We're building our procurement capability and looking for a skilled Procurement Contracts Manager to help shape how Selwyn District Council manages contracts — improving consistency, systems, and performance. Reporting to and working closely with the Head of Procurement, you'll be instrumental in developing better processes, creating a centralised contract management system, and building strong relationships across the organisation.
This is a technical, hands-on role where you'll take ownership of how Council-wide contracts are managed. From day one, you'll consolidate all existing contracts into one system, creating a single source of truth for the business. You'll liaise with Legal to review agreements, provide advice on contract terms and risks, and help business units manage renewals, variations, and performance. Alongside the Head of Procurement, you'll also help shape policies and guidance to strengthen governance and contract management capability.

About you
