Hire Senior Commercial Managers who carry the commercial position across multiple projects — setting entitlement and claims strategy, leading commercial managers and QSs, and answering to the business for margin. Verified on portfolio margin outcomes and disputes resolved on favorable terms.
A structured process for the senior commercial hire — the seat that turns individual project positions into a defensible portfolio margin story.
30-minute call. We align on portfolio value and mix, contract forms, live claims exposure, the commercial team to be led, and reporting line — operations, commercial director, or CFO.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Senior Commercial Managers with sector-matched multi-project history at your scale. References from directors and executives who owned the P&L included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee — retained search, contract, and direct hire alike.
We verify how the candidate’s project portfolio closed against tender margin — across several jobs and cycles, not one flagship project — with the executives who saw the CVRs.
Reference-verified judgment on when to settle, when to escalate, and when to hold — including mediation, adjudication, and arbitration outcomes where they exist.
Verified development of commercial managers and QSs into leaders — because at this level the seat is judged on the team’s output, not personal heroics.
Reference-verified commercial leadership across concurrent projects — typically $300M–$1.5B+ aggregate — with consistent standards across teams.
Portfolio margin performance, cash position management, and honest cost-value reporting — checked with P&L owners, not self-reported.
Entitlement strategy, claims preparation quality, and dispute outcomes — including candor about the ones that went against them.
Monthly commercial review discipline, risk registers with owners and dates, and escalation behavior that surfaced problems early — verified with executives.
We’ll help calibrate on the call — portfolio value, claims exposure, and team size usually settle whether you need a project commercial manager, a senior, or a director.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks; total time to placement typically 4–6 weeks. At this level candidates are managing notice periods, retention bonuses, and often live disputes — we manage that transition timeline with you from day one.
Most US Senior Commercial Manager base salaries fall between $175,000 and $230,000, with hyperscale and semiconductor programs commonly at $195,000–$250,000 plus 20–30% bonus. Candidates with favorable dispute records on major programs command the top of the band.
A Senior Commercial Manager still runs project positions directly while leading other commercial staff. A Commercial Director owns the function — commercial policy, pre-award risk, staffing, and board-level reporting across the business unit. Portfolio scale and pre-award involvement are the usual dividing lines.
Yes. We track senior commercial talent with mediation, adjudication, and arbitration experience across US and international forms — and we verify outcomes discreetly, because dispute records are exactly where CVs get creative.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, on every engagement model.
We reference portfolio margin, dispute outcomes, and governance behavior with P&L owners — and we run the search confidentially, which matters when the strongest candidates are holding sensitive commercial positions for competitors.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review portfolio value, claims exposure, team structure, and reporting line — then start a mapped, confidential search for your senior commercial lead.
