In this role, you will strengthen procurement capability, enhance governance, and build sustainable supplier partnerships that support long-term organisational outcomes—balancing commercial rigour with social purpose in a complex NFP environment.

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead and execute category and sourcing strategies across diverse indirect spend portfolios

  • Oversee contract management, governance, and adherence to procurement policies
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to align sourcing decisions with organisational priorities
  • Mentor and develop a high-performing procurement team, embedding best practice and continuous improvement
  • Manage category budgets, pipelines, and procurement project delivery

About You

You are a commercially astute procurement leader with strong negotiation capability and a proven ability to build strategic, value-driven supplier partnerships.

Key capabilities:

  • Relevant tertiary qualification in Business, Commerce, Supply Chain or Procurement
  • 8-10 years experience in strategic sourcing and procurement, ideally across complex indirect categories
  • Proven leadership experience managing and developing high-performing teams
  • Strong track record delivering commercial value, savings, and supplier innovation
  • Deep expertise in end-to-end procurement, contract management, and vendor governance
  • Advanced analytical capability (TCO, ROI, cost modelling)
  • Exceptional stakeholder engagement with the ability to influence at executive level

Why work for us?

  • Eligible employees can access NFP salary packaging for living expenses ($15,900 tax free for rent, mortgage, school fees etc) plus meals and entertainment benefits ($2,650 tax free)
  • Hybrid working arrangement minimum 2 days in office
  • Paid parental leave - 12 weeks
  • Up to 8 weeks leave per year through our purchase leave scheme
  • Up to 5 days paid leave per year to 'volunteer' in a TSA program or activity
  • Health insurance, home energy and home office supplies discounts
