Your Impact
As our Procurement Category Manager, you’ll play a critical role in shaping how we source, negotiate, and collaborate with suppliers to deliver value across our Victorian operations. You’ll partner closely with the Victorian Procurement Manager and a wide mix of internal stakeholders to build and execute category strategies that deliver improvements in time, service, quality, and safety.
You will –
- Bring strong analytical capability to the table — interpreting data, modelling cost scenarios, and maintaining pricing databases that support smarter business decisions.
- Manage the end‑to‑end supplier cycle: from trials and onboarding, through to negotiations, performance management and compliance.
- Uplift the quality of our supplier relationships, streamline procurement processes, and strengthen the commercial foundations that support our building teams.
- Influence positive operational outcomes through strong communication, robust reporting and a continuous improvement mindset.
All the while, you’ll be helping to drive performance across a large and diverse supplier base.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need to be from a building background — we welcome applicants who bring strong commercial, analytical and relationship‑driven experience from other industries.
We’d love to meet you if you are:
- Highly analytical, with strong commercial acumen
- Skilled in problem solving, decision making and interpreting data
- Someone with exceptional communication skills who builds trust quickly
- Comfortable leading negotiations and managing complex supplier relationships
- Organised, detail‑oriented and confident juggling competing priorities
- Open to growth, feedback, and continuous improvement
- Experienced in procurement, category management, or commercial operations (construction experience is a bonus, not a must)
You must have the right to live and work in Australia to apply.
