About us

At the NSW Department of Education, we educate and inspire lifelong learners – from early childhood, through schooling to vocational education and training.

We ensure young children get the best start in life by supporting and regulating the early childhood education and care sector. We unlock excellence and unleash the potential of two-thirds of school children in NSW. We’re proudly public and the largest education system in Australia. We nurture opportunities for every learner to develop the skills needed for their chosen career path, helping shape the industries of tomorrow.

We respect and value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as First Peoples of Australia.

About the role

This senior leadership role is critical in strengthening the procurement function by establishing effective governance, policies, systems, and reporting frameworks that enable consistent and high-quality procurement outcomes. It focuses on improving the way procurement services are delivered by fostering a customer-focused culture, enhancing processes, and ensuring teams have the tools, knowledge, and capability required to support the organisation.

The role leads procurement capability development by designing and delivering training initiatives, building internal expertise, and supporting the ongoing growth of procurement skills across the Department

About you

You are an experienced procurement leader with a strong background in operations and enablement. You bring the ability to build and lead high-performing teams, strengthen capability and capacity, and create the structures, processes, and frameworks needed to support a modern procurement function. You are a strategic thinker and effective business partner, with experience driving alignment across strategy, policy, governance, risk, technology and training. You have a proven ability to manage change, optimise ways of working, and ensure procurement services are aligned with the Department’s needs.

With strong leadership and stakeholder engagement skills, you are confident working across teams and with external agencies to identify opportunities, share best practice, and leverage partnerships to improve procurement outcomes. You are passionate about developing people, embedding a culture of performance and innovation, and building a function that is responsive, efficient, and future-focused.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

Demonstrated extensive experience at a senior level in the management of a large complex and diverse team.

Knowledge of and commitment to implementing the Department’s Aboriginal Education Policy and upholding the Department’s Partnership Agreement with the NSW AECG and to ensure quality outcomes for Aboriginal people.

Appropriate tertiary qualifications in a relevant discipline and/or equivalent procurement knowledge and experience.

Hold a valid clearance to work with children (Working with Children Check).

Demonstrated understanding of and commitment to the value of public education.

As a condition of employment, successful candidates who have not previously worked for the department will be required to provide a current Working with Children Check (WWCC) Clearance number. This option would allow the WWCC to naturally expire without further communication needed with the employee. The employer obligations under the WWCC would apply for duration of the WWCC’s validity (up to 5 years).

Interested?

To apply for this role, please submit an online application and attach your resume along with a cover letter which describes how your capabilities, knowledge and experience make you the best person for this role.
