Commercial Performance Manager

AWE is looking for a Commercial Performance Manager to help turn complex data into clear, actionable insight, providing a strong view of performance against key business priorities and milestones.

Working closely with senior leaders, Commercial Delivery teams and stakeholders across AWE, you’ll analyse performance, develop strategic and pipeline reporting, and identify emerging opportunities, risks and challenges. You’ll help maintain an effective reporting framework and ensure leaders have the insight they need to make informed decisions, drive continuous improvement and support the successful delivery of programmes and projects critical to AWE’s mission.

We are interested in your experience, judgement, and approach, not only formal qualifications. You will have practical experience in some of the following:

• Proven professional experience within a Procurement, Commercial or related environment.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and translate it into meaningful insights.
• Experience of performance reporting and data storytelling, presenting information clearly to support business decision-making.
• Ability to connect business priorities with commercial outcomes and provide a clear view of performance.
• Experience of working cross-functionally, bringing together information and insights from multiple teams and stakeholders.
• Proven experience of supporting and influencing senior stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate complex information clearly.
• Comfortable working in an environment with changing priorities and a degree of ambiguity.
• An understanding of the importance of compliance with relevant legislation, regulations and governance requirements.
• Willing and able to obtain and maintain the security clearance required for the role.

Everyone who works at AWE brings unique skills and perspectives to the table. We recognise that great people don’t always ‘tick every box’. That’s why we focus on your potential, your fit with our values, your transferable skills as well as your experience. Even if you don’t meet every point above, but you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply, we’d love to receive your application.

• We encourage you to apply promptly to avoid disappointment if applications are high and the role therefore closes.
• You will need to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearance for the role. This will be funded by AWE. The nature of our work does mean you need to be a British Citizen who has been resident in the UK for the past 5 years in order to apply for SC clearance and 10 years for DV. 
• We want you to feel comfortable and able to shine during our recruitment process. Please let us know on your application form if you need any adjustments/accommodations during the process.
• Our interviews typically take place over Teams and for most roles are a 1 stage process.

Our ambition is to create workplaces where we recognise and celebrate differences, encourage diverse contributions and our employees feel able to be themselves at work. We strive to create a genuine culture of openness and inclusion and encourage diverse applicants. Any inclusion information you provide will be stored in accordance with GDPR and kept separate from your application form and CV, and the information will not be shared with anyone involved in interviewing or making hiring decisions.

Please note that you must be a British Citizen to apply for a role with us.
