Regional Commercial Lead - Midlands and West Region

This is a great time to join Stantec. We have grown our UK&I business over the past number of years and we look to continue to meet our ambitious growth plans. We have a collaborative and people orientated culture where your ideas and input will ensure we continue to meet our commercial objectives.

As Regional Commercial Lead, you will be responsible for ensuring that we have a healthy, profitable and sustainable business, whilst ensuring we effectively manage and balance business risk and growth. You will oversee the commercial elements of bids and significant standalone projects, developing competitive commercial proposals, whilst meeting business objectives and providing opportunity for our performance.

You will work with Regional Directors and the Leadership Team to develop, implement and improve strong and controlled regional commercial strategies to enable sustainable business growth.

You will build and maintain strong working relationships with Client and Partner Commercial Leads and use these links to review performance, identify opportunities for improvement and be a key escalation route for resolution of project and framework level issues.

You will provide commercial leadership to the regional leadership group, ensuring that the team is inspired and motived to deliver best practice in commercial & risk performance management, challenge conventional thinking and create a collaborative culture within the group.

Ideally professional qualified, you will be an experienced Commercial Manager with solid understanding of how to work with professional services teams in a non-hierarchical organisation to deliver improvements and change.

Experience in a similar consultancy environment and/or experience in the regulated water sector would be highly regarded.

You will have strong commercial acumen, strong business analysis skills and the ability to interpret and understand complex financial systems and reports.

You will have the ability to work with varying seniority levels, including staff, managers, and external partners. You will have a high degree of self-management, initiative, reliability and flexibility to ensure that the best possible service is given to internal and external clients.
