ideally have experience in the Aerospace or Defence sector
• Confident negotiator with strong stakeholder engagement skills
• Solid understanding of contract law, compliance, and risk management alongside pricing and financials
