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?
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 Commercial Managers and Commercial Directors. Who better to consult them than other commercial professionals?
That's where you come in.

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.

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.

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.
