Commercial Manager – Education PFI
Location: London
Salary: Up to £75,000 (DOE) + package
Sector: Education / PFI
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Commercial Manager to join a well-established team supporting a portfolio of education contracts across London.
This is a stable, steady-state commercial management position, working across established contracts and maintaining strong relationships with clients and operational teams.
PFI experience would be beneficial, but it is not essential. We are also open to candidates with strong post-contract commercial experience from related sectors such as facilities management, infrastructure, outsourcing, or public sector services.
The Role
As Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for the ongoing commercial management of contracts, ensuring contractual commitments are delivered and commercial opportunities and risks are effectively managed.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
