Commercial Officer (12-Month Maternity Cover) – EMEA
Location: Denham, Buckinghamshire
Protecting those who fly.
At Martin-Baker, we don’t just engineer ejection seats; we engineer lifelines. With over 7,800 lives saved to date, our mission is clear and our impact is global. We are looking for a driven, commercially minded professional to join our Denham team for a 12-month fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave.
The Role
As a Commercial Officer for the EMEA region, you will be the commercial heartbeat of your allocated customer accounts. This is a high-visibility, fast-paced role where you will manage the end-to-end lifecycle of international defence contracts—from initial bid support to post-contract administration.
This is an incredible opportunity to gain exposure to complex global contracting within a world-leading aerospace manufacturer.
Your Impact
* Relationship Management: Act as the primary commercial point of contact, building trusted partnerships with international customers.
* Bids & Proposals: Lead routine quotations and support major cross-functional bids for both competitive and sole-source requirements.
* Contract Excellence: Manage the fine print. You’ll handle contract amendments, invoicing, and reporting while ensuring all data is meticulously maintained in SAP.
* Negotiation: Represent Martin-Baker in negotiations, securing terms that protect the business while delivering for the customer.
* Global Reach: Ensure internal teams are aligned with customer needs, occasionally travelling within the UK or overseas to support account objectives.
About You
We are looking for an energetic "self-starter" who thrives on variety and detail. You should have a natural flair for communication and a keen interest in the mechanics of international business.
Essential Requirements:
* Systems Savvy: Experience with SAP (or similar MRP systems) and strong Microsoft Excel skills.
* Commercial Foundations: A solid understanding of contract, procurement, or bid management concepts.
* Analytical Mindset: Strong numerical skills with the ability to interpret complex data.
* Communication: The confidence to engage with stakeholders at all levels, both in writing and in person.
* Education: A degree (or equivalent) in Business, Law, Engineering, Economics, or a related field.
Why Martin-Baker?
Your work here matters. Beyond the pride of supporting a life-saving mission, we offer a market-leading benefits package:
* Work-Life Balance: Midday finish every Friday.
* Financial Security: 9% non-contributory pension and 4x Life Assurance.
* Generous Leave: 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with the option to buy more).
* Wellbeing: Healthcare Cash Plan, Cycle to Work scheme, and nursery benefits.
* Growth: A personalised training and development plan to help you excel during your 12 months with us.
The Journey
1. Telephone Discovery: A telephone interview with our recruitment team to discuss your background and motivations.
2. First Stage (Teams): An interview with the Hiring Manager, including online numerical and verbal reasoning assessments.
3. Final Stage: A face-to-face interview at our Denham site.
Please note: This role requires BPSS security clearance. Applicants must have the existing right to work and currently reside in the UK.
