About you We’re looking for someone who enjoys bringing structure, clarity and momentum to busy environments.
You might be an early-career commercial professional, a generalist looking to move into a commercial role, or someone with experience in operations, bid coordination, procurement, sales operations or a similar environment.
You'll be someone who:
Is highly organised and pays close attention to detail.
Enjoys working with processes and making sure things are done accurately.
Can work independently and take ownership without needing constant direction.
Is comfortable managing multiple priorities and keeping different projects moving at the same time.
Can work confidently to tight deadlines, including requests that may need to be turned around within a few hours.
Is comfortable working with numbers, KPIs and commercial information.
Can communicate confidently with stakeholders at different levels of seniority.
Isn't afraid to respectfully challenge or chase stakeholders when actions need to be completed.
Is solution-focused and able to navigate ambiguity.
Communicates openly and directly while building positive working relationships.
Is curious and willing to learn — particularly when it comes to procurement, tendering and the commissioning landscape.
Experience in all of the following isn't essential. We're particularly interested in your ability to learn, organise and
