Details: Procurement ACT is seeking a high-performing Senior Director (SOG A) to lead a Sourcing, Advice and Supply (SAS) team.

Reporting to the Executive Branch Manager (EBM), Goods and Services, the Senior Director has the role and responsibility for undertaking the management of a team of procurement officers for a SAS  team, delivering advice and facilitation of complex procurement projects to a collective group of Territory directorates and agencies; and for effectively contributing to the planning and transition of the Goods and Services Branch to a tiered serviced delivery model under the Procurement Reform.

The Senior Director leads the work of the SAS  team to ensure consistently accurate, timely, and customer-focused advice and support to Directorates and agencies, suppliers and the public through all phases of the procurement lifecycle. Advice will support evidence-based decision making that is conducted with probity and can withstand scrutiny.

A key part of the role includes transitioning the SAS team and the Branch to a more effective and efficient tiered service delivery model under the Procurement Reform Program and enhancing the services relating to strategic and proactive establishment, use and management of whole of government arrangements, including supplier and buyer feedback mechanisms. Further information on the Program is available at Procurement Reform Program.
