Senior Procurement Officer

Department of Parliamentary Services

  • Work-life balance and hybrid work
  • Ongoing, full-time role

About the Role

Reporting to the Manager, Procurement, you'll play a key role in driving high-quality, strategic procurement across the parliamentary departments. From providing trusted advice and managing complex sourcing activities, to building stakeholder capability and shaping procurement systems, you'll deliver outcomes that are transparent, efficient, and aligned with organisational priorities.

This isn't a repetitive, transactional role. You'll work across a diverse range of goods and services that reflect the unique operating environment of Parliament. Whether it's IT, HR, Buildings & Grounds, Security, Broadcast, Libraries or Catering, no two procurements are the same. You'll collaborate with professionals from a broad mix of backgrounds, giving you the chance to connect with, learn from, and relate to colleagues with varied perspectives and experiences.

What makes this role interesting and rewarding?

  • Ownership of end-to-end procurement and sourcing
  • The opportunity to shape procurement that delivers real value
  • A relationship-driven role where trust and collaboration are central to your work
  • Regular interaction with diverse senior stakeholders to build your communication and engagement skills
  • Scope to innovate and drive improvements

What does success look like in this role?

Our ideal candidate brings more than just technical procurement skills — they also demonstrate sound judgment, professionalism, and the ability to navigate a unique and dynamic environment.

To thrive in this role, you'll:

  • Exercise strong professional judgment, especially in complex situations
  • Adapt confidently to the distinctive and fast-paced parliamentary setting
  • Maintain an apolitical and impartial approach in all your work
  • Uphold and model the core Parliamentary values: integrity, accountability, respect, and excellence
  • Understand and apply the fundamental principles of procurement, including value for money, transparency, and fairness
  • Be someone stakeholders trust for credible, thoughtful, and ethical procurement advice

About You

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

  • Proven experience in procurement that ensures best value for money, with the ability to manage complex contracts and maintain probity throughout the process
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to provide expert procurement and contract management advice to stakeholders
  • Excellent written communication skills, with experience preparing complex procurement and technical documents
  • Strong research, analytical, and conceptual skills, along with proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word (Power BI experience is a plus)
  • Confidence in negotiations, with the ability to influence others using diplomacy, tact, and discretion

We offer flexible work with access to the iconic heritage listed Parliament House building and collaborate with the team in a hybrid working capacity.

We understand that your health and wellbeing are integral to your success and have a range of benefits to ensure your physical and mental health are supported. These include access to health and wellbeing initiatives

Your professional development is important to us. That's why we have a dedicated learning and development framework, along with development programs and targeted in-house training to support your professional growth.

When you excel at your work and initiate innovative solutions or go above and beyond to demonstrate our values, you will be recognised for your efforts through our reward and recognition program.
