Strategic Procurement Leader - Driving Transformation
Transport for NSW is embarking on a bold procurement transformation program to establish a dedicated, centralized procurement branch within our Finance, Technology & Commercial Division.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of procurement in NSW. As Director Direct Procurement & Minor Construction, you will lead a high-performing team through this transformation, driving innovation, commercial excellence, and improved outcomes across the entire procurement lifecycle.
We're looking for a self-motivated, independent leader who thrives on a challenge. Someone who brings energy and determination to complex environments and is excited by the opportunity to build, influence, and lead at scale.
In this pivotal role, you will provide strategic direction and centralised oversight of all procurement activities, policies, and processes related to minor construction and direct procurement.
Your leadership will directly contribute to delivering greater public value, strengthening governance, and achieving the outcomes that matter most to the people and communities of NSW.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead the end-to-end procurement of Transport's minor construction and direct procurement goods and services — from material sourcing to high-value commercial contracts — ensuring value for money and compliance with legislative and policy frameworks.
* Develop and execute advanced sourcing strategies, category management frameworks, and supplier engagement plans that drive procurement quality, productivity, and performance.
* Build strong, collaborative partnerships across Divisions and Branches to align procurement with long-term organisational goals, budgets, and operational needs.
Benefits:
Our workforce is as diverse as the community we serve. We offer a wide range of employee benefits, like our award-winning flexible and hybrid work options.
This role is hybrid-friendly, meaning you can mix in-person days at your team's home base location with remote days.
Aboriginal people and people living with disability are supported throughout the recruitment process and at work.
