About the role
This is an opportunity to join our Defence business in a commercially focused role that goes well beyond contract administration.
Working within the Contract & Business Development team, you’ll help bring together the commercial, financial, contractual and customer considerations behind successful contract delivery. You’ll work closely with customers and colleagues across commercial, programme, legal, finance, procurement and operational teams, giving you broad exposure to how complex Defence services are delivered.
You’ll take responsibility for areas including contract performance, risk, forecasting, billing and commercial governance, while looking for opportunities to improve margins, simplify processes and make the way we work better.
We’re not looking for someone who simply wants to follow an established process. We want someone curious and proactive who can analyse what’s happening, identify risks and opportunities, and suggest better ways of doing things.
There’s also plenty of opportunity to develop. As your knowledge grows, you’ll be trusted with greater ownership and encouraged to build your commercial and contract management capability within a supportive team.

Join us at a pivotal moment for BT Business. We are executing a multi-year transformation to restore growth, modernise at scale and unlock new markets beyond connectivity. Our ambition is clear – return to sustainable revenue and EBITDA growth, strengthen our market position, and deliver meaningful shareholder value through disciplined execution and bold reinvention.
We are fundamentally reshaping the business – simplifying our portfolio, digitising our customer experience and building market-leading capability across cyber, AI and managed services, all powered by the UK’s leading fixed and mobile networks. This is a shift from a legacy connectivity provider to a modern, solutions-led, AI-first business that can truly differentiate in a competitive and fast-moving market.
With execution momentum building and a clear path to growth, the opportunity now is to scale what works, accelerate performance and fully realise our potential. This is about delivering against ambitious financial outcomes while transforming how we operate – creating a business that is simpler, faster, more innovative and easier to do business with.
If you want to be part of the team shaping the turnaround of a multi-billion-pound business – and building a stronger, more competitive BT for the future – this is your moment.
