    - Build and maintain collaborative and strong relationships with business units and external stakeholders
    - Drive continuous improvement across the end-to-end contract management and lifecycle processes
    - Coach and advise managers on contract management best practice
    - Ensure governance, compliance, and risk mitigation frameworks are upheld
    - Ability to work more broadly on emerging legal and contract items as required

    - Minimum 7 years' experience in a Contract Administrator or similar commercial role, ideally across large projects
    - Demonstrated experience managing large-scale, complex project contracts
    - Strong commercial negotiation capability with a track record of improving financial outcomes balancing risk and opportunity
    - Sound understanding of contract law and risk management principles
    - Ability to build trusted relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders
    - Highly organized, analytical with strong problem-solving skills
    - Relevant tertiary qualifications in either Law, Surveying, Commerce, or Business
