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 and managing the preparation of contractual artefacts and requests for tender with a thorough understanding of procurement risks.
- You can manage complex strategic contracts for Defence or government with a strong understanding of commercial risks and how to ensure value for money is maintained over the contract term.
- You enjoy and have developed strong skills in managing both internal teams and stakeholders.
- You have an interest in business development and an appetite for taking on challenges/initiatives and contributing to the overall growth of your team.
- You provide advanced technical knowledge, direction and development opportunities to others, and build constructive working relationships with colleagues and clients across different teams.
- You are passionate 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 embrace a culture of innovation, lead by example, are commercially minded, are interested in large complex contracts, and love working with high performing teams.

**We are looking for people with**:
