Commercial Projects Manager - Energy Network

Our client is looking for a Commercial Projects Manager to work with a specialised finance team at an energy network business. The team is small and its work matters. You’ll combine project coordination, commercial analysis and robust writing to move several bespoke initiatives forward at the same time.

This is not a traditional PMO role. You’ll build the plan, coordinate the work and get it done, bringing the internal team and wider stakeholders with you. You’ll also support the leadership team by preparing steering committee updates and decision papers ready for executive briefings.

What you’ll do

- Review and critically assess evidence so narratives are consistent and well supported
- Identify issues and risks, and lead team discussions to agree how to mitigate them
- Bring the team together to test findings and agree a direction
- Draft memos, papers and decision documents ready for approval
- Build high-quality steering committee decks and briefing materials
- Prepare responses to AER information requests, including gathering supporting evidence and coordinating team review
- Scope new initiatives and reviews: objectives, actions, timing and stakeholders
- Start and lead projects, and drive delivery across the portfolio
- Prepare regular project status reports

About You

- A commercial, finance or commercial analytics background with hands‑on experience in projects, governance or assurance. You might be a Commercial Manager, Senior Commercial Analyst, Finance Business Partner or Commercial/Project Governance Manager
- Strong business writing. You can turn facts and evidence into a clear, persuasive story for papers, board‑style documents or regulatory responses
- Analytical rigour. You test information, spot inconsistencies and set out practical options
- A track record of running initiatives end to end, from scoping and planning through to coordinating people and delivering
- Comfortable with ambiguity, because every project is different
- A roll‑up‑the‑sleeves approach and the ability to bring colleagues and stakeholders with you
- Experience in a regulated industry (energy, utilities, infrastructure), or with contracts and board papers, is a plus but not essential
