El 1 - Contract Manager

5 days ago

Canberra, Australia Australian Government Department of Defence Full time

$108,195 - $122,044 (plus Super)
- Brindabella Park - ACT

**The Role**
Work at the heart of a cutting-edge enterprise that is fast tracking the delivery of Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO) manufacturing in Australia. Working on this major, $1 billion Australian Government initiative, you will lead and direct overall contract management. This includes creating and maintaining complex contracts with million-dollar budgets as well as managing critical contractor relationships.

As the EL 1 Commercial Manager, you will lead the practical operational side of procurement and contracts (writing contracts, executing changes, delivering work and financial management). You will also manage the relationship side (communicating with contractors, managing performance and delivery). Be accountable for timely internal and external procurement and contract reporting such as key achievements to date, cost, schedule and risk management.

A major responsibility is maintaining productive contractor relationships—ongoing liaison, providing direction, monitoring performance—so contracts comply with Defence needs and standards.

As the EL 1 Commercial Manager, you will lead and direct a dynamic, cohesive integrated team and manage detailed workflows. You will set work that align with strategic objectives and communicate expected contract or business outcomes. A strong contract management background is essential. An understanding of Defence contracts and Defence policy is highly desirable. Knowledge of CASG is a bonus.

This position is for a high functioning, proactive, self-starter who will inspire strong support for the GWEO enterprise.

**About our Team**
Government recently announced the acceleration of a Sovereign Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO) Enterprise. The GWEO Enterprise will enhance Australia’s self-reliance and supply chain resilience and develop a sovereign guided weapons manufacturing capability.

The Enterprise is a directorate in Defence’s newly formed Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Division in the Capability Acquisition Sustainment Group (CASG). GWEO partners with industry to acquire and sustain a multi-billion-dollar portfolio of explosive ordnance capability to support the Australian Defence Force.

This newly established team will work collaboratively and achieve results to a very high standard. The team will grow quickly in the coming months and be made up of a dynamic and flexible Australian Public Sector, Australian Defence Force and contractor workforce from the private sector.
- Lead and direct complex contract management by creating and maintaining contracts with million-dollar budgets as well as managing critical contractor relationships.
- Establish and maintain productive contractor relations by continually and clearly communicating with influence, and negotiating persuasively.
- Achieve real results by leveraging a strong contract management background, driving excellent contract design, directing implementation, monitoring performance, steering and implementing change, and dealing with risk.
- Lead and manage a dynamic team by setting clear performance and behavioural expectations, delegating responsibility, managing performance, providing leadership and direction on the importance of Enterprise work.
- Exhibit professionalism, personal drive and integrity by engaging with risk, committing to action, displaying resilience, demonstrating self-awareness and commitment in a multi-faceted continually shifting environment.
- Shape strategic thinking by inspiring a sense of purpose and direction, focusing strategically, harnessing information and opportunities and showing judgement, intelligence and common sense.
