Senior Commercial Director - Landmark Civils Project - London

Cipher Search is retained on an exclusive search to appoint a Senior Commercial Director to lead all commercial activity on a nationally significant UK rail infrastructure programme, a potential once in a generation project.
This is a strategist's role, not a caretaker's. You will drive commercial performance across the full project lifecycle, lead and develop a commercial team of 45, and take ownership of a large scale NEC Option F contract.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Just as important, you will operate with authority in a high profile, politically sensitive environment, managing complex client and stakeholder agendas at the most senior level.
We are looking for a genuine commercial leader who sets strategy and holds the room, not someone who simply administers contracts.
What you will bring:
- A proven track record as a Commercial Lead for a Tier 1 main contractor or delivery consultancy on a major infrastructure project
- Strong commercial and financial acumen, with the ability to develop and implement commercial strategy at programme level
- Detailed knowledge of construction contracts, including NEC (Option F), FIDIC and IChemE
- Experience leading, coaching and building high performing commercial teams
- The credibility and political awareness to manage senior client relationships and sensitive stakeholder agendas
