Role Description:
We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a well-established facilities management organisation, for a Commercial Manager to join their London team.
Although this is a Commercial Manager position, the role is predominantly analytical and closely aligned to a finance-style function. The majority of the work involves detailed numerical analysis, working extensively with spreadsheets, cost information, forecasting, and budgeting activities. Accuracy, structure, and strong control of financial data are central to the role.
This is a hands-on position suited to someone who enjoys working in detail, interpreting large sets of financial information, and ensuring the quality and reliability of commercial reporting. A key part of the role is maintaining robust cost data, reviewing margins, and identifying inconsistencies or anomalies within financial outputs.
In addition, the role includes responsibility for overseeing a small team of Commercial Assistants and Coordinators, ensuring work is delivered accurately, efficiently, and to a consistently high standard.
