Commercial Performance Lead

Commercial Performance Lead | Drive Performance at the Heart of Our Commercial Business

At La Fosse, we do things a little differently. We're an employee-owned talent solutions business that specialises in technology, digital, and change - but at our core, we're all about people. 

Our goal is to create a working world where talent is recognised for what it brings to the table, not where it comes from. That's why we work with organisations of all sizes to solve people and business challenges - whether that's helping them find great talent, build long-term capability, or shape future leadership. We do this through our recruitment, academy, solutions, and executive search services. 

What really sets us apart? Everyone here has a stake in the business. We're employee-owned, which means we all have a voice, and we all share in the success we create. That sense of ownership shapes everything - from how we make decisions to how we support each other to grow. 

The culture here is ambitious but grounded. We care about doing good work and being good people while we do it. There's a genuine focus on learning, development, and helping people build careers they're proud of. You'll be part of a team that's collaborative, down-to-earth, and serious about making an impact - but without taking itself too seriously. 

If you're looking for a place where you can do meaningful work, progress at pace, and be part of a business that's growing with purpose - La Fosse is a great place to do it. 

The Role: 

We're looking for a dynamic Commercial Performance Lead to join our high-impact People team, working closely with our senior sales leadership to drive performance, productivity, and growth across our commercial division.

This role goes beyond traditional L&D. It's about streamlining processes, unlocking potential, and delivering learning that directly fuels commercial success. You'll be coaching recruiters one-to-one, running impactful group sessions, and designing programmes that accelerate development at mid to senior levels. You'll also play a key role in onboarding, mentoring, and contributing to business-critical initiatives.

You'll work with senior stakeholders, embed high-performance practices, and deliver data-led learning experiences that create tangible business value.

About the team

You'll join a passionate and collaborative Commercial Performance Lead that thrives on making a real difference. You'll report into the Head of Talent Development and work alongside a Talent Development Lead and a Talent Development Coordinator.

You'll also be closely partnered with the wider People team, including Talent Acquisition and HR.

We value fresh thinking, open communication, and a shared drive to help people grow. Whether it's through tailored learning solutions, coaching conversations, or strategic capability planning, you'll have space to make your mark.

Why La Fosse

We're a people-first business with bold ambitions. From our inclusive culture to our focus on development and innovation, we're proud of what we do and how we do it. If you're curious, proactive, and energised by working at pace, we'd love to meet you.
