Brisbane CBD | Full-time on site | Career pathway into Contract Management

Randstad is partnering exclusively with a well-established commodity import organisation to recruit someone who could work as Senior Contracts Officer for their Brisbane CBD office.

This is a hands-on operational role within a team of 5, dealing with high volume contracts. The team is divided between operational contracts officer and Contracts manager. The position will suit someone who enjoys being close to the detail of contracts and order management, while building the capability to step into a Contract Manager role over time.

You will initially join as a senior individual contributor, working closely with the Contract Manager and broader operations team, with clear opportunities to grow into leadership responsibilities as the business continues to expand.

Key Responsibilities

• Contracts & Order Management
• Prepare and manage contract documentation end-to-end
• Process purchase orders, sales contracts, invoices, packing lists and shipment reports
• Maintain accurate records and system updates
• Track shipments and coordinate with agents, forwarders and transport providers
• Monitor contract progress to ensure delivery timelines and compliance
• Assist with tender quotes and project bids

Operational Coordination

• Act as a key point of coordination between operations, customers and suppliers
• Maintain contract registers, documentation and reporting
• Support high-volume trading activity with strong attention to detail
• Ensure documentation and processes remain accurate and compliant

Team Support & Development

• Provide support and guidance to junior team members
• Step in as second-in-charge when required
• Contribute to improving processes and operational efficiency

About You

This role will suit someone with experience in operational procurement, contracts administration, logistics or trade operations who enjoys working in a fast-paced commercial environment.

You will likely bring:

• Experience in contracts administration, procurement, logistics or supply chain operations
• Strong organisational and documentation management skills
• Experience managing purchase orders, contracts or shipment documentation
• The ability to work closely with internal stakeholders and external vendors
• A hands-on, detail-oriented approach in a high-volume environment

Most importantly, you enjoy operational work today but have the ambition to grow into a Contract Manager role over time.

Why Apply?

• Annual bonus to compensate for the full time in office work
• Profitable business with strong market presence
• Stable team (Randstad recruited other team members who are still here)
• Career pathway into Contract Management
• Brisbane CBD office location – modern office

At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
