* Develop and implement robust governance frameworks for enterprise contracts that balance compliance with business agility
* Partner with stakeholders across divisions to align contract execution with organisational strategic priorities, goals, operational needs and value objectives
* Guide complex negotiations and issue resolution, resolving matters promptly while maintaining strong business relationships and minimising risk exposure
