Overview of the Role:
The Business Contract Manager will assist Katalis in identifying, managing communication with, and brokering partnerships between businesses in Indonesia and TVET providers in Australia. The role will take lead responsibility for gauging interest from Australian TVET providers to partner with Indonesian businesses, especially on the development of customised and localised course content for their Indonesian customers. The Business Contract Manager will broker the identified partnerships that will become legally binding business contracts and oversee the implementation of the agreed contracts.

About the Program:
The Governments of Indonesia and Australia have entered into the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA), creating a framework to unlock the vast potential of the bilateral economic relationship. To support this ambition, the IA-CEPA includes a new program – Katalis. Katalis’s goal is to maximise the benefits of IA-CEPA, support trade and investment, improve market access, and promote inclusive economic growth in Indonesia. The primary objective is to ensure the efficient and effective implementation of IA-CEPA to increase two-way trade and investment that is broad-based and inclusive.

Through a “Collaborative Hub”, Katalis will leverage existing Australian investments in Indonesia by working in partnership with other DFAT Programs, the whole government partners such as Austrade, and other sectoral partners, to deliver new activities.

Katalis combines sound trade and development practice by supporting Indonesia to maximise the benefits of IA-CEPA, addressing regulatory challenges (through technical assistance), while resourcing innovative industry engagement in sectors of mutual interest, such as agriculture; and by investing in standards, skills, and private sector development in new areas (such as digital services and advanced manufacturing).
