- Contribute to capability development through internal methodologies, templates and best‑practice guidelines

About You

- 8‑12 years’ experience in commercial advisory, transactions, procurement, infrastructure consulting, legal, engineering, or related fields

- Proven experience leading components of complex transactions, commercial negotiations, or major procurement processes

- Strong commercial judgement and the ability to structure options, assess risks and inform decision‑making

- Confident communicator with experience engaging senior stakeholders and leading discussions

- Demonstrated ability to manage teams, coordinate multidisciplinary inputs and deliver high‑quality outcomes
