• Regularly analysing contract performance to identify opportunities for improvement, optimisation, and added value.
• Proactively managing contract renewals and scope expansions, while contributing to the development of policies that support broader business objectives.

What you’ll bring to the table:

• Professional education, certification, or formal studies in Commercial Contracts, Law, Business, or a related discipline.
