About the role
An established multidisciplinary construction consultancy is seeking an ambitious Commercial Director to spearhead the continued development of their Central London presence. Working across a broad range of sectors, this appointment offers an experienced Commercial Director the opportunity to take ownership of regional growth, strengthen existing relationships and create a high-performing London-based team.
The successful Commercial Director will combine strong commercial leadership with a proven ability to generate new business. Rather than stepping into a purely operational position, the Commercial Director will be given the platform to expand the consultancy’s profile across London, identify new opportunities and convert established industry relationships into long-term instructions.
Alongside work winning, the Commercial Director will oversee key client commissions and ensure the consultancy continues to provide a high standard of commercial and cost management advice. As the London operation develops, the Commercial Director will also play a central role in recruitment, mentoring and building the team required to support future growth.
This is particularly well suited to a commercially driven Commercial Director who has an established London network and wants genuine influence over the direction of an office rather than simply inheriting an existing portfolio.
