The Opportunity

Our client, a leading provider of integrated facilities management and infrastructure solutions is hiring for a commercially minded professional with strong financial administration, cost control and contract support experience. Working on-site at London Stadium, you will play a key role in the day-to-day commercial operation of the contract, supporting both routine facilities management activities and the commercial delivery of major events, including music concerts and sporting fixtures.

This role is ideally suited to someone from a commercial, finance, contract administration or management accounting background rather than a traditional Quantity Surveying route.

• Review and analyse financial data to ensure accurate cost allocation, identify discrepancies, and highlight commercial risks and opportunities.
• Assist with monthly reporting, commercial reviews, applications for payment, invoicing activities, and the maintenance of accurate commercial records and documentation.
• Support the commercial management of major events by assisting with budget preparation, tracking event costs and revenues, completing post-event reconciliations, and producing financial performance reports.
• Coordinate with operational teams to ensure the accurate capture and reporting of event and contract-related financial information.
• Assist with procurement and supply chain activities, including supplier engagement, obtaining quotations, preparing subcontract packages, supporting subcontractor onboarding, and maintaining procurement compliance records.
• Support subcontractor performance monitoring and commercial administration throughout contract delivery.
• Prepare quotations for variations and additional works, and contribute to change management processes and commercial submissions.
• Ensure compliance with commercial governance requirements, maintaining audit-ready records and supporting continuous improvement initiatives.
• Build strong collaborative relationships with operational, finance, procurement, supplier, and client stakeholders to support effective contract delivery.
• Provide day-to-day guidance and support to junior commercial team members, sharing best practice and contributing to the development of robust commercial processes and controls.
