We’re looking for a capable Contracts Administrator to join a large, well-established organisation in Wellington. This is a great opportunity to work within a busy commercial environment, supporting the effective administration of a significant and complex portfolio of contracts delivering important services across New Zealand. 

Starting immediately, this contract will run through to 30 June 2027, with the potential to extend or become permanent.

The role

Working alongside experienced commercial professionals, you’ll provide administration and coordination across the contract lifecycle, ensuring documentation, records, approvals and key milestones are well managed.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining accurate contract registers, records and documentation
• Preparing and formatting contract documentation using established templates
• Coordinating formal commercial correspondence and supporting documentation
• Tracking approvals, delegations and key contract milestones
• Supporting contract variations, extensions and renewals
• Preparing documentation and information to support issue resolution and escalation
• Working closely with internal stakeholders to ensure effective contract administration
• Helping improve contract administration processes, tools and record-keeping.

About you

You’ll be an organised and detail-focused administrator who is comfortable working with contracts, documentation and multiple moving pieces.
We’d be keen to hear from candidates with experience in contract administration, commercial administration or procurement contracts.

You don’t necessarily need to come from a traditional contracts background if you have strong procurement contract experience and understand the importance of accurate documentation, approvals and record-keeping.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Previous contract administration or procurement contract experience
• Strong attention to detail and document management skills
• Confidence maintaining registers and tracking approvals and deadlines
• Experience preparing professional documentation and correspondence
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
• A collaborative approach and confidence dealing with a range of internal stakeholders

Why consider this opportunity?

This is a chance to join a large, complex organisation whose work supports essential services used by New Zealanders. You’ll gain exposure to a substantial commercial portfolio and work alongside experienced professionals while taking genuine ownership of the administration that keeps contracts running effectively. 

With an immediate start, a contract through to June 2027 and potential for extension or permanency, this offers excellent longevity for a contractor looking for their next assignment.
