The Team


The Commercial Enablement (CE) team brings a suite of expertise that aids our clients to acquire, sustain, upgrade and dispose of capability.

We continue to build upon our strong track record in Defence and broader federal and state government clients including home affairs, national security, justice and policing.

  • You are enthusiastic about developing strong relationships with clients, maintaining these relationships after engagement completion and assisting in the achievement of KPMG's ongoing Defence and government business development strategy.

Your Experience
We believe that diversity of thought, background and experience delivers meaningful benefits to our people, clients and communities.

With an enthusiasm to deliver quality in everything you do, you are commercially minded, details focused, interested in large complex contracts, and love working with high performing teams.


We are looking for people with:

  • Deep knowledge and skills in contract management, procurement processes and complex commercial agreements, preferably including experience with the ASDEFCON templates.
  • A depth of experience in roles managing outsourced supplier relationships and large commercial contracts.
  • Demonstrated understanding of the procurement lifecycle; from acquisition strategy and planning, tender development and evaluation, negotiations and contract establishment, through to contract management.
  • Familiarity with the Commonwealth legislative and policy frameworks (e.g., Commonwealth Procurement Rules, PGPA Act).
  • Exceptional oral and written communication (including experience with Defence brief and report writing)
- _ Tertiary qualifications preferably in commerce, law, business, or related fields (post graduate qualifications will be highly regarded). Cert IV in Procurement and Contracting favourable._
