Commercial Manager (Construction) – 4 Day Work Week

Laminar Projects

We are Shape.Construction ! About the job Contractors bleed margin on every project. Unmanaged change. Disputed claims. Missing records. When field teams don't follow processes, events go undocumented. Commercial teams scramble for evidence that doesn't exist. Disputes drag on. Recoverable profit vanishes. On high-value projects, millions of pounds disappear. Why? - Field teams use clunky tools that are too complex and too slow. Critical events never get recorded. The audit trail has gaps. - Commercial teams fight disputes with weak evidence, chase missing records, and lose recoverable margin while the business faces unnecessary claims. Shape fixes this once and for all. Shape is the only platform simple enough for field teams to adopt instantly, yet powerful enough to drive real commercial outcomes. Site teams capture every issue, event, and change in real time. Shape automatically builds the bulletproof evidence commercial teams need to defend and recover claims. The result: Fewer lost disputes. Faster resolutions. Full subcontractor accountability. Commercial teams manage change proactively instead of reacting to it. This is the problem we solve. But to really help our customers, we need experts who understand their pain first-hand. Many of our customers are Quantity Surveyors. Who better to consult them than other Quantity Surveyors? That's where you come in. We are looking for a seasoned Managing Quantity Surveyor ready not just for a change of role, but a change of industry. This is your opportunity to break away from the grind of construction and step into the fast-growing world of construction SaaS. As our Manager of Commercial Strategy, you'll use your hard-won expertise to guide other commercial teams through the biggest challenge they face: change and claims. Instead of battling over margins on a single project, you'll be leading conversations that transform how entire companies protect their profit. This is consultative sales and customer success at the highest level - where your becomes the product and your impact scales far beyond any single contract. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Purpose of the role  To partner with our customers' commercial teams, helping them take control of change, disputes and claims using Shape. You will use your industry expertise to show them how to protect margin, build defensible records, and prevent the losses that most projects suffer today. Your top 5 responsibilities  1. Consult with commercial leaders to uncover where they are losing profit to change and disputes, and show how Shape stops margin leakage. 2. Support customer adoption ensuring site and office teams use Shape consistently to capture changes, issues and claims. 3. Coach customers on strengthening claims and defending disputes with documented, auditable records. 4. Act as the commercial voice inside Shape, shaping product development to better match the realities of construction projects. 5. Share best practice and lessons learned across our customer base, raising standards and outcomes for the entire industry. Your Capabilities  - Significant experience as a Commercial Manager or in a similar construction role. - Deep understanding of how unmanaged change and poor records erode project profitability. - Strong communication skills - able to win trust and explain complex issues simply. - Strategic thinker who can move from diagnosing problems to implementing solutions. - Desire to make an industry-wide impact, not just improve a single project or business. Nice to Have (If you don’t have it now you will after joining): - Experience advising or consulting with multiple stakeholders. - Knowledge of SaaS platforms or digital transformation in construction. - Comfortable leading workshops, training sessions, or customer presentations. - Ability to link commercial pain points to practical technology solutions. Shape isn’t the place for you if any of the following is true:  - You want an easy, chilled-out role without much challenge  - You like to be the smartest person in the room  - You don’t like continuously receiving honest candid feedback  - You prefer to do your own thing rather than work with a team  At Shape we value diverse experiences and perspectives, empowering each member to contribute their unique capabilities towards our collective success, so if you don’t think you meet all the criteria but still are excited about this role we encourage you to apply anyway!  _________________________________________________________________________________________ Salary and Benefits  Standard Stuff  - Extremely competitive - Paid annual leave (varies by location) + statutory bank holidays - Private health insurance - In-house coaching sessions - Discretionary bonus scheme for all team members The Life-Changing Stuff  - 4 Day Weeks: that’s right, every week - Flexibility: We care about outcomes, not clock-watching - Grow your whole self: Access to a coach, mentor, well-being therapist and a development-focused environment designed to give you 5 years of growth in 1 year - Be surrounded by the best: We only hire the top talent; progression is fast and development is unbounded. - Long-term impact: Shape is tackling the single biggest issue in construction delivery, with solutions designed to spread and outlast us. *Please do not book a demo via the Shape website as part of the application.

