* Represent TfNSW in forums and committees, providing leadership and oversight for governance-related initiatives.
* Build, grow, and lead a team of procurement professionals — striking a balance between regulatory compliance and the delivery of efficient, agile, and user-friendly procurement processes.
* Develop and oversee an assurance testing program to monitor compliance, performance, and risk management across the full procurement lifecycle
