  • Engaging with Indigenous Businesses
  • Travel Opportunities Throughout WA

Kaya Waiba Ngaji Nyinda Barndi

Help improve outcomes for Aboriginal businesses across WA.

Finance understands and values diversity and inclusion in our workplace, and we are proactively seeking to further diversify our workforce.

We have determined that Aboriginality is a requirement for this role. As such only people who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander will be considered.

About The Role
There are many opportunities for Aboriginal businesses to get involved and secure contracts throughout WA. We build and maintain buildings like schools, hospitals, and museums. We also buy a range of good and services for government departments, like security, health supplies, and cleaning services.


This Aboriginal Business Engagement Manager role will help Aboriginal businesses across WA get involved in contract work for the WA public sector.

We know it can be challenging for any business to know these opportunities exist and then complicated trying to figure out how to get involved.

This is where you'll come in.

We want someone to connect with relevant Aboriginal businesses across the State, build relationships with them, and provide opportunities for them to deliver contracts for the Department of Finance.


This means doing background work to understand what we need and where, to identify relevant businesses across WA, and to increase their awareness of the opportunities.

Once they're interested, you'll support them with the contract process.

You will be working to support best practice engagement with local and Aboriginal communities on WA government projects.

Where You Will Work
Most of the time you will be based out of our Djookanup office in Osborne Park. However, we also have premises in the CBD and numerous regional locations across WA.

So, there will be travel opportunities throughout WA that will involve driving or flying in a commercial airplane (on occasions you may need to drive a 4WD or fly in a light aircraft).


About You
We're looking for people with transferable skills. So, it's ok if you don't know about the tender process, procurement, or contracts. The right person will receive training in this space if it's needed.

We're looking for someone who:
- is a motivated and organised people person
- can engage respectfully with Aboriginal people across all parts of WA
- can deliver government administration requirements like writing reports.

The right person can foster long-term relationships and promote the benefits of getting involved with WA public sector works. The right person has (or can build) great networks and an engaging manner.


Perhaps most importantly, the right person is passionate and committed about advocating for local and Aboriginal business interests and keen to help more businesses secure government contracts, and so support WA Government's Aboriginal Procurement Policy.

This role suits someone seeking full-time work. However, part-time will be considered for the right person.

Support
To find the best person for this job, we may use a variety of assessment methods. We're focused on providing you the best opportunities to demonstrate your suitability.

Our Values


Our values of Growth, Clarity, Collaboration and Empathy, drive our behaviour at work and guide the way we communicate, interact, develop and work together as we strive to become the best place to work.

Section 50D of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 applies to this position.
