We're looking for a Commercial Manager for our public sector client on an initial 12-month contract (Inside IR35), paying up to £725 per day (UMB), with the potential to extend up to 2 years subject to performance.

The role is UK-wide (our client has multiple offices across the UK), with Leeds preferred as a base location. You will work on a hybrid basis, with 2 days per week on-site. Workshops will require occasional travel to London or Leeds, approximately once a month, which counts towards your on-site percentage.

The successful Commercial Manager will be an experienced procurement professional who is comfortable leading complex commercial activity within a public sector environment. You will deliver end-to-end procurement, advise senior stakeholders and drive strong commercial outcomes.

You will need proven experience working with the following:

• Delivering procurements under the Procurement Act 2023, including the Central Digital Platform and new notice types
• Applying a range of procurement procedures to suit the complexity of each requirement
• Evidence-based decision making and strong business acumen in a commercial setting
• Stakeholder management and influencing at all levels, written and verbal
• Public sector procurement legislation and relevant commercial frameworks

Experience in contract management, e-procurement systems such as Jaggaer, and driving improved outcomes through supplier and market engagement would be desirable.
