2 weeks ago

Melbourne, Australia SHK Asia Pacific Full time

**ASX-listed industry leader with multinational footprint**:

- **Newly created group-level role**:

- **Build and lead a new strategic procurement function**

**About the organisation**
Our client is a well-established importer, wholesaler and retailer with a proud history of Australian operations stretching back more than fifty years. With high levels of brand recognition across more than 1000 locations, they are the leaders in their field with a business model that is resilient, diversified, and growth oriented. As the post-pandemic period brings a renewed focus on the organisation’s long term strategic objectives, and in the context of a broader program of organisational change, the opportunity has been identified to bring in a senior procurement leader to create and lead a new, group-level procurement function.

**About the role**
The Group Head of Procurement will be responsible for designing, building and leading a new group-level procurement function to sit across all of the organisation’s business units. Reporting directly to C-level and partnering with divisional leaders across the organisation, the Group Head of Procurement will build the case for change, leading procurement activities across the procurement lifecycle. This includes supplier negotiations, category management strategies for direct and indirect spend, and setting up a program of regular audit and review of supplier performance and compliance. As a greenfield role, the Group Head of Procurement will create and then realise the vision for a world-class procurement function.

**About you**
You are a senior procurement leader with extensive experience in the creation and leadership of group-level procurement functions, preferably in a retail, transport or logistics environment. Strategically minded with the ability to provide strong hands on operational leadership when required, you have the organisational nous and credibility needed to drive change and innovation across a complex, fast-moving and traditionally decentralised organisation. You have exceptional negotiation and analytical skills, and your natural leadership ability allows you to build and lead high performing and highly engaged teams. Entrepreneurial and solutions-oriented, you are energised by the opportunity to create an entirely new procurement function within a well established, well known organisation.
