Canberra, Australia ACT Government Full time

Details

: Procurement ACT is seeking a high-performing Senior Director (SOG A) to lead the Contracts and Category Management Team (CCMT). Reporting to the Executive Branch Manager, Goods and Services (G&S), the Senior Director will be required to establish and maintain whole of government arrangements through effective performance-based contract management (as both owners and advisors); and for effectively contributing to the planning and transitioning of the G&S Branch and managing amendments under the Procurement Reform Program.

The CCMT is currently a team of 9 staff managing 20 whole of government arrangements across broad category areas, namely, the Energy portfolio, Workforce Services portfolio and the Travel, Finance and Stand-alone contracts portfolio.

A key aspect of the role is overseeing the program management of the suite of arrangements to ensure that market testing is well planned and executed ahead of contract expiration.

In line with the overarching intent to transition G&S from a compliance based, transactional model to a strategic procurement approach, the Senior Director will also be required to build staff knowledge and skills in strategic, performance-based contract management (including, for example, preparation of performance-based approach to market and evaluation documentation, contract management plans, then actively contract manage resultant arrangements). Accordingly, the successful applicant will have demonstrated experience in these areas, including staff capability building. You are a strong leader with relevant senior management experience in performance-based contract management and/or strategic procurement. You are agile and responsive, and able to identify / prioritise issues and implement solutions based on your strong understanding of relevant legislation, policies and client needs.

A key part of the role includes transitioning the CCMT and the Branch under the Procurement Reform Program and enhancing the services relating to strategic and proactive establishment, use and management of whole of government arrangements, including supplier and buyer feedback mechanisms. Further information on the Program is available at

Eligibility/Other Requirements: Relevant tertiary qualifications would be an advantage, including a Certificate VI Advanced Diploma of Government (Procurement & Contracting); or the ability to obtain certification based on prior experience; or tertiary qualifications for example in law, commerce, business administration or the equivalent or evidence of study.

Notes: A Merit Pool will be established from this selection process and will be used to fill vacancies over the next 12 months. This position is based in a workplace designed for activity-based working (ABW). Under ABW arrangements, officers will not have a designated workstation/desk. Selection may be based on application and referee reports only.
