Commercial Manager – Social Infrastructure
* Can be based Brisbane or Sydney
* $230 - $250K+
* High-profile projects. Complex contracts. Tangible impact.
Step into a senior commercial role where your work directly shapes the delivery of essential social infrastructure — from education to healthcare and beyond. This is your opportunity to operate at the intersection of commercial strategy, contract performance, and real-world community outcomes.
The Role
As Commercial Manager, you'll take the lead in ensuring large-scale service and infrastructure contracts are delivered profitably, compliantly, and to the highest standard. You'll be the go-to commercial authority for operational leaders, translating complex terms into clear strategies and guiding the business through challenges and opportunities.
You will:
* Own the commercial performance of multi-million-dollar contracts.
* Drive entitlement management, dispute resolution, and variation control.
* Lead risk and opportunity reviews that safeguard and grow the business.
* Partner with operational teams to ensure obligations are understood and met.
* Build strong, trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and partners.
* Shape and execute strategies that enhance contract outcomes and business growth.
About You
* Degree-qualified in commerce, law, finance, engineering, or similar.
* Significant experience managing complex contracts — ideally in facilities, asset management, or large-scale services under PPP or equivalent models.
* Expert in scope changes, variations, KPI/abatement, and performance frameworks.
* Confident with both qualitative and quantitative risk assessment.
* Strong communicator and negotiator, able to work across operational, commercial, and client teams.
Why This Role?
This is not a back-office contract admin role. It's a seat at the table where decisions are made, problems are solved, and strategies are set. You'll work on projects that matter, with the scope to influence outcomes and the backing of a high-performing team.
The work is challenging, the environment is fast-moving, and the opportunities to make an impact are real.
