Auckland City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Senior Contract and Relationship Manager - Professional Services
- Based in East Tamaki, Auckland with hybrid working
- Strategic Focus
- Newly created role

Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role
As our new Senior Contract and Relationship Manager - Professional Services, you'll take ownership of sub-categories of contract and relationship management activities, think the likes of contingent labour, cleaning, office supplies and other related services. You'll own the strategic relationship with vendors, ensuring all contract management activities are carried out and we maximise value. This will see you developing and executing internal and external relationship strategies for these sub-categories and you'll contribute to the strategic level governance forums.

**You'll also get involved in**:

- Providing contract knowledge and driving ongoing value through contract negotiations, changes, reviews and terminations
- Building a roadmap to support business objectives in line with sub-category strategies
- Managing vendor performance and service management, including Overseeing the evaluation and monitoring of contracts and compliance as agreed
- Conducting regular budget review meetings with finance to monitor vendor performance against budget
- Managing annual appraisals of contracts

Mōu - About you
You'll be experienced in the world of contract and relationship management, and used to working in large, complex organisation with high spend. You'll understand the value of building and partnering with suppliers.
This means you'll be a dab hand at contract negotiations, vendor management, 3rd party contracts and contract law. You'll bring a fresh perspective to the team, but also understand that things are the way they are for reason but doesn't mean you can't ask why and seek to improve things.
You'll be considered a thought leader for all sub-category contract types and bring your best practice contract knowledge and commercial acumen to the team.
Ideally you'll combine this with having up-to-date knowledge of the global Professional Services landscape, services offered, and pricing and also being a member of APICS/ NZPICs (Association for Operations and Supply Chain Professionals).
It also goes without saying, but we'll say it anyway, your communication skills will be top notch too.
