Job Description
Laminar Projects is recruiting a Commercial Manager for Shape, a construction platform that records changes, issues and claims as they happen on site and assembles auditable evidence for commercial teams. The listing is remote and full-time, on a four-day work week. The role suits experienced construction commercial professionals who want to move into construction software and into a consultative, customer-facing position.
The manager works with customers' commercial leaders to find where profit leaks through unmanaged change and disputes, and to show how Shape limits that leakage. Duties involve getting site and office staff to log changes, issues and claims in a uniform way, coaching clients on building firmer claims and defending disputes with paper trails, and spreading proven practices among users. The person also acts as the commercial voice inside the company and passes insight into product development so the platform fits real construction work.
Applicants should have meaningful years working in a Commercial Manager seat or a related construction post, plus a firm sense of how uncontrolled change and sloppy records wear down margins. Clear communication is needed to earn trust and explain complicated matters simply, along with strategic thinking that moves from diagnosis to execution. Helpful extras include advising several stakeholders, knowledge of construction digital transformation or software-as-a-service, running workshops or customer presentations, and linking commercial problems to technology.
The posting describes extremely competitive pay, a discretionary bonus scheme and paid annual leave that varies by location, plus statutory bank holidays. Further perks are private medical cover, internal coaching, and support from a coach, a mentor and a wellbeing therapist. Applicants who do not match every criterion are still encouraged to apply.

- Show commercial leaders where change and disputes cost profit, and how Shape reduces that loss
- Help site and office teams record changes, issues and claims consistently
