Head of Commercial - #2190963

Head of Commercial

£80,000–£100,000 | Hybrid: York, Oxford or Edinburgh

An opportunity to shape commercial strategy, develop new revenue streams and play an influential role within an organisation operating across UK agriculture.

The Talent Movement is partnering with an established organisation looking to appoint a Head of Commercial into a newly created, senior leadership position.

With strong foundations, established industry relationships and significant expertise already in place, the organisation is looking to broaden its commercial offering, develop new partnerships and create sustainable opportunities for growth.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys building something new. You'll have the scope to shape commercial direction, develop propositions, identify new markets and turn opportunities into revenue.

It's a role that combines strategic thinking with hands-on commercial development, working closely with senior leadership and internal teams to bring new ideas to market.

You'll be responsible for:

• Shaping and delivering a commercial strategy focused on new revenue generation and long-term growth.
• Identifying opportunities to develop new products, services and commercial propositions.
• Building strategic relationships and partnerships across the agricultural and wider business landscape.
• Working with internal teams to develop commercially viable offerings, including pricing and routes to market.
• Identifying, evaluating and securing new business opportunities, from longer-term partnerships to bespoke commercial agreements.
• Establishing a strong commercial pipeline and developing the approach as the organisation grows.

About you

We're looking for an established commercial leader with strong knowledge and credibility within the UK agricultural sector.

You'll understand the market, its challenges and opportunities, and be comfortable engaging with senior decision-makers across the industry.

You'll also bring:

• A successful track record in commercial leadership, business development and revenue growth.
• Experience developing and taking new propositions, products or services to market.
• Strong commercial judgement, including pricing, negotiation and assessing the viability of new opportunities.
• Experience building partnerships and developing relationships across different customer groups.
• The ability to work strategically while remaining hands-on in identifying and progressing opportunities.
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial approach and the confidence to influence at senior leadership level.

Your background might be in agricultural consultancy, market intelligence, research, advisory services, technology or other commercially focused businesses operating within agriculture.

We're particularly interested in people who have experience commercialising expertise, knowledge or services, rather than solely selling established products.

Why consider it?

This is a chance to take ownership of a developing commercial offering and have a genuine influence. You'll work closely with executive leadership, have the opportunity to shape new revenue streams and partnerships, and play an important role in developing the commercial function over time.
