Melbourne, Australia Proximity Full time

**Description**:
**The position**

This is a key position working within the commercial management function of a Federal Government Department, to assist in a large-scale National project as well as local government clients in Victoria.

You will be working to assist in the establishment of the section’s functions, specially in the area of evaluation of current state, through to the commercial management of vendors, predominantly within the ICT sector. In this role you will either be a leader, or a key member of a project team, in providing procurement advice and development of vendor governance frameworks, providing specialist process and stakeholder management and assist in the development of procurement related artefacts, as required. As a procurement professional, you will assist with complex projects and other key tasks through the evolution of the procurement life cycle and potentially also keep vendors accountable to set deliverables through robust contract and vendor relationship management.

This position requires a sound technical understanding within the broad ICT sector, where you will hold a key position in ensuring that you build sufficient rapport with key stakeholders and deliverables are met to ensure the project meets key milestones, on time.

You will use your strong interpersonal skills and have the ability to be able to engage with a variety of stakeholders. It is important that you are happy to assist and share your knowledge and expertise across Proximity and more broadly across the Government clients.
