Perth, Western Australia Perth Airport Pty Full time

As Perth Airport Pty continues to grow and expand, we are seeking an experienced Senior Category Manager to join our Projects Team.

The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the entire procurement lifecycle, from sourcing strategies to managing the pre-contracts award process. This includes utilising market insights to gain a commercial advantage and challenging existing processes to find better solutions.

An initial key responsibility of this role is to assess the procurement function within the Projects Team and identify and recommend procurement contracting efficiencies. This involves engaging stakeholders directly to ensure alignment with the Procurement Policy and establishing both strategic and governance processes.

This role requires developing alternative contractors and supply solutions to mitigate risks and ensure supply continuity. The focus is on achieving sustainable value for money outcomes, and may involve appointing a direct report (Category Manager) if required. Additionally, the successful candidate will act as the Subject Matter Expert for the TechOne Contracting System.

The Senior Category Manager will also support the Projects Team for post-award contract management, including performance reviews, negotiating variations, and ensuring alignment with category strategy objectives. This involves collaborating with stakeholders to effectively mitigate risks and ensure the continuity of supply, promoting integration with critical contractors to maximise the value of commercial relationships for both the company and the contractor.

We are looking for a highly skilled and enthusiastic individual who possesses exceptional sourcing and contracting skills, with proven experience in market research, cost analysis, and the development of procurement plans and sourcing strategies. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated negotiation skills and experience in formalising negotiated outcomes into contracts.

Key requirements for this role include:

  • A Bachelor of Business or Commerce (or similar) with a major in Logistics and Supply Chain, or equivalent experience;
  • Experience with construction contracts is highly desired;
  • Demonstrated negotiation skills and experience in formalising negotiated outcomes into contracts;
  • Proven experience in post-award contract management, including performance and contract management;
  • A strong background in category management, sourcing, and contracts within an infrastructure asset operations or maintenance environment;
  • Confidence in interacting with and influencing senior stakeholders and contractor representatives;
  • Able to identify inefficiencies, consider alternatives, and challenge the status quo;
  • Highly proficient in using Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
