This is a hands-on delivery role requiring strong organisation, commercial awareness, financial confidence and the ability to create structure across multiple, varied workstreams.

The role spans commercial projects, commissioning support, financial analysis, internal improvement and stakeholder management. We need someone who can act as an extension of the Commercial Director, creating structure, driving delivery and turning priorities into tangible outcomes.
