Ref: 1/CC/19/119 

The successful candidate will work with the Category Manager (Corporate) to undertake specific category projects. Success will depend on developing critical relationships at all levels, particularly with directors, lead commissioners, outcome managers, senior managers and others who influence commercial outcomes. 


You will be expected to acquire and demonstrate a high level of commercial knowledge and expertise in a specialist subject area and lead discrete commercial projects or reviews. Your role will involve providing commissioners or other clients with pragmatic and informed advice so that customer outcomes and value for money requirements are met or exceeded

You will have the ambition to gain experience and progress within the Commercial Service and will be able to demonstrate that you can work with less direct supervision or guidance in situations where the work or outcome is ambiguous or requires a more innovative solution.
