**Date**:4 Nov 2024

**Location**: Sydney, New South Wales, AU, 2000

**Company**:Healius

**Why You Will Be Excited About This Role**

At Healius, we all have one thing in common, we are passionate about making a difference to the health of Australians.
And right now, it’s a pretty exciting time to join us, as we transform into a stronger, more agile organisation focused on creating smarter ways of working and the continuous development of making Healius a great place to work.

**About Us**

Healius employs 10,000+ passionate people, with an expansive network of over 100 medical laboratories and 2000 patient collection centres operating across metropolitan, regional and remote Australia.

We provide 1 in every 3 pathology services in Australia, extending from exclusively servicing some of Australia’s largest and most complex private and public hospitals, to small Indigenous Australian communities.

This means that you will be working with purpose whilst being a part of a business big enough to offer interstate mobility, job security and opportunities to fulfill your career ambitions.

**What You Will Be Doing**

This opportunity for a Procurement Category Manager to join our team is available due to an internal movement. You will be joining a highly motivated team and be reporting to the GM Procurement.

Joining at an exciting time of transformation in the business, as Procurement Category Manager, you will be at the forefront of the ‘new procurement’.

You will be actively owning your own projects and categories with a strong focus on demand management and deep operational involvement. You will assist the business in the development, deployment and management of procurement strategies to deliver sustained value and competitive advantage to business units and the Pathology Division.

**Your key responsibilities will include**:

- Develop, implement and manage category plans in area of responsibility.
- Identify and deliver material benefits opportunities on both the supply side (including source to contract strategies, RFx development, supplier negotiations, contract management) and the demand side (including optimisation of product specifications, usage reduction, process and labour efficiencies). These will be recognised by the business and finance team and contribute to the Group’s strategic objectives and performance targets.
- Understand clinical and business requirements. Provide commercial and market insights
- Assist the GM Procurement with the development, implementation and management of enterprise-wide strategies for best-in-class procurement
- Plan and lead supplier engagements (e.g. as part of tender process of contract management) and key stakeholder meetings (e.g. to capture business requirements or “sell process changes into the business”).
- Ensure appropriate reporting is in place for the purposes of tracking benefits and project status (for area of responsibility).
- Provide mentoring and on-the-job training for business analysts and procurement specialists (as agreed with GM Procurement)

As we optimise to a future-ready way of working, there's an exciting shift happening at Healius. We are transforming into a stronger, more agile organisation. This presents a unique opportunity for a Procurement Category Manager to have a significant impact in an opportunity rich environment.

You'll have the chance to help shape the future of procurement at Healius, including meaningful benefits delivery, processes optimisation, efficiency improvements, and innovations.

**What Type of Person Will Be Successful**

If you are someone who embraces innovation, there is a significant opportunity for learning and growth as well as to make a real impact, while we undergo transformative change.

Led by a progressive manager, you will have access to fast-tracked upskilling and mentoring by industry experienced senior team members. You will have exposure to operational benefits levers, which are rarely employed by “traditional” procurement professionals.

**These are the type of attributes & skills you would possess**:

- You are a results-focused individual with a willingness to learn and grow. You are curious and get excited about creating and leading change that ultimately impacts the wider business strategy.
- Tertiary qualifications in commerce, economics or business
- At least 5 years proven procurement or strategic sourcing experience, ideally in a clinical environment
- Evidence of previous successful experience in identifying business improvement opportunities, running tender processes, conducting supplier negotiations, managing contracts, executing sophisticated spend and market analysis, and managing stakeholder relationships
- Deep understanding of the "traditional" procurement process on the supply side (e.g. market engagement, RFx, contract management)
- Previous experience in delivering demand side (operational) levers is highly regarded
- Keen interest in healthcare, technolog
