About the Job
An excellent overseas job opportunity has arisen in the Middle East with one of our key clients in the Aerospace & Defence sector. We are searching for a highly skilled Senior Commercial Manager to support our customer, based in the Middle East.
About the Employer
Our client has a well-established overseas presence where they have developed a reputation for working closely with local partners to support economic development by transferring knowledge, skills and technology to add value and capability. Our client operates as a prime contractor under a Government to Government arrangement which is in place to provide equipment, support and training to the customer based in the Middle East.
Key Responsibilities
If you are a candidate currently in search of overseas jobs or have previously considered working in the Middle East, then this role will potentially provide a great opportunity to take the leap with a well-established and respected Aerospace & Defence business. As Senior Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for supervising all procurement transactions within the business. You will negotiate with contractors/subcontractors, as well as supporting the team with any issues, to the point of resolution. In your position as Senior Commercial Manager you will ensure all contracts are legally agreed in line with company policy. Maximum business success will be maintained through your financial acumen and effective management of costs.
With your first-class technical commercial expertise, you will provide leadership to your team in delivering the highest standard of work and as Senior Commercial Manager you will be responsible for ensuring all Export Control processes are fully-compliant at all times. You will deliver relevant Export Control Training to staff as appropriate. As you would expect for a position of this nature, you will need to be able to demonstrate good cultural awareness and diplomacy to ensure that communications are crystal clear to maximise operational readiness and ensure safety critical issues are managed effectively and efficiently.
About the Person
The ideal candidate will ideally be educated with a relevant degree, as well as having extensive complex commercial experience dealing with both domestic and international suppliers. You will be able to demonstrate a proven record of successful negotiation of contracts including the management of contractual issues. It is essential that you are experienced in ITAR regulations and are able to ensure Export Control compliance at a supervisory level. To succeed in the position of Senior Commercial Manager you will be able to demonstrate a proven track record of leading a commercial team within a complex matrix environment.
Whilst it isn’t essential for succeeding in overseas jobs, it would be a distinct advantage if you have previous experience of working in the aerospace & defence sector in a Middle East country.
The Reward & Overseas Benefits
The package for this Senior Commercial Manager job is substantial. You can expect an excellent tax-free cash package of £60k-£70k with a wide-ranging benefits package including flights, rent-free accommodation and 2 months leave per year. With year-round sunshine, excellent recreation facilities, and first-class medical facilities, it is a fantastic overseas opportunity for either those looking to move on an unaccompanied basis or those who wish to consider opportunities for families.
If you are interested in this role or potentially considering a move, please send your CV with a brief cover note providing some background on why you would like to be considered. Alternatively, if you would like to hear more details or have an initial, confidential conversation, please contact Eddie Finnigan at Two Rivers.
