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.
• Early engagement with business areas so procurement advice is timely, useful and outcome focused.
• Undertaking spend analysis, probity reporting and market engagement that improve value-for-money.
• Strong contract governance, supplier performance management and risk-based decision-making.
• Practical training, guidance, and tools that build organisational procurement capability.
• Continuous improvement in all that the City does, moving from business need to contract award and contracted delivery.
• Clear, audience-focused reporting, insights and recommendations 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.
