Director - Sourcing, Advice and Supply
Full-time Permanent
Details: Procurement ACT is seeking a high-performing Director (SOG B) to join the Sourcing, Advice and Supply (SAS) team. Reporting to the Senior Director of SAS, the Director role has responsibility for undertaking a job-list of complex procurement projects and managing several staff. We are seeking a seasoned procurement professional with a strong customer-centric approach to their practice. You will be familiar with procurement processes and enjoy working in partnership with others to deliver procurement processes from documentation development through to contract execution.
The successful candidate will have a high degree of emotional intelligence, being able to adjust your communication style for different audiences, engendering trust in your leadership with both clients and team members. In addition to procurement project skills, we are looking to develop Branch skills across a range of general areas, such as strategic and analytical thinking, leadership and staff development, project management, communication, negotiation, written and representation skills.
We are continually updating and improving our systems, knowledge and processes, and want staff who can adapt and lead others in a dynamic environment. You will be self-motivated, responsive and show initiative, and have sound judgement, professional resilience and personal drive. You can think on your feet and work effectively under pressure and within time deadlines to deliver high-quality advice, documentation and outcomes that align with strategic business and the Territory's procurement goals.
The SAS team carries a significant business-as-usual workload and team members must be able to effectively manage multiple procurements (or procurement activities) concurrently. Consequently, at the SOG B level, it is important that you can identify and prioritise issues and implement practical solutions, including knowing when to escalate issues.
We are looking for people with strong influencing, negotiation and engagement skills, as well as experience in building and using relationships and networks with internal and external stakeholders. You will form part of the management team, helping to model desired behaviours, support, lead, motivate and develop staff, and address staff performance matters early, should they arise.
