Your strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills, combined with experience in public sector procurement or contract management, will be key to your success in this role.
You will bring to the team your expertise in contract development, tendering processes, and procurement policy interpretation, along with your ability to build collaborative relationships, provide sound strategic advice, and drive continuous improvement outcomes.
