Contracts Manager
Smith & Co
Posted 2 days ago
Location: Brisbane | Type: Full-Time | Industry: Art, Design, Construction
Our client is a global leader in the world of public art and architectural installations. They collaborate with some of the world’s most visionary artists, architects, and developers to deliver projects that challenge convention and redefine public spaces.
This is not your standard contracts role. This is a rare opportunity to work behind the scenes of award-winning, large-scale art and design projects — and play a key part in turning bold ideas into built reality.
They’re seeking a Contracts Manager who’s commercially savvy, legally sharp, and thrives in an environment where no two projects look the same. Someone who can protect the bottom line without stifling creative ambition. Someone who wants a long-term role where they can grow, contribute, and be part of something globally significant.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts that are clear, compliant, and built to support collaboration
- Working closely with project managers, curators, artists, suppliers and internal teams to ensure contracts align with project vision and delivery
- Identifying potential risks before they become real problems — and implementing practical solutions
- Keeping accurate records and documentation that tick all the compliance boxes
- Guiding internal stakeholders through complex contract terms and project requirements
- Acting as the key link between clients, subcontractors, artists, and legal advisors
- Staying across evolving industry regulations in construction, manufacturing, and the arts
What You Bring
- At least 5 years’ experience in contract management or a similar commercial/legal role
- Proven ability to negotiate, structure and manage contracts across diverse sectors
- Solid understanding of contract law, procurement processes, and supplier relationship management
- Strong communication and analytical skills, with a sharp eye for detail
- Experience navigating complex projects with multiple stakeholders
- Calm under pressure and confident juggling multiple contracts at once
Why This Opportunity?
Because it's not just a job — it's a career move.
Our client is a creative force — working at the intersection of art, design, and fabrication. They deliver world-class projects around the globe, but they also understand the importance of a grounded, people-first culture. Think creative energy without the burnout. Serious talent without the ego. Work that matters, with people who care.
If you're looking for more than a desk job — if you're ready to be part of something meaningful, challenging, and exciting — this might just be your perfect fit.
