EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Management Recruitment Group are partnering with Berkeley Homes (East Thames) Limited to appoint a Head of Commercial. Berkeley Homes (East Thames) Limited is an operating company of Berkley Homes East & West Thames Region. Reporting directly to the Commercial Director, this newly created role represents an opportunity to take leadership responsibility for the commercial function of the business; initially focusing on two landmark schemes and subsequently managing future workload within the business, as and when future projects are undertaken. The longevity and scale of both current and future developments will see the new Head of Commercial playing a key role in the operational leadership of this business. In the short term, responsibility will be for two major developments including Kidbrooke Village and Royal Woolwich Arsenal Regeneration schemes. This gives the opportunity for the Head of Commercial to play a key role in the delivery of landmark, major projects that will promote enhancement of their career track record and experience. Reporting to the Commercial Director, the Head of Commercial will take lead responsibility for the management of the commercial elements of all developments under the Berkeley Homes ( East Thames) Limited business; leading, motivating and managing an in-house commercial function, consisting of Managing Surveyors through to Commercial Assistants and support staff. We are seeking candidates with a proven track record of working for residential developers or resi-led design and build contractors, with experience of having previously worked on large-scale regeneration, mixed-use schemes and/or residential towers. With extensive management experience, gravitas and credibility to lead an experienced team, we are looking for someone with exceptional commercial acumen and the ability to thrive in what can be a highly pressurised environment. A solid surveying background is expected, with a sound knowledge and understanding of forward planning, real-time residential and construction trends and ability to appraise the team’s outputs. This role will lead to a directorship within the business and we are looking to find someone that has the commercial and surveying experience, but also a candidate that is comfortable in directing teams of varying seniority as well as working in tandem with other divisions. To be considered for this role you will have demonstrated a sustained track record of progression in previous roles. This role will suit someone who is potentially between 2 and 4 years away from Commercial Director level and is seeking to progress to this level in the relatively-short term. The business continues to grow and has an ambitious pipeline of future projects beyond the current long-term schemes, thus giving a genuinely long-term, progressive and rewarding career opportunity. The appointed candidate will not only be viewed as the eventual successor to the current Commercial Director, but will also benefit from an industry-leading salary package and long-term incentive plan.
