Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. And we’re back (in a big way).

We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way.

- Consult with business and Group Procurement stakeholders to ensure that all tools, templates and frameworks are fit for purpose
- Manage the roll-out of new tools, templates and frameworks, including all necessary communications and change management activity
- Improve and promote core procurement processes, including driving user adoption and continuous process improvement
- Ensure that processes are fit for purpose and meet business need and assist business units to change their ways of working as necessary, as well as creating bespoke processes as required

- Continuously assess training needs across the VA Procurement and Purchasing Community
- Develop and maintain internal/external training courses including owning and managing the calendar of topics to spread best practices within Group Procurement
- Connect and build trusted relationships with business leaders across the organisation, with the objective of improving compliance with relevant policies and procedures
