Full Job Description

There's real craft in procurement — in reading a supplier landscape clearly, structuring a commercial position with precision, and knowing when to push and when to align. As a Category Manager at PwC, you'll bring your sourcing expertise and commercial acumen to support the execution of consulting, professional services and technology procurement activities, based in Sydney / Gadigal. You'll work closely with stakeholders across finance, legal, risk and technology teams, helping drive compliant, commercially sound outcomes across a diverse supplier portfolio.

Why PwC?

At PwC Australia, your skills meet purpose. We tackle big challenges across industries like finance, technology, energy, and health giving you the chance to make a real impact. Here, your growth is our priority. You’ll work with leading teams, explore new technologies, and unlock your full potential.

Join a global community of more than 370,000 people who value bold ideas, collaboration, and lasting change. Together, we’re building trust and shaping the future.

What you’ll do:

Sourcing and Procurement Execution

Execute end-to-end sourcing activities including RFI, RFQ and RFP preparation, supplier engagement, evaluation support, negotiation preparation, award documentation and implementation tracking.

Prepare commercial comparisons, pricing summaries, supplier analysis, evaluation materials and recommendation packs.

Support procurement across consulting, advisory, legal, HR services, specialist contractors, software, SaaS and IT services.

Maintain sourcing records, approval documentation and reporting in line with procurement governance requirements.

Consulting and Professional Services Procurement

Support procurement across consulting and professional services engagements, reviewing statements of work, rate cards, role mix, deliverables, milestones, assumptions and commercial terms.

Identify opportunities for rate benchmarking, supplier consolidation, demand management and improved statement of work governance.

Contribute to improved buying discipline across consulting and specialist services spend.

Stakeholder and Supplier Coordination

Partner with business stakeholders to understand requirements, clarify scope, support supplier engagement and progress procurement activities.

Coordinate with Legal, Risk, Finance, Technology and business teams to support compliant sourcing and contracting.

Provide clear procurement guidance within agreed policies, processes and delegated authority levels, escalating complex commercial, legal, risk or stakeholder issues through procurement leadership.

Commercial Analysis and Value Tracking

Support spend analysis, savings tracking, cost avoidance reporting and benefits documentation.

Prepare analysis on supplier pricing, commercial options, contract renewals, rate structures and supplier performance.

Support commercial modelling and scenario analysis for sourcing and renewal decisions, contributing to procurement process compliance and risk management.

Supplier and Contract Support

Support supplier performance reporting, contract renewal tracking, issue logs and governance meeting preparation.

Monitor contract risks including renewal dates, auto-renewals, indexation, scope changes and non-compliant spend.

Maintain accurate procurement records, track actions from supplier reviews, and support audit readiness.

What we’re looking for:

Core skills

3 to 5 years of procurement, strategic sourcing, category support or commercial sourcing experience in the Australian market.

Practical experience supporting or running sourcing activities for consulting, advisory, legal, HR services, specialist contractors or other professional services categories.

Sound understanding of professional services engagement models, including rate cards, role mix, statements of work, deliverables, milestones, scope management and commercial terms.

Experience reviewing statements of work, supplier proposals, rate cards, commercial schedules and contract documentation.

Familiarity with contract and commercial risk concepts, including liability, indemnities, service levels, data protection, information security and termination provisions.

Ability to undertake spend analysis, supplier comparison, commercial modelling, opportunity identification and sourcing documentation.

Ability to evaluate supplier proposals using commercial, operational, risk and value criteria.

Sound negotiation skills with ability to support commercial discussions and prepare negotiation analysis.

Confident stakeholder engagement across business, procurement, finance, legal, risk and technology teams.

Financial acumen, including cost comparison, total cost analysis, business case support and benefits tracking.

Structured problem solving, analytical thinking and ability to balance savings, risk, service quality, stakeholder needs and procurement governance.

Clear written and verbal communication, including sourcing summaries, recommendation packs and stakeholder updates.

Strong Microsoft Office capability, particularly Excel, PowerPoint and Word.

Desirable skills

Exposure to technology procurement, including software, SaaS, IT services, systems integration or managed services.

Working knowledge of technology procurement concepts, including SaaS subscriptions, software renewals, IT services and managed services.

Experience with spend analytics tools, dashboards and reporting, including Power BI or equivalent.

Working knowledge of contract lifecycle management systems.

Familiarity with e-procurement and source-to-pay systems, for example Unit4 Scanmarket, Zycus, Ariba or Coupa.

Experience maintaining supplier performance reports, KPI dashboards or savings pipeline trackers.

Experience with project, portfolio or stakeholder reporting tools.

Professional certification in procurement (e.g. MCIPS, CPSM or equivalent).

Commercial, contracting, technology procurement or project management certification.

Don't meet every requirement? We encourage you to apply. We value all forms of experience that may be transferrable and relevant.

What you’ll gain:

The opportunity to work with leading organisations and cutting-edge technology that challenge and expand your expertise.

Work within an inclusive environment committed to Inclusion and Diversity and First Nations Prosperity, ensuring diverse perspectives are at the forefront of our work.

Flexibility means trusting you to choose when, where, and how you work balancing what’s best for you, your team, and your clients to grow and thrive together.

Clear paths for career progression supported by continuous learning and leadership development.

Generous leave entitlements to support your work-life balance - including floating public holidays, birthday leave and ability to purchase additional leave on top of your four weeks.

A world-class parental leave policy offering up to 26 weeks of leave for caregivers, supporting your family and personal life.

We know that perks are as important as your financial rewards. Explore all the benefits that PwC has to offer here.
