Commercial Manager

The Role

We’re looking for a talented Commercial Manager with experience managing mixed use residential developments in London to lead the surveying teams across three of our major estate transformation projects in central London.

You'll be part of delivering 1600 new homes alongside our JV partners in London, and our business has a healthy, growing pipeline of meaningful estate transformation work coming down the track.

Ours is a high performance culture. High performance here requires bringing all of your legal, contractual, financial and leadership experience, honed on large projects, into support of our mission of pursuing better, differently. You'll be managing costs and driving quality - including subcontract and supplier procurement, monthly financial reporting, and learning to lead a team in the distinctive Mount Anvil way.

Working closely with our Construction Director (Andy) and reporting into Mark, our highly skilled Commercial Director who’ll support your adaptation to our culture that places candour and openness at the heart of the cross-functional relationships that get us results.

We value the experience you've gained already on major projects and high value procurement, AND a cornerstone of our culture is a commitment to getting better - to do this, you’ll be expected to give and get feedback from day one. We think candour and openness is the fastest way to learn and to build trust – we hate unnecessary hierarchy and “my way or the highway” has no place here and we expect (and support!) people to take responsibility for their outcomes and for the health of the business, not blame or complain.

We’re here to Pursue Better, Differently. So, if getting better, day after day and building a team of top surveying talent, is what you’re about then come and do that with us on these flagship Islington, Southwark and Camden schemes.

About Us

What we do: We’ve worked in partnership for 31 years to create outstanding places in London. We’re growing, with our construction turnover doubling, and with a pipeline of new projects where we’re raring to get started and make a difference.

Why we’re here: We’re here to pursue better, differently.

Better: One of The Sunday Times’ “100 Best Small Companies to Work For” for over a decade, winner of multiple Pride In The Job and WhatHouse awards for our people and the quality of our homes, and proud to have the nation’s best site in our ranks (winning the highest possible marks across the Considerate Constructors Scheme’s five areas – the first site ever to do so in 22 years of the CCS).

Differently: Our culture is unusual. Different means more transparent with information. More direct with feedback that helps us all grow. More rigorous about setting goals, then giving more freedom to go and achieve them. It’s definitely not for everyone. We don’t hire know-it-alls, we hire “learn-it-alls”. As our CEO, Killian, says: “We work hard to find people who thrive on context and responsibility, rather than rules and procedures. We then work like owner managers, not a leader and a load of helpers.”

Benefits:

Private medical insurance for you and your family through Vitality (including discounts on spa breaks, cinema tickets and your food shopping, free café nero 50% off Virgin Active Membership and more).

Income Protection Insurance to help you cope financially if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, Life Assurance equivalent to four times your salary, your annual leave & Bank Holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity leave and workplace nursery salary sacrifice, allowing you to save tax and NI on monthly nursery fees.

We think the best benefit of being here is the learning culture and the ability to make a real difference – we dislike hierarchy and politics, and “not my job” isn’t in our vernacular. Which means if you really care about raising the bar and really want to feel connected to the end product, as opposed to like a cog in a big machine, this could be the place for you to grow your career.
