Contracts Officer - NSW Government

Bring your contract management experience to a role where you'll make a real difference. A NSW Government agency is looking for an experienced Contract Officer to support the review and management of a significant portfolio of contracts associated with a major upcoming NSW event.

Working closely with the Procurement Lead and wider business, you'll play a key role in reviewing existing contractual arrangements, developing contract management plans, and ensuring supplier obligations, deliverables, and compliance requirements are managed effectively. You'll also have the opportunity to work with XAKIA, a new contract management system, helping improve contract visibility, reporting and overall management across the organisation.

What you'll be doing:

• Reviewing an extensive portfolio of existing contracts, identifying key obligations, deliverables, milestones, expiry dates and contractual requirements.
• Supporting the ongoing management and administration of NSW Government contracts.
• Working alongside the Procurement Lead to develop, implement and maintain contract management plans.
• Monitoring supplier performance, contractual obligations, deliverables and compliance.
• Identifying contractual risks, gaps and opportunities to improve existing arrangements.
• Maintaining accurate contract registers, records, documentation and reporting.
• Using XAKIA to support contract planning, tracking, monitoring and reporting.
• Partnering with internal stakeholders to ensure contracts are managed effectively and meet business requirements.
• Assisting with contract variations, renewals, extensions and other contractual matters.

What you'll bring:

• Demonstrated experience in a Contract Officer, Contract Administrator or Contract Management role.
• Previous experience working with NSW Government contracts and a sound understanding of government procurement and contract management frameworks.
• Strong experience reviewing contracts, interpreting contractual obligations and managing contract documentation.
• An understanding of contract management planning, supplier performance and risk management.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to build relationships across the organisation.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple contracts and competing priorities.
• Confidence using contract management systems and technology. Experience with XAKIA would be advantageous but is not essential.

What's on offer?

• Initial contract through to June 2027, with a strong possibility of extension through to September 2028 (depending on budget).
• Hybrid working – 2 days per week in the Sydney CBD office and 3 days working from home.
• The opportunity to work on a significant NSW Government initiative supporting a major upcoming event.
• Exposure to a substantial portfolio of government contracts and complex contractual arrangements.
• The opportunity to work closely with the Procurement Lead and contribute to improving contract management processes and practices.
