Waste Sector Commercial Specialist

Waste Sector Commercial Specialist (Contract opportunity)

Location: Anywhere in UK / Hybrid working with onsite requirement at client location

Who we are

Grant Thornton's Agile Talent Community is a network of contract professionals, giving you the opportunity to work with our clients alongside Grant Thornton teams on a project-by-project basis whilst being supported by our dedicated Agile Talent team.

Joining us in Public Sector Consulting

Our Energy Transition & Sustainability team is part of Grant Thornton UK's Net Zero practice. The team works across sectors to support clients to deliver financial and commercial solutions to Net Zero.

Joining the Agile Talent Community as an experienced Interim Waste, you will provide financial and commercial advice across the waste and environmental services sector, supporting clients to design, procure and deliver value for money waste solutions aligned with Net Zero objectives. You will shape, design and deliver value-for-money waste solutions aligned with Net Zero ambitions, supporting public and private sector clients through complex commercial, procurement and contractual challenges. We need someone who actively develops commercial deliverables and payment mechanisms, rather than someone who purely reviews work produced by others.

You will help clients design, procure and deliver value-for-money waste solutions aligned with Net Zero and wider environmental objectives.

You will have the freedom to work on projects that you choose whether full or part-time to support our clients and internal teams on short-to-medium-term assignments.

Skills we are looking for

• Waste project experience working on multiple projects in the UK within public or private sector.

• Strong commercial and/or financial advisory background with ability to produce deliverables

• Proven experience developing payment mechanisms

• Experience working with local authorities, waste operators or public procurement processes supporting procurements, commercial cases or contract structures

• Confident stakeholder engagement and communication skills

What's in it for you

Development: Your development is important to us and as part of the Agile Talent Community you will be able to work alongside our permanent teams as well as our clients, giving you variety and opportunity to develop new skills. Our team is here to support you, with finding new projects as well as navigating the freelance regulation.

Engagement: As a member of our Community, you will also be invited to events, which can help your wellbeing, educate you about the market you operate in, help you connect with the business as well as other members of the Community.
