Lead procurement, shape strategy and help build the
future of Wanneroo.
This is more than a procurement leadership role.
It is an
opportunity to shape how one of WA's fastest-growing local
governments partners with its customers, manages risk, delivers
value-for-money, and supports the services, infrastructure and
projects that matter.
Procurement and Contracts play a leading role in what we do.
When we build a new road – Procurement goes first.
When we deliver
a new leisure centre - Procurement goes first.
Even when we empty
your rubbish bins - Procurement went first.
When done well,
procurement is a strategic function that enables better decisions,
protects public value, and deliver public outcomes that withstand
scrutiny.
About the role
Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, this role will lead the
City's Contracts & Procurement Team and help maintain consistent
improvements.
This is a leadership opportunity for someone who can
balance probity with practicality, compliance with customer
service, and policy with partnership.
This role will influence how the City approaches strategic
procurement, contract governance, supplier relationships, and
continuous improvement.
Just as importantly, it will coach and
support already capable team, supportive frank, fearless and
practical advice that enables positive outcomes.
What you will lead
• A positive, capable and service-focused Contracts & Procurement
team.
• Strategic procurement planning that supports corporate priorities
and community outcomes into the future.

for leaders and stakeholders.
• High standards of probity, compliance, data integrity and public




sector accountability.
Who you are
You will be a trusted advisor, a practical problem-solver and a
people leader who knows how to bring others with you.
You will give
clear, honest advice, even when the answer leads to difficult
conversations.
You will listen first, understand the business need
and help stakeholders find practical and value-focused paths
forward.
You will thrive in this role if you are:
• A frank and fearless advisor who can provide clear,
professional, and evidence-based guidance.
• A solution-finder who brings options, not just obstacles.
• A collaborative partner who values early engagement and strong
relationships.
• A continuous learner who sees procurement and contract management
as disciplines that keep evolving.
• A calm and practical leader who can coach people, set
expectations and build confidence in the team.
You will also bring relevant qualifications or equivalent
experience, strong procurement and contract management expertise,
demonstrated leadership capability, sound judgement, excellent
communication skills, digital confidence and a strong understanding
of governance, risk, and public sector accountability.
