Job description

Job Overview

We’re looking for a curious, analytical and commercially minded individual to join us as our new Commercial Development Coordinator. In this role, you’ll support the Commercial Development Manager to identify, shape, test and progress new service and business opportunities across ECCH and its subsidiaries.

What You Will Need

• Confidence working with concepts and information that are not always clear-cut or fully defined
• Ability to bring structure to emerging ideas, and turn discussion into clear, well-organised written outputs
• Comfortable planning and prioritising your own workload, and keeping track of multiple strands of work
• A logical, evidence-minded approach, with attention to detail and an interest in how organisations make decisions
• Ability to work with different teams, listen to varying perspectives and reflect them clearly in your work
• Willingness to explore feasibility, compare options and consider trade-offs when assessing opportunities
• Interest in building commercial awareness through real projects and practical experience
• If you recognise yourself in this profile, even if you have not worked in a commercial role before, we would be interested in hearing from you. We are looking for people who think clearly, ask good questions and are willing to learn and build capability through real, applied work.

Main duties of the job

• Contribute across the development process, working with colleagues to scan for potential opportunities and early ideas using insight from services, partners, market intelligence and local needs
• Help make sense of complex or incomplete information, testing assumptions and identifying what would need to be true for an opportunity to work
• Work with operational, finance, clinical and governance colleagues to understand delivery implications, risks, resource needs and capacity constraints
• Help define, compare and present different delivery approaches, capturing trade-offs, dependencies and alignment with organisational priorities
• Prepare clear, structured outputs such as summaries, models, option papers or early business proposals to support decision-making
• Keep track of how opportunities evolve, ensuring assumptions, reasoning and changes are clearly documented as options are refined
• And any other commercial challenges and opportunities that may arise as work develops
