Lead reliable purchasing and payment services that keep essential operations moving.

Are you an experienced purchasing and accounts payable leader who enjoys solving problems, supporting people and keeping important services moving?

This is a great opportunity to lead a small, service-focused team that plays a practical and important role in supporting Forest Fire Management Victoria and broader emergency management operations across Victoria.

As the Purchasing and Accounts Payable Lead, you will oversee reliable, timely and compliant purchasing and accounts payable services for the Commercial, Logistics and Resources Branch within Bushfire and Forest Services. You will ensure data is of highest quality, reliable and readily available. You will manage workflow, support accurate financial processing, resolve supplier and invoice issues, strengthen controls and help improve the way services are delivered.

You will work in a collaborative environment where procurement, logistics, fleet, inventory and finance teams come together to support operational readiness, day-to-day service delivery and peak fire season requirements.

About the role

In this role, you will:

lead purchasing and accounts payable workflow, including invoice triage, coding, approvals, payment readiness and issue resolution
manage and support a team of four staff, building a positive, collaborative and service-focused culture
provide practical advice to operational teams on purchasing, receipting, invoices, supplier queries and compliance requirements
investigate and resolve complex payment, invoice and inventory ordering issues
use financial and operational data to identify trends, risks and opportunities for improvement
support month-end processes, reporting, accruals and forecasting inputs
strengthen internal controls, record keeping, audit readiness and compliance with financial delegations
contribute to continuous improvement in systems, processes, templates and guidance
support urgent financial processing and operational requirements during emergency management activity and peak fire season.

About you

You will bring strong purchasing and accounts payable experience, sound judgement and a practical approach to improving how work gets done. You are comfortable working with detail, managing competing priorities and helping others understand what is needed to get things moving.

You will also bring:

experience in purchasing, accounts payable, invoice management, supplier queries, financial coding and reporting
leadership experience, including managing workflow, coaching staff and supporting team performance
confidence using finance systems, particularly Oracle, and Microsoft Excel
an understanding of Victorian Government procurement, financial processing and compliance requirements
strong analytical skills and the ability to turn data into practical insights
a collaborative style and the ability to build trusted relationships across teams.

A forklift licence, or willingness to obtain one, and a valid driver’s licence with willingness to travel within Victoria may be required.

Why join us?

You will be part of a branch that works across procurement, logistics, fleet, inventory and emergency management support — helping ensure the right resources are available when and where they are needed.

We offer:

meaningful work that supports Victoria’s emergency management readiness
a collaborative and practical workplace culture
opportunities to lead and improve service delivery
hybrid work arrangements, where operational requirements allow
the chance to support teams working on important public land, fire and emergency management outcomes.

Specialist/Technical Expertise/Qualifications

Demonstrated senior experience in purchasing and accounts payable functions, including invoice management, purchase orders, supplier queries, financial coding, reporting and compliance with relevant policies and procedures.
Proven people leadership capability, including managing workflow, supporting team performance, coaching staff and building a positive, service-focused team culture.
Proven experience using Oracle finance systems and Microsoft Excel, including formulas, pivot tables and basic data analysis techniques to monitor workflow, identify issues and support reporting.
Proven experience working within the Victorian Government procurement framework, with a strong understanding of purchasing, compliance and financial processing requirements.
Strong analytical capability, with the ability to interpret financial and operational data, identify trends or anomalies, and provide practical insights to support decision-making.
