- Join a growing Commonwealth agency at an early stage, with a genuine opportunity to help shape its culture, systems and processes

- Providing service and procurement guidance to line areas across the agency
- Acting as a trusted advisor to internal stakeholders on procurement approaches and processes
- Supporting the design and establishment of procurement systems and processes for a growing agency
- Contributing to broader corporate activities as the agency continues to scale up
The Ideal Person
You’re likely to bring APS6 or EL1 level experience in procurement. You’re comfortable acting as a trusted advisor to stakeholders and happy to pitch in wherever the agency needs it. You will bring:
- Experience providing procurement guidance or advice within a corporate function
- A customer-focused approach and confidence acting as a trusted advisor to internal stakeholders
- The ability to work autonomously while helping establish new systems and processes
Additionally, it would be beneficial if you have:
