This is an influential commercial position that combines account management, financial forecasting, contract support, supplier coordination, and cross-functional project delivery. The successful candidate will work closely with senior leadership and operational teams to protect profitability, strengthen customer partnerships and support continued business growth. The role offers significant responsibility, direct exposure to major customers and Tier 1 supply-chain partners, and the opportunity to contribute to complex projects within a highly regulated industry.
As Commercial Business Account Manager, you will act as a primary commercial point of contact for key customers, contractors, suppliers and supply-chain partners.

What we are looking for:
- Previous experience in commercial management, account management, contract management or business development
- Proven ability to build and maintain strong customer relationships
- Strong commercial awareness, including pricing, margins, forecasting and profitability
- Experience preparing quotations, proposals or commercial documentation
- Confidence communicating with customers, suppliers and senior stakeholders
- Strong negotiation and problem-solving skills
- Excellent organisation, time management and attention to detail
- Ability to remain calm under pressure and deliver to deadlines

The right person:
You will be commercially confident, approachable and professional. You will enjoy solving customer problems, developing long-term partnerships and working with different teams to deliver successful outcomes. You should be comfortable taking ownership, working independently and escalating only when necessary.

- Performance-related bonus
- Company pension scheme
