Help Build Something New The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale is entering the next phase of maturity in procurement, contract governance and project delivery.

Following a review of our Project Management Framework, we are establishing a dedicated Contracts and Procurement function to strengthen commercial governance, improve organisational capability and implement a contemporary contract management framework across the organisation.

This is not a traditional procurement role.

While you will lead our established procurement team, your primary focus will be establishing and maturing our contract management framework, implementing the TechnologyOne Contract Management Module and building organisational capability in contract management.

If you enjoy creating frameworks, developing systems, solving complex commercial problems and helping organisations mature their governance practices, this could be the role for you.
