Your responsibilities will include:

• Partner with Development, Design and Construction teams to identify and deliver strategic procurement initiatives that optimise value and project outcomes.

Your point of difference

You bring proven experience in procurement, category management, strategic sourcing or supply chain leadership within a large, complex organisation. Exposure to the property, development, construction or infrastructure sectors will be highly regarded, along with a demonstrated track record of delivering commercial value, influencing change and driving continuous improvement through strategic procurement initiatives.

A strategic and commercially minded professional, you combine strong stakeholder engagement, negotiation and influencing skills with the ability to build trusted partnerships across diverse business groups. You are highly analytical, able to translate data and market intelligence into actionable insights that support better decision-making and long-term value creation.

You'll bring a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach, complemented by strong communication skills, sound commercial judgement and the ability to deliver outcomes through collaboration rather than authority.
