Commercial Operations | Sales Support | Tender & AI-Enabled Workflows
Are you organised, commercially minded and passionate about using technology to work smarter? We're looking for a driven, capable and methodological Commercial Associate to join our team in our HQ in Glasgow.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of the administrative function supporting our Sales and Commercial department, playing a central role in keeping the business organised, connected and commercially focused.
With four days in the office and Fridays working from home, alongside our City Centre location next to the train station, you'll enjoy a hybrid role that's incredibly easy to commute to.
The Role
Working closely with our Sales, Commercial and Tender teams, you'll be the go-to person for commercial administration, bringing structure to processes, keeping information flowing, coordinating tender activity and ensuring that important actions and deadlines are followed through.
What you'll be doing
- Taking ownership of the day-to-day administration of the Sales and Commercial department.
- Coordinating tender submissions, client portals, documentation and deadlines.
- Managing commercial enquiries, RFQs and the central department inbox.
- Maintaining CRM records, sales opportunities and pipeline information.
- Coordinating PQQs, RFIs, RFQs and supporting commercial documentation.
- Managing document libraries, registers, templates and version control.
- Preparing commercial reports, trackers and presentations.
- Coordinating meetings, actions and information across internal teams.
- Using AI and technology to improve processes, automate routine tasks and increase efficiency.
About you
- You're proactive, switched on and take genuine ownership of your work. Whether using ChatGPT, Claude or other digital tools, you're naturally curious about finding better, faster and more efficient ways to manage information, documentation and processes.
- You're organised, methodical and deadline-driven, with the confidence to take ownership and manage your workload independently.
- You enjoy bringing structure to busy environments, balancing competing priorities and delivering accurate work to tight deadlines.
- Experience in administration, sales support, commercial coordination or tender management would be beneficial.
- You have good knowledge of Microsoft Office and CRM systems.
- You hold a valid driving licence and are willing to travel internationally.
