Here at NEO we are looking to add a new Senior Commercial Manager / Head of Commercial to the team. Someone with real drive and focus, able to support the Managing Director in achieving our ambitious objectives. As an experienced Commercial Manager ready to take that next step, you will be given the right level of autonomy and support to be successful.

Whilst a background in one of the trades would be advantageous, it is certainly not essential - the key will be previous Commercial Management experience within a profit-focused business and the ability to work with our Operations Management team to deliver contracts against budget and to deadline.

The Senior Commercial Manager joining our team based at our Leeds Head Office will hold day-to-day responsibility for the Commercial function across term and project-based passive fire protection works. As the commercial lead, you will oversee the progress and development of your team, negotiate and oversee contracts, whilst dealing with all commercial matters affecting performance.

Additionally, you will set and oversee project/contract budgets, review weekly cost and sales reports, taking the lead with cross-functional teams (surveying, planning, operations, finance, and procurement) as necessary to enhance performance.

To be successful you will possess demonstrable experience in a similar role managing projects for clients operating as a main contractor within the public and third sector. You will have a full appreciation of key contract terms including JCT and NEC Forms of Contract.
