About the organisation

Our client is a large-scale Australian manufacturing and supply chain business operating within a fast-paced, commercially driven environment. With a significant national footprint and complex operational network, the organisation is currently investing in the uplift and maturity of its procurement function.

The business is focused on building a procurement capability that delivers genuine commercial outcomes — not just process compliance. This is an environment that values initiative, pace, stakeholder engagement, and practical problem solving.

With strong executive support and a growing focus on procurement-led value creation, this is an opportunity to join a business where procurement has real visibility and influence.

About the role
Reporting into senior procurement leadership, the Procurement Business Partner will support a broad indirect spend portfolio across areas such as packaging, freight, chemicals, energy, consumables, and operational services.
This is a highly commercial, stakeholder-facing role suited to someone who enjoys variety and project-based procurement rather than sitting within one category long term.
Key responsibilities include:

• Leading sourcing and tender activities end-to-end
• Identifying and delivering cost-saving and value creation opportunities
• Managing supplier negotiations and commercial discussions
• Building strong relationships with operational stakeholders
• Driving procurement initiatives from opportunity identification through to implementation
• Supporting the ongoing uplift of procurement capability across the business
• Managing procurement projects with pace, structure, and accountability

The environment is fast moving and hands-on, requiring someone comfortable operating with autonomy and influencing senior stakeholders across the organisation.