Lottie

🏷️ Title: Account Manager 👫 Department: Account Management 💰 Salary: £35,000 - £50,000 + commission 🎁 Benefits & Culture: See here 📈 Equity: A very generous EMI share offering 🌴 Holiday: 26 days + bank holidays 💗 Mission: Elevate later life for everybody and build the care sector of the future 💻 Office Policy: Hybrid with a minimum of 2 core office days per week 🌍 Office Location: London Bridge, London, UK   🔍 The Opportunity: Lottie is building the AI operating system for social care, changing how the UK finds, manages, and pays for care. Thousands of care providers work with Lottie today, either listed on our marketplace, running on Found by Lottie, or both - and every one of them is a partner our Account Management team looks after. You'll own a high-volume book of these partner accounts, spanning both the marketplace and Found. Rather than a small number of strategic relationships, this role is about managing scale: keeping a large portfolio healthy, engaged, and growing, while spotting the commercial opportunities within it. This is an individual contributor role, reporting into your Team Lead. You won't manage anyone, but you will be expected to bring real commercial instinct and rigour to how you run your book.   💻 What does this role involve? * Own and manage a high-volume portfolio of partner accounts across Lottie's marketplace and Found by Lottie, acting as the day-to-day point of contact for account health, performance, and queries. * Build genuine working relationships with partners at pace, understanding what they need from Lottie and making sure they're getting value. * Spot expansion opportunities across your book and act on them: promoting the right products, tiers, or Found modules for each partner and converting conversations into revenue. * Monitor account health and performance data across your portfolio, proactively flagging risk and stepping in before issues escalate. * Help define what great Account Management looks like at Lottie - building scalable and repeatable processes to deliver fantastic service across your portfolio. * Feed insights and partner themes back to your Team Lead and the product team to help shape what Lottie builds next. 💪 What problems will you be solving? * Lottie's partner base is large and growing fast across both marketplace and Found. You'll make sure that growth in volume doesn't come at the cost of quality or commercial performance. * Many partners have real, untapped potential - higher tiers, more products, greater engagement - and it's your job to find that potential and convert it. * At this volume, structure and process matter more than bespoke handling. You'll bring consistency and efficiency to how a large book gets managed, not just relationship-building.   👀 We think you’ll be a great fit if… * You have experience in account management, customer success, or another commercial relationship-facing role, ideally managing a high volume of accounts rather than a handful of strategic ones. * You're commercially minded: comfortable having expansion and upsell conversations and motivated by hitting revenue targets. * You're highly organised and process-driven, able to juggle a large portfolio without dropping the detail. * You communicate confidently and build rapport quickly, whether by phone, email, or video call. * You're comfortable working with data, using it to prioritise your time and flag risk across your book. * You thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and enjoy the challenge of scale over depth.   💔 This role isn’t for you if… * You're not passionate about elevating later life for everybody - our mission is at the heart of everything we do. * You're not prepared to use AI and process to work faster and smarter. * You prefer a small, high-touch portfolio of accounts over managing at volume. * You see account management as purely relationship farming rather than a commercial discipline. * You want a pre-defined playbook for every situation rather than adapting one on the fly. * You're uncomfortable with the ambiguity and pace of a fast-growing startup. 📝 Application We'd love to see a short video (2 minutes max) answering this question: Introduce yourself and tell us why you’re interested in Lottie and why you feel you’d be a good fit for the role. We appreciate this takes time. We receive a high volume of applications and this helps us assess you on more than your CV. 🔢 Lottie’s Interview Process 1. Screening interview led by Lottie's Talent Acquisition Lead (Alice Rooke) - remote 2. Case study - prework to be completed independently and presented to two commercial leaders at Lottie - remote 3. Final interview with Will Donnelly (Lottie's Co-Founder & CEO) and Hiring Manager - in person (London Bridge) 4. 🤩 Candidate Experience: All candidates will be informed of their application status. * Pre-Screen and Screening interview: You'll receive an email notification, but no specific feedback will be provided at this stage. * Case Study: If you are unsuccessful after the case study, you'll receive constructive feedback via email and be offered a debrief call with our Talent Lead. * Final Interview: For final-stage candidates who are not offered the role, we will provide feedback via a phone call.   🚀 Meet Lottie Founded with a mission to build the care sector of the future, Lottie is creating the AI operating system for social care - designed to unlock profitability for care providers and to make finding care as easy as booking a holiday on Airbnb.
