The role

As the Procurement & Category Manager - Technology & Digital (EL1), you will lead the strategic management of Technology & Digital categories within your portfolio.

You will also lead a team and contribute to procurement capability uplift across the organisation.

You will be responsible for:

- Leading end-to-end ICT, infrastructure and technology-related category strategies, including demand planning, sourcing, contracting, supplier management, total cost of ownership and benefits realisation.
- Delivering complex, high-value and high-risk ICT and infrastructure procurements while ensuring compliance with Commonwealth procurement legislation, policy and governance requirements.
- Providing strategic procurement and commercial advice across the full procurement lifecycle.
- Developing category roadmaps informed by market intelligence, spend analytics and emerging technology trends.

You will have a strong understanding of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules (CPRs), the PGPA Act and broader government procurement frameworks, with demonstrated experience delivering complex and strategic procurements within the Commonwealth Government environment.

You will possess significant experience leading ICT procurement, IT infrastructure procurement and technology-related procurement activities, including sourcing, contract negotiation, supplier management and commercial risk management. This role requires demonstrated experience delivering procurement outcomes within these domains, rather than general procurement experience alone.
