About The Role

This is a key role within our Risk, Contracts & Compliance team, with real scope to influence how contracts are managed across the business.

As Contracts Manager, you will take ownership of our contract management approach end-to-end - working across a broad mix of agreements and partnering with stakeholders and customers to ensure commercial outcomes are well balanced and effectively managed.

You will play a central role in strengthening governance and consistency, while also helping the business navigate risk in a practical, commercially grounded way.

There’s also a strong opportunity to shape and improve how we do things - particularly as we continue to evolve our processes, systems and overall contract lifecycle.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Leading contract governance, including frameworks, templates and approval pathways
• Reviewing and negotiating a wide range of agreements across the business
• Providing clear, commercially focused advice to support decision-making
• Partnering closely with stakeholders on contractual matters and negotiations
• Strengthening risk and compliance practices to ensure consistency and control
• Identifying and driving improvements in contract processes and tools

What You Bring

You bring a strong commercial mindset, with the ability to balance risk, practicality and business outcomes. You’re confident working across stakeholders and comfortable operating in a role that requires both influence and sound judgement.

You’ll Likely Have

• Solid experience in contract management, legal advisory or commercial risk roles
• A strong understanding of contract structures, terms and risk allocation
• Experience negotiating across a broad range of agreements
• The ability to provide clear, pragmatic advice in complex situations
• Ability to convert legal terminology into clear, concise communication that supports understanding and decision-making
• A legal qualification or proven experience operating in a similar role

Why join NHP?

This is an opportunity to step into a role where you can genuinely influence how contract management is embedded across a complex and growing business.

You’ll work closely with leaders across Finance, Sales, Supply Chain and Operations, and be part of a team that values collaboration, practical thinking and continuous improvement.

Alongside this, you’ll have access to a range of benefits including:

• A flexible, supportive work environment
• Ongoing learning and development
• Employee Assistance Program for you and your family
• Novated leasing options
• Health insurance discounts with Bupa
• Paid parental leave
