## Description

At Ampol, we believe in the Power of Us - the extraordinary power of people to connect, act, and make a difference.

As a leading energy company operating across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States, our work spans fuel supply, energy solutions, convenience retail, infrastructure, trading, and shipping. Every role at Ampol plays a part in something bigger - powering progress for our customers, communities, and people.

We are recruiting for our Contracts Team at either the Contracts Specialist or Lead Contracts Specialist level, with responsibilities and experience calibrated to the level of appointment. Both roles report to the Contracts Team Lead (Functional) and the Contracts Team Manager (People Leadership).

The level of appointment, and the corresponding scope and leadership expectations, will reflect the successful candidate's experience. Supporting the Contracts Team Lead, you will take primary responsibility for preparing, reviewing, and negotiating contracts for the sale and purchase of petroleum products and crude oil, as well as managing all associated contract paperwork and working with relevant stakeholders to ensure contractual performance complies with the terms and conditions of each individual trade.

Key Responsibilities:

- Prepare, review, and negotiate contract documentation (including supplementary documents) for the sale and purchase of crude and petroleum products.

- Identify and escalate any legal, commercial, and operational concerns and opportunities to appropriate internal subject matter experts, and work with relevant stakeholders on identifying and adopting an appropriate resolution to minimise Ampol's legal and commercial risk.

- Continually review and improve Ampol processes and procedures in relation to establishing contracting positions and ensuring compliance with Ampol's policies.

- Develop a strong relationship with the trading team by making a positive connection, understanding the commercial drivers, understanding the commercial and legal risks, and knowing when escalation is required and when a view can be taken.

- Independently influence and contribute to best-practice ways of working across the business and contribute to providing training to team members and internal stakeholders.

Qualifications & Experience:

- A degree or diploma in a related discipline (for example, Law, Maritime Studies, or Supply Chain).

- Approximately 3–10 years' experience working in the contracts function of a crude oil and/or petroleum products trading business.

- Experience working in an unstructured and fast-moving environment handling complex and ad-hoc sale and purchase oil trading contracts.

- Strong understanding of contractual terms and conditions; high competency in contract analysis and negotiation, and in relevant computer systems; with sound knowledge of Incoterms, industry General Terms and Conditions, and the operations of crude oil and petroleum products trading and shipping.
