Commercial Manager – Children’s Services - Birmingham
Full-time, permanent
Hybrid working: 2–3 days in the office

You’re commercially sharp. You can handle numbers and people. And you’d quite like your work to mean something.
This Commercial Manager role gives you that.
You’ll be dealing with complex pricing, proper negotiations with local authorities, and work that directly impacts some of the most disadvantaged children in the UK.
The business is going through a genuine shift. Not a rebrand. Not a “new values on the wall” exercise.
They’re building something better. An Employer of Choice. Find good people, keep them, grow them.
You’ll have a voice in that. Not just a workload.

- A genuine opportunity to influence how commercial strategy evolves
- A grounded, capable team that delivers serious work without the ego

- Working closely with Ops, Finance, and senior leadership
- Spotting risks early and doing something about them
- Previous experience in pricing, commercial finance, or contract management
- Strong Excel and financial modelling capability
- Experience negotiating contracts within regulated or public sector environments
