Job Description: Commercial Program Lead
Every day, somewhere in the world, important decisions are made. Whether it is a private equity company deciding to invest millions into a business or a large corporation implementing a new strategic direction, these decisions impact employees, customers, and other stakeholders.
Consulting and private equity firms come to proSapient when they need to discover knowledge to help them make great decisions and succeed in their goals. It is our mission to support them in their discovery of knowledge.
We help our clients find industry experts who can provide their knowledge via interview or survey; we curate this knowledge in a market-leading software platform; and we help clients surface knowledge they already have through expansive knowledge management.
We're looking for a Commercial Program Lead to build the operating backbone behind our most important client relationships - renewals, RfPs, and the processes that keep them running smoothly.
This is a brand-new role with genuine ownership from day one. You won't inherit an existing system - you'll build one, working closely with Legal, Compliance, Finance and Product to keep our biggest accounts running like clockwork as we scale.
It's a great fit for someone who's naturally process-driven, comfortable turning ambiguity into structure, and energized by building something from scratch rather than optimizing something that already exists.
Key Duties
- Own and continuously improve the processes behind contract renewals, RfPs, and commercial governance, bringing commercial knowledge together into one trusted source of truth for the business.
- Project manage major renewal and RfP programmes for our largest clients, building the plan, coordinating internal contributors, and assembling the evidence needed to support senior leadership.
- Triage and resolve client requests, including reporting, compliance, legal, and data queries, coordinating the right internal owners and ensuring client-facing teams can close the loop with clients.
- Run a single view of client-facing initiatives and integrations, tracking progress and escalating blockers to keep delivery on track.
- Manage special strategic projects that strengthen how we partner with clients, working across commercial, service delivery, and central functions.
- Maintain the account knowledge base and prepare commercial reviews for leadership, so context, performance, and risk are never lost to turnover.
