Senior Commercial Manager (I&I - Client) - Bristol, UK

About the Role

Ready to lead engineering excellence at one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects? Want to shape the future of nuclear energy and help Britain achieve net zero? At EDF, Success is Personal – and with us, your career journey is yours to shape.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Commercial Manager in the Insight & Improvement Team, you will lead the delivery of commercial insights, data and intelligence, shareholder assurance, issue resolution and cost‑verification across all Supply Chain programmes. You’ll provide high‑quality analysis and reporting to support strategic decision‑making and continuous improvement.

Reporting to the Commercial Lead, you’ll work closely with Heads of Commercial and partners such as Nuclear Operations, using strong stakeholder management and leadership to drive effective reporting rhythms and shape successful outcomes. You’ll interrogate data to deliver insights across the full contract lifecycle.

You’ll oversee contract administration through CEMAR, manage key commercial relationships and ensure alignment with NNB procedures. Your focus will be maximising contract performance and minimising commercial risk through meaningful data. Using advanced dashboards and analytical tools, you’ll enhance reporting capability and add value across HPC commercial teams.

Success in this role requires delivering critical business intelligence and influencing peers to support programme-wide performance.

This is a hybrid role based at #AztecWest with some flexibility to work from home – though you’ll be expected in the office two/three days a week.

• Excellent stakeholder and relationship management skills, effective across multidisciplinary teams with strong communication and presentation capability.
