The role holder will be the first point of contact for the team and will take ownership of enquiries and activities to completion.

The Commercial Officer has significant contact with staff at all levels in the Commercial Function and wider Resources Division and other key areas of UKEF/DBT and its external stakeholders, whilst also effectively supporting the business outcomes of the Commercial Function.

The Commercial Officer role requires a large amount of autonomy.

The post holder will need to be particularly adept at prioritisation, often having to work with very little guidance from their busy Managers.

This role requires the post holder to deal with a range of issues in respect of the management of the commercial mailbox, diaries and inbox management pressures, organising meetings, appointments and events.

The Commercial Officer is expected to be able to make objective decisions, using sound judgement, evidence and knowledge when delegating work in their manager's absence and supporting activities on the Atamis eSourcing platform.

Casework activities will be varied but they will be required to use their own judgement in interpreting requests from customers and preparing first drafts of correspondence in response.
