Senior Manager - Risk & Compliance (Contract Management)

The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact, senior role within a globally scaling, next-generation infrastructure business operating at the intersection of data centres, AI, and digital assets, all underpinned by a strong commitment to renewable energy and sustainability.

Backed by significant capital and listed internationally, the organisation has expanded rapidly across Australia, North America and Europe. With that growth comes increasing complexity across commercial agreements, funding structures, and regulatory obligations, creating a genuine need for a senior, hands-on leader to build and embed best-in-class frameworks.

This is not a traditional compliance role. It sits at the forefront of the business, working closely with senior stakeholders to ensure contractual obligations are understood, owned, and delivered across a global platform.

The Role

Reporting to the Director of Risk, you will take ownership of building and uplifting the organisation's contractual obligations and compliance capability, alongside broader regulatory responsibilities.

A key focus of the role is establishing a robust contract management framework, ensuring obligations across supplier, customer, and financing agreements are clearly translated into operational requirements and actively managed across the business.

You will:

• Lead the design and implementation of a contract obligations management framework across the organisation
• Translate complex contractual terms into clear, actionable business requirements and ownership structures
• Partner with stakeholders across Commercial, Legal, Finance and Operations to embed accountability for contractual commitments
• Monitor and track obligations across key agreements, ensuring ongoing compliance and visibility of risk exposure
• Identify and escalate contractual risks, issues or potential breaches
• Provide reporting and insights to senior leadership and Board-level stakeholders

Alongside this, you will play a key role across regulatory compliance, ensuring obligations are identified, monitored and met across multiple jurisdictions.

Why this role stands out:

• Contract management at scale: A genuine opportunity to build and own a global framework from the ground up
• High-growth environment: Join a business in a significant expansion phase with increasing complexity and visibility
• Commercially embedded role: Work directly with senior leaders across key functions - not a siloed compliance position
• Future-focused: Leverage technology and AI to modernise and scale compliance processes
• Flexible working: Hybrid model with a Sydney CBD office, candidates must be available to work on-site as required
• International exposure: Operate across multiple jurisdictions with diverse regulatory requirements

About You:

You will bring a strong blend of contractual/commercial acumen and risk/compliance expertise, ideally from a complex, fast-paced environment.

Your background is likely to include:

• 7+ years' experience in risk, compliance, legal, audit or commercial roles
• Strong exposure to contract management / obligations management, ideally within consulting or large-scale commercial environments
• Experience working with complex agreements (supplier, customer, financing/debt structures)
• Ability to interpret legal/contractual terms and translate them into practical, operational outcomes
• Experience building frameworks, governance models and processes from the ground up
• A commercial mindset with the ability to balance risk and business priorities
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving, scaling environment
