Commercial Manager Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently led a contract renewal process that kept key revenue secure while trimming risk, and it taught me the value of a clear commercial path. In the last year I supported a portfolio worth around $60m and delivered pricing changes that reduced discounting while protecting margins. I’m looking to bring that steadiness and practical judgment to [Company Name] as its Commercial Manager. I align well with commercial operations, contract governance and pricing strategy. I’m comfortable negotiating with suppliers and customers, building commercial terms that are fair and enforceable, and spotting opportunities to sharpen our go-to-market approach. I’m also comfortable working with finance and ops to forecast and report on risk, margin and pipeline. One example that stands out: we faced a short-term dip in orders due to a supplier delay. I coordinated across procurement, legal and ops to rework terms, adjust our pricing guardrails, and secure a new delivery schedule. The result was a stable revenue outlook for the quarter and significantly improved supplier collaboration, which reduced lead times by 12 days on several key components. I’m ready to discuss how I can contribute to your team and help shape the commercial strategy at [Company Name]. I’m available for a conversation at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
