This is a fully remote role.

The successful Commercial Manager will join a surge team progressing a high volume of complex, business-critical procurement and sourcing activity.

Managing 15 to 20 concurrent projects to fixed deadlines with minimal supervision
Strong stakeholder engagement across business, finance, legal, commercial and technical teams

You'll also need practical exposure to at least one of these category areas:

Laboratory equipment, scientific instrumentation, reagents, consumables or associated services
Research, analysis, consultancy and professional services
Digital, data and technology (DDaT) requirements

Working knowledge of Atamis (Health Family eCommercial System) is essential, including creating sourcing projects, managing contracts and publishing procurement notices independently.
