**The Role**
Materiel Procurement Branch (MPB) as part of Commercial Division, within Defence’s Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG), is looking for talented commercial, contracting and procurement managers who can drive innovative commercial outcomes across a wide range of major Australian Defence Force (ADF) capability acquisition and sustainment projects whilst delivering and maintaining sovereign Australian Industry Capability (AIC). Nowhere else in Government or the private sector will you get the opportunity to be involved in the diversity of complex commercial, contracting and procurement activities that are undertaken by Defence.

The role is responsible for the provision of commercial, contracting and procurement advice and support into commercial strategies, development of Approach to Market documentation, conduct of procurement including evaluation, negotiation and probity support as well as commercial support in relation to contract management issues and risks. You will be responsible for the coordination and management of specialist advice including legal, financial and AIC.

This role is eligible for an additional remuneration benefit known in Defence as a Building Defence Capability Payment (BDCP). This enables Defence to provide a premium, in addition to the base salary otherwise payable under the Defence Enterprise Collective Agreement (DECA), for positions in occupational disciplines/classifications that are critical to Defence capability. For further information, please contact the contact officer.

**About our Team**
MPB, as part of Commercial Division, delivers commercial expertise and solutions for procurement and contracting across the procurement life cycle to help Defence meet its objectives, maximise value for money outcomes and meet legislative and mandatory policy requirements.

As a branch of high performing individuals, teams work closely together to provide sound and timely advice to support both simple and complex procurement projects. Team members are motivated and positive in their approach to work, and have a variety of backgrounds, qualifications and experience. Our inclusive culture echoes Defence values - service, courage, respect, integrity and excellence.

If you have the willingness to learn, then we can teach you the technical skills you will need to make one of these jobs your own. Skills and attributes that we think lend themselves to making great commercial advisors include problem solving, attention to detail, and strong analytical skills. We love self-starters who use their initiative without waiting to be directed. Our people take pride in their flexibility and drive to be responsive to changing workplace objectives, pressures and priorities.
