Your new company

Are you ready to join a growing, high-performing procurement team with a fresh leadership vision and a strong focus on development, autonomy, and strategic impact?

A federal government organisation is expanding its Central Procurement Team under new leadership, offering a rare opportunity for APS6-level professionals to step into a dynamic role with real influence and visibility across the business.

Why this role stands out

  • Strategic procurement leadership
  • Complex tenders & commercial negotiations
  • Flexible, inclusive team culture

Your new role

As a Corporate Procurement Officer, you'll be the go-to advisor, managing complex procurements and contract negotiations. You'll work closely with Directors and Business Partners to forecast spending, shape procurement strategies, and deliver high-value outcomes. You'll have a creative licence (within CPRs and PGPA Act) to explore strategic sourcing opportunities and provide expert advice on non-standard panel procurements.

Key responsibilities include

  • Leading complex tenders (RFQs, RFTs, RFIs, RFPs)
  • Developing evaluation plans and managing procurement lifecycles
  • Advising on strategic procurement and contract management
  • Partnering with divisional leaders to forecast and plan future procurements
  • Managing complex limited tenders and non-standard panel arrangements
  • Providing commercial advice and financial negotiation expertise

What you'll bring

  • Strong experience in large, complex procurement (beyond panel management)
  • Commercial acumen and negotiation skills
  • Ability to work autonomously and strategically within a matrix structure
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills

What you'll get in return

  • A supportive, inclusive team culture
  • Flexible working arrangements after probation
  • Strategic oversight and autonomy in your portfolio
  • Career development under experienced leadership
