**About the job**

We have an opportunity for a Manager in our fast-expanding Commercial Enablement team with a focus on Defence and other government clients. This is an exciting role, with the opportunity to bring leading edge solutions to high value and long-term contracts. As an accomplished procurement and commercial management professional, you will work with extraordinary people who are passionate about supporting clients to deliver their outcomes.

**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 help our clients define and implement specific strategies on how suppliers are selected, contracted and managed to deliver the optimal level of cost, quality and supply to the organisation. Our proven commercial methodologies provides a suite of tools, templates and process considerations at each stage of the procurement lifecycle. 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.

The CE team delivers tailored solutions that help clients achieve the optimal level of value-for-money and compliance with policy, regulation and capability requirements. This means that our clients obtain fit-for-purpose capability that they need to enable their business operations. Our expertise helps them mitigate key commercial and supply chain risks while ensuring acquisition activities are commensurate with the scale and scope of the business requirement.

**How are you Extraordinary?**
- You have a deep understanding in defining contract requirements, drafting contractual artefacts, and developing requests for tender with a thorough understanding of procurement risks.

- 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.

- 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._
