Teamwork where everyone’s on board. Embrace it today.

About The Role
The Commercial & Supplier Manager helps to develop and embed scalable supplier, tendering, contract management and commercial delivery models across Boldyn's UK&I delivery organisation.

Working closely with Boldyn Procurement, Delivery, Engineering, Programme Office, H&S and the Build Compliance Manager, the role is responsible for developing a high-performing supplier ecosystem across telecoms, wireless and digital infrastructure deployments, including DAS, Wi-Fi, fibre, private networks and associated infrastructure solutions.

This role will ensure supplier commercial models, contractual obligations, scopes of work and performance expectations remain aligned with Boldyn's technical standards, build quality requirements and delivery objectives.

The role acts as the delivery organisation's focal point for supplier commercial management, supporting supplier onboarding, contract management, commercial governance, tendering activities, supplier performance management and long-term supplier relationship development across the wider delivery business.
