• Our staff have access to a range of meaningful benefits to support their physical and mental wellbeing, including 24/7 free counselling, free flu vaccinations, and discounted gym memberships.
• We also support staff with study assistance, paid parental leave (regardless of gender), volunteer, bereavement, gender affirmation, and family violence leave; and the opportunity for bonus annual leave.
• We support our staff to grow their careers through learning and development and foster an organizational culture where we reward and recognize innovation and values, not long hours.
• We are committed to building an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce that reflects the Australian community.
• We care for a conservation reserve, working with key partner organizations to protect threatened species and involve staff in conservation efforts.

What you will be doing

• Develop and implement supplier ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) assessment frameworks, driving accountability and impact in supplier selection and management.

What you will bring

• Demonstrated leadership experience in procurement, infrastructure, or operational risk management within a regulated environment (preferably Financial Services but not essential).
• Strategic mindset, with the capability of translating business objectives into operational and procurement strategies.
