When you join Treasury, you join an organisation that is a whole-of-government financial and economic advisor. Treasury is a critical component of the government and provides advice that informs a wide range of financial, economic and policy driven work for the state of NSW.

**Enrich your career with the NSW Treasury**

- Mastering the arts of negotiation & conflict resolution

You will join our NSW Procurement Group and will be working within the Commercial Division. Read more about your future Group and Division.

The Category Specialist role will provide you with the opportunity to expand your network as you will have the chance to work with multiple teams, agencies, external stakeholders, and organisations to help shape your career.

**Investing in you**

The team you will join is made up of a diverse and welcoming group of people. We understand what starting a new job is like, and to ensure you have the most positive experience we will ‘Buddy’ you up with a team member to help settle you in.

Just some of the benefits of working with Treasury include:

- Flexible hybrid working at our office at 52 Martin Place, Sydney with standard working hours 35 hours per week.
- Accrue quarterly flex time for any hours worked over the standard hours, and enjoy true work life balance
- A healthy workplace, both mentally and physically. Our **Wellbeing at Treasury **curriculum offers regular seminars. From opportunities to connect with colleagues to boost social connection, to seminars on creating better financial health and physical and psychological wellbeing.
- A range of leave to support you with your needs out of work including generous paid parental leave, carers leave and more.

Read more about our benefits.

**Your day as a Category Specialist**

Your typical day-to-day work includes partnering with stakeholders in a category/range of categories to plan, develop, source and manage procurement arrangements to deliver value for money and effectively meet business outcomes and government directions. This role liaises extensively with other areas within Treasury, with NSW government agencies and equivalents in other jurisdictions across Australia, and with external stakeholders.

**Achieve success as Category Specialist**

In this integral role there are a few things we would like for you to have to best support yourself and add value to the people of NSW.

You will be successful in this role if you are:

- **Data Driven - **Your strong attention to detail and advanced numerical and excel skills enable you to derive information from data/contracts/market intelligence and present compelling insights in different forms such as graphs, charts, reports and presentations with a high level of accuracy.
- **Collaborator - **Your strong communication skills and ability to develop strong networks and relationships enable you to partner with a wider range of internal and external stakeholders to find win-win solutions.
