🚨 Commercial Partnerships Manager – Public Sector
📍 London | Hybrid
💰 Up to £70,000 + uncapped OTE
🏖️ 28 days holiday + bank holidays
We’re partnering with a fast-growing organisation operating at the intersection of AI, public sector delivery, and SME/business support to hire a Commercial Partnerships Manager.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who can combine public sector relationship-building, bid/proposal writing, and full-cycle commercial ownership.
The company already has strong momentum across government and public sector channels, with warm relationships, a growing pipeline, and increasing demand. They’re now looking for someone commercially driven who can help convert that opportunity into signed contracts. You’ll work closely with senior leadership, including the CEO and Director of Government Affairs & Partnerships, before taking ownership of your own pipeline and deals.
