Commercial Manager (Supply Chain)

We're looking for a Commercial Manager (Supply Chain) for our public sector client based in London or York on an initial 6 month contract with a view to extend, paying up to £600 per day (Inside IR35).

This role offers hybrid working with an expectation to attend the office 3 days per week across either the London or York location.

The successful Commercial Manager will be a commercially astute professional who is comfortable operating as the key link between tactical supplier management and strategic supply chain partnerships within a complex, regulated environment. You will bring a strong understanding of how externally funded procurement activities differ from standard post-contract commercial management, and be able to articulate this clearly to a range of stakeholders.

You will need proven experience working with the following:

• Stakeholder management within a regulated environment, with the ability to clearly communicate commercial priorities and risks
• Supporting and evaluating procurements within a commercial environment
• Understanding and managing funding arrangements within a programme context
• Cost management, profiling and risk evaluation across complex supply chains
• Programme and schedule management from a commercial perspective
• Managing the interface between tactical supplier management and strategic supply chain partnerships

Experience within rail, transport or infrastructure supply chains would be highly desirable.
