Commercial Director Jobs

Attributes of a Commercial Director

Heading up commercial strategy, the Commercial Director is likely to have a recognised financial qualification, or an impeccable career background in sales and marketing. Blue Chip organisations and Public Sector departments view the Commercial Director role as key to improving sales, productivity and service, by strategically driving the business forward, in line with a long-term vision. Commercial Director jobs command salaries of around £60k to £100k and are secured by senior professionals with energy, charisma, ideas and a track record of getting results.

Key Responsibilities of a Commercial Director

The Commercial Director will sit on the Board and lead a team of sales and finance professionals. The job entails compiling budgets and forecasts, reporting to the CEO on business performance, and shaping and implementing strategic activities, such as growth into international markets, or new product development. Commercial Directors tend to require full understanding of a company’s market position, consumer trends, and competitors’ positioning, so analysing market data is a major part of the job. He or she may have to establish KPI systems (Key Performance Indicators) for measuring different aspects of an organisations performance.

Inside the Job

Commercial Directors are typically ambitious, strategic thinkers, and determined to proactively push the business forward. They need to be naturally good at networking, with excellent business contacts, and hungry for new ways to improve the business. Often the role is client-facing, so a skilled communicator who can handle multiple client accounts will do well. Dynamic leadership, management and team building skills will be essential.
