Commercial Services Manager

About Us

In today’s tough financial climate, every pound matters. That’s why we’re setting up an exciting new Commercial Operations Service to deliver our corporate priorities and high quality services for the local area. Intrigued? If you’re a Commercial Services Manager who believes in giving back to communities, join us here in Lewisham – one of London’s leading authorities.

With your business acumen and leadership skills, you’ll be the perfect Commercial Services Manager for our new unit. Your main task will be to manage our Commercial, Street Trading and Environment Enforcement Services while helping the Head of Commercial Operations and Development to implement policies, projects and programs that are related to your unit.

As well as supporting more senior colleagues, you’ll drive the Council’s commercialisation programme, developing strategies, reviewing services and making changes that will maximise income. It’s an exciting and varied role that also involves overseeing statutory elements of Commercial Operations and giving strategic advice at senior level.

This is no role for beginners – you must have experience in commercial operations, environment enforcement and markets across the public realm. With this background, you’ll know all about current legislation and environmental enforcement for waste.

We’re looking for knowledge of the principles of risk assessment, financial management and contract management, too. If you’re also degree-educated (or equivalent) or 5 years relevant experience and able to connect at all levels, we’d like to hear from you.
