About Us

INIT is a global leader in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), delivering integrated software, hardware and services that make public transport smarter, safer and more connected.

As we continue to grow in Australia, we're looking for a Commercial Specialist to join our Sydney team and support the delivery of the Opal Next Generation (ONG) program for Transport for NSW.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone early in their commercial career who wants to learn from an experienced Contracts Manager, gain exposure to major projects, and develop into a commercial professional.

About the role

Working alongside our Contracts Manager, you'll help manage the commercial and contractual aspects of complex customer and supplier agreements while supporting procurement activities, commercial governance, compliance and financial reporting across major projects.

Rather than sitting behind a desk reviewing contracts all day, you'll work with project managers, engineers, procurement and leadership to ensure commercial obligations are understood, implemented and delivered throughout the project lifecycle.

You'll gain hands‑on experience across contracts, procurement, governance, compliance, reporting and commercial operations, with genuine mentoring and development as you grow.

What you'll be doing

- Support the day‑to‑day commercial management of customer and supplier contracts.
- Help translate contractual obligations into practical actions for project teams.
- Monitor contractual compliance, reporting obligations and project deliverables.
- Assist with procurement activities including supplier engagement and documentation.
- Support commercial reporting, presentations and governance activities.




- Prepare commercial reports, financial summaries, presentations and supporting documentation for senior leaders, helping provide insight into project performance, contractual obligations and commercial outcomes.
- Work with project teams to identify commercial risks and practical solutions.
- Help establish and improve commercial and procurement processes as INIT Australia continues to grow.
- Build solid relationships across engineering, project delivery, finance, procurement and leadership teams.
- Collaborate with our global colleagues, including occasional after‑hours meetings with Germany.

About you

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, has excellent attention to detail and wants to build a long‑term career in commercial management.

- Up to five years' experience in contracts administration, commercial, procurement, legal or project support.
- Graduates with strong commercial aptitude are encouraged to apply.
- Experience within infrastructure, engineering, technology, construction or professional services is advantageous.
- Excellent written communication and documentation skills.
- Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
- Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
- Confidence working with a range of stakeholders.




- A proactive attitude and willingness to learn.
- Experience preparing financial reports, commercial reports or management reporting, with solid analytical skills and attention to detail.
- Confident working with Excel to analyse data and present meaningful information to stakeholders.
- Able to present complex commercial or financial information in a clear, accurate and professional manner.

Why join INIT?

This is more than just another commercial role.

You'll be joining a supportive team where you'll work directly alongside an experienced Contracts Manager who is committed to mentoring and developing your commercial capability.

We offer:

- Work on one of Australia's largest and most significant public transport technology programs.
- Genuine mentoring and career development.
- Hybrid working and flexible work arrangements.
- Additional leave benefits.
- A collaborative local team backed by a global organisation.
- Opportunities to work with international colleagues and build a long‑term career.

At INIT Australia, we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

If you require adjustments during the recruitment process, we're happy to support you.

If you're looking for a role where you can learn, grow and make a genuine impact on nationally significant projects, we'd love to hear from you.
