Our Victorian Government client is seeking a Supplier & Contracts Specialist to support a major digital services program within a large and complex technology environment.

This role will focus on supplier onboarding, vendor coordination, service readiness and ongoing supplier management, working across a growing panel of software suppliers.

• Maintain supplier documentation, onboarding checklists, status reporting, processes and service transition information.

About you:

• Strong stakeholder management skills and confidence working directly with external suppliers.
