We offer excellent development, a competitive salary and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are.

We encourage flexible working arrangements and support hybrid working wherever possible, so you can always be at your best - wherever and whenever you work.

What you will be doing:

As a Commercial Officer you will form the primary interface with our customers and your main role and responsibilities will include effectively and efficiently managing our most valuable customer accounts, primarily the Ministry of Defence, identifying commercial risks and opportunities to manage and limit the risk to the business.
