Te Tākinatanga | Our Story
At Contact, we believe home is the most important place in the world. It's all part of our vision to leave Aotearoa better than we found it. We’re a power and broadband company, but we’re so much more than that. We are transforming the ways we mahi, and how Aotearoa is powered, leading the charge on renewable energy and digitising customer journeys in ways not yet seen here. A team of 1000+ from all walks of life who love what we do, look out for each other, and learn from one another every day, we’re stoked to be guided by our tikanga: we touch lives to make life better.
Procurement plays a key role in enabling Contact to deliver on its strategy. As part of the Finance & Risk function, the team partners closely with the business to support investment, manage risk, and ensure strong commercial outcomes across assets, services, technology, and supply chain activity. As Procurement continues to mature, strong contract management and governance are critical foundations for success.

We’re looking to appoint multiple Contracts Advisers to join Contact’s Procurement team. These roles sit at the heart of how Contact manages commercial risk, ensures contractual compliance, and supports the delivery of services and projects across the organisation.
As a Contracts Adviser, you’ll manage a portfolio of contracts, supporting renewals, extensions, and new agreements, ensuring contracts are well structured, well managed, and fit for purpose. You’ll work closely with Strategic Sourcing Specialists (Category Managers) and business stakeholders, providing practical advice and helping embed stronger governance and consistency across Contact.

- Support the development of new contracts and scopes of work
- Ensure contracts are accurately captured and maintained within SAP Ariba
- Provide advice to stakeholders on contractual obligations, risks, and options
- Support sourcing activity and work alongside Strategic Sourcing Specialists
- Help uplift contract governance and consistency as the function continues to evolve
These roles can be based in Auckland, Taupo, New Plymouth, Wellington, Tauranga, Christchurch, or other operating locations by arrangement, with flexible and hybrid working supported.
