Be the connector between commercial strategy and operational delivery.
We’re on the lookout for a capable and hands-on Procurement and Asset Specialist who’s just as comfortable negotiating multimillion-dollar contracts as they are organising the delivery and installation of clinical equipment.
This is a pivotal role that supports the success and growth of our national health network. Sitting within the Operations team and reporting to an Executive Leader, you’ll be responsible for leading enterprise-level procurement activities, managing supplier relationships, overseeing equipment procurement, and developing a robust asset register from the ground up.
You’ll be based at our modern head office in East Maitland, with the flexibility to work from home as needed.
What you'll be doing
In this broad and rewarding role, you’ll have the opportunity to:
Lead end-to-end procurement
* Design and implement procurement strategies, systems and policies that drive value and ensure compliance.
* Run competitive sourcing events including tenders and RFPs, and negotiate contracts to achieve the best commercial outcomes.
* Oversee contract lifecycles — from drafting and execution through to renewals and supplier performance monitoring.
Manage relationships & continuous improvement
* Build strong partnerships with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to ensure operational needs are met efficiently and effectively.
* Lead Quarterly Business Reviews with key suppliers to monitor KPIs, resolve issues and drive improvements.
* Identify innovation opportunities and stay on top of market trends and emerging suppliers.
Own asset and equipment management
* Manage the procurement, delivery and installation of clinical and non-clinical equipment across all sites.
* Establish and maintain a centralised asset register, ensuring data accuracy and visibility across the business.
* Develop and implement lifecycle plans for equipment, including servicing, maintenance and disposal strategies.
What you'll bring
We’re looking for someone with a mix of strategic thinking and practical know-how. You’ll bring:
* Proven experience in procurement, contract negotiation and supplier management.
* Strong commercial and analytical skills with a high attention to detail.
* The ability to flex between big-picture planning and rolling your sleeves up to get things done.
* Experience managing or developing an asset register across multiple locations.
* Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
* Tertiary qualifications in business, procurement or a related field
* Knowledge of the dental or health industry preferred
