The Commercial Officer will report to the Director of Innovation and Strategic Alliances for commercial and funding management decisions and escalation. Day-to-day operations will be coordinated with the H2-Cities Project Officer and Communications Officer. The primary focus will be to ensure the adherence to the defined project plan, KPI and activities outlined in the EIT-H2Cities proposal.
This commercial/trouble-shooter role is key as H2-Cities requires overarching coordination and facilitation between private, public, academic, and SME’s differing operational and strategic models. The officer will manage interdependencies, timelines, delays/technical challenges, and issues that will arise during implementation. Each H2 city will be supported through the project lifecycle stages by the commercial/trouble-shooter. This role will both manage the existing project relationships and look to ensure new partners and cities can be integrated over the project period. In relation to monitoring and control, the Commercial Officer will identify problems before they become management issues and flag to the Project Management team. The Commercial Officer will maintain an iterative “Issues Log” to ensure the dependencies, issues and problems are visible to all and their mitigation managed to close.
