Commercial Governance Advisor

The Opportunity

At APA, our purpose is to secure Australia’s energy future. We’re not doing it alone. We’re doing it with our customers and communities as Australia’s energy infrastructure partner, a role our unique experience and expertise positions us to play.

We now have an exciting opportunity available for a Commercial Governance Advisor to join our Commercial Governance team on a permanent full-time basis.

Reporting to the Manager, Commercial Governance, you will play a key role in turning commercial and regulatory requirements into practical ways of working. Combining analysis with strong stakeholder engagement, you’ll use data and insights to influence outcomes, strengthen governance and work collaboratively across the business to improve processes and support sound commercial decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

- Interpret regulatory and commercial requirements, assess their impact on APA’s business and translate them into practical actions, processes and documentation.

- Undertake transaction benchmarking and impact assessments, preparing clear analysis and supporting information for regulatory and commercial requirements.

- Develop and continuously improve governance processes, procedures, templates and tools, identifying gaps and finding practical solutions rather than simply following existing processes.

- Monitor commercial, contractual and regulatory obligations, working collaboratively with action owners to track progress, address issues and escalate material risks where required.

- Analyse commercial data and contract positions to identify trends and insights, develop reporting and dashboards, and support revenue forecasting, budgeting and corporate reporting.

- Maintain commercial systems and records, undertake data quality checks and provide day-to-day guidance to teams using governance processes, tools and systems.

Your Background

- Working experience in a commercial, governance or regulatory environment.

- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to work with structured data, identify what it is telling you and turn the findings into meaningful actions or improvements.

- An ability to interpret legislation, regulation or complex commercial information and translate it into clear, practical business requirements. Exposure to gas or energy regulation would be highly regarded.

- A curious and improvement-focused mindset, with examples of questioning existing ways of working and developing better processes, tools or solutions.

- Strong attention to detail and written communication skills, with confidence preparing accurate analysis, reports, documentation and supporting materials.

- A collaborative and accountable approach, comfortable working across different teams, managing priorities and taking ownership of work through to completion, with an openness to using AI and other digital tools to work more efficiently.
