The Opportunity

Eaton Syalon are supporting a large, nationwide organisation within the social care sector on a high-impact income optimisation project.

Significant work has already been undertaken to identify gaps in funding, historic underpayments, and inconsistencies in fee structures.

The next phase — and the focus of this role — is driving the commercial outcome.

This is a front-facing, commercially focused interim assignment, working directly with Local Authorities and NHS commissioning teams to renegotiate fee positions, secure uplifts, and influence long-term pricing strategy.

The Role

Working closely with senior leadership, you will take ownership of progressing this project into delivery:

• Lead discussions with commissioners to address fee discrepancies, uplifts, and back-payments
• Translate detailed financial analysis into clear, commercially robust narratives
• Negotiate and influence across Local Authority and NHS stakeholders
• Support the development of a more structured and sustainable pricing approach
• Drive momentum and ensure the organisation achieves tangible financial outcomes

This is not a role focused on identifying issues — that work has been done.

This is about owning the conversation and delivering results.

About You

We are looking for a commercially credible professional who is comfortable operating in complex, stakeholder-heavy environments. xwzovoh

You will bring:

• Proven experience in negotiation and stakeholder management at a senior level
• A strong understanding of pricing, funding, or income streams
• The confidence to balance commercial acumen with sensitivity in a care-led environment

Experience within social care, healthcare, Local Authority or NHS commissioning environments would be highly advantageous.
