Key responsibilities include

You will bring recent, practical procurement and contract management experience, and a proactive approach.

You will need to demonstrate:

- Strong procurement and contract management experience with the ability to operate autonomously
- Demonstrated experience managing complex tender processes, including evaluations, moderation workshops and supplier engagement activities
- Sound understanding of procurement governance, probity, delegations, value-for-money principles and audit-ready recordkeeping
- Strong contract drafting, negotiation and commercial risk assessment capability
- The ability to challenge and influence stakeholders constructively when governance, commercial or contractual risks arise
- Experience developing practical commercial solutions that balance funding obligations, governance requirements and operational needs
- Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication and relationship management skills
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and competing deadlines

Experience within government-funded, healthcare or not-for-profit environments will be highly regarded but is not essential.
