Commercial CV writing service

Commercial CVs that show the money you
made or protected.

A commercial CV has to show that you've made money, protected it or kept risk under control. That means margin, contract values, savings and the claims you won or avoided, set out so a reader can see the scale in seconds. We'll work through your contracts and bids with you, then build the CV around them.

Who it's for

Early career, commercial leadership or moving across from another role.

Commercial roles look very different from one sector to the next. A construction commercial manager lives in NEC and JCT, while a services or public sector role is more about pricing, service agreements and procurement rules. We write to the version of commercial you're in.

Early and mid-career
Lead with scale and outcome: contract values, the portfolio you looked after, and what changed on your watch, whether that's margin up, cost down or a dispute avoided. In construction, listing NEC or JCT tells a hiring manager very little. Say what you did under them, from compensation events and variations through to final accounts. In service or corporate roles, the same goes for pricing, SLAs and the terms you negotiated.
Leadership
Pay in this field climbs fastest when you move from supporting contracts to owning margin, and a commercial leader's CV needs to reflect that. We'll show the margin you were accountable for across a division or portfolio, the bid and pricing strategy you set, the commercial risk you managed and the people you developed. If you work with the public sector, experience under the Procurement Act 2023, in force since February 2025, now belongs on the page.
Career changers
Most people arrive in commercial roles from somewhere nearby: quantity surveying, finance, sales, procurement or project management. The move tends to work once you have sector knowledge and some commercial exposure, so those go at the front of the CV. Pricing work, contract negotiations, supplier management and cost control from your current role all count. CIPS, RICS or contract law training help too, and should sit near the top.

The market

Plenty of work, not enough commercial people.

£385bn
of UK public procurement spend each year
£146bn
spent on outsourced public services in 2022 to 2023
41%
of construction surveyors reported problems hiring

UK public bodies spend around £385 billion a year on goods, works and services, and the rules governing that spend changed in February 2025 when the Procurement Act 2023 came into force. For anyone bidding for or managing public contracts, that's a live change to how work is won and run.

In construction, the shortage is well documented. RICS surveys have repeatedly flagged quantity surveyors as one of the hardest professional roles to recruit, and many commercial managers come up through that route. Fewer people coming through means more competition for the ones who can protect margin across a portfolio.

Commercial roles also tend to hold up better than most when the wider market cools, because they're tied directly to revenue and cost.
