Lead Today. Influence Tomorrow.
This is not a typical Commercial Manager role.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll take ownership of a broad commercial function spanning sales, major projects, partner development, and commercial performance across UK and international markets.
Joining a successful and growing technical manufacturing business, you'll play a key role in driving performance, building capability, and helping shape the future direction of the organisation.
For the right individual, this role offers genuine influence today and the opportunity to take on broader business leadership responsibilities in the future.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a commercially astute leader who can bring structure, accountability, and momentum to a growing business.
