Manager, Contract Value Protection, Extended Enterprise

Connect to your Industry

Deloitte's leading Contract Value Protection (CVP) team helps clients maximise revenue, reduce cost, mitigate risks, and strengthen relationships across their supply chain. The CVP team conducts detailed inspections of our client’s third parties to validate whether they are delivering in accordance with the terms and conditions of their contracts. Our purpose is to give our clients confidence—through fact-based analysis and insight—that their third-party relationships are contractual, ethical, and well-governed, in order to enable responsible and sustainable growth and operations. Our work is mainly focused on validating third party costs and/or revenue sharing to ensure our clients have not leaked value that could otherwise be invested in growing their business; however, inspections can also cover other risk domains, such as bribery and corruption, resilience and business continuity, contract management, etc.

Driven by regulatory, consumer, and economic pressures, our clients are increasingly concerned about the value they get (and risks the face) from their third-party relationships. Our CVP team specialises in ensuring our clients’ third parties meet their contractual obligations, mitigate third-party risks across various risk domains throughout their supplier ecosystem, and minimise value leakage. Our expertise spans all industries and procurement categories/ relationship types (e.g. construction and engineering, outsourced service providers, creative and media buying, repairs and maintenance, manufacturing, licensee, franchising, distribution, etc.), and across a diverse set of industry sectors (Energy, Pharma, Consumer goods, Technology, Sport, Infrastructure, etc.)

We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further details as you progress through the recruitment process, or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
