Are you looking to build your career in vendor management and operations within one of Australia's most dynamic and rapidly evolving industries? This is your opportunity to join a high-performing team in the superannuation sector and contribute to key vendor and data initiatives that drive long-term value.

**About the Role**:
As a **Vendor Relationships Assistant**, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the effective management of key third-party service providers.

You will contribute to process improvements, support governance and compliance efforts, and assist in managing vendor relationships to ensure value delivery and cost efficiency.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who has strong analytical skills, a detail-oriented mindset, and a desire to work in a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment.

**Key Responsibilities**:

- Maintain and update vendor market data in the Financial Inventory Tracking System (FITS).
- Assist with the lifecycle of vendor payments: purchase orders, invoice validation, and receipting.
- Support market data workflows and access enablement for internal users.
- Assist with annual budgeting and perform financial analysis in partnership with finance teams.
- Coordinate and support vendor governance activities, including contract execution and security assessments.
- Help identify and implement process improvements and automation opportunities.
- Assist with reporting and dashboard development to improve data visibility and decision-making.
- Liaise across teams to support vendor enablement, renewals, and regulatory compliance efforts.

**What We're Looking For**:

- Tertiary qualification in Business, Finance, or a related discipline.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail.
- Eagerness to learn and develop a deep understanding of data, systems, and vendor relationships.
- Excellent communication skills and confidence dealing with stakeholders.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office (particularly Excel); Power BI or Power Query experience is a plus.
- A collaborative team player who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
- Familiarity with the superannuation industry or financial services is desirable but not required.

**Why Join Us?**:

- Be part of a purpose-driven organisation that is shaping the future of retirement for millions of Australians.
- Work with a supportive team that values innovation, continuous improvement, and professional growth.
- Hybrid working model that promotes work-life balance.
- Exposure to strategic vendor management and investment data processes.
