The Opportunity

We're looking for a Contract Specialist to join a dynamic project team on a 6-month day rate contract. The Contract Specialist will play a critical role in supporting the organisation's merger and acquisition (M&A) activities by managing, reviewing, and coordinating all contractual and compliance-related aspects of due diligence, transaction execution, and post-merger integration. 

You'll be working with a respected not-for-profit organisation based in Perth, WA (close to Perth Airport), with a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office.

Aspects of the role will include

  • Reviewing and analysing existing supplier service agreements to assess risks, obligations, and the ability to assign or novate such agreements.
  • Developing and maintaining contract registers with summary of key terms during the due diligence phase.
  • Coordinating input from internal stakeholders (legal, procurement, finance, and operations) to assess contractual impact and alignment with organisational policy.
  • Developing and executing transition plans for novation, termination, or consolidation of supplier contracts.
  • Drafting and negotiating new contracts with suppliers, utilising standard agreements.
  • Supporting governance reporting by providing summaries of key risks, dependencies, and decision points related to contractual commitment.
  • Working collaboratively with project leads, legal counsel, procurement, finance, and executive stakeholders throughout the transaction lifecycle.
  • Contributing to M&A project governance documentation, reporting, and status updates.

Your Background

  • Knowledge of the not for profit sector (but not a must).
  • Demonstrated experience in contract management, commercial law, or procurement within a not-for-profit, public sector, or regulated industry.
  • Experience supporting M&A or organisational integration projects.
  • Excellent analytical, negotiation, and drafting skills with attention to detail.

  • Day rate negotiable depending on experience.
