The Opportunity

We’re seeking an experienced Procurement Lead to take ownership of both the commercial and strategic aspects of procurement. Reporting to the Chief Transformation Officer, you will split your time between delivering hands-on, day-to-day procurement activity, including contract management, supplier engagement, and category sourcing, and developing the procurement function through implementing frameworks, governance, and operating model improvements.

This is a hands-on, enterprise-wide role for a commercially sharp professional who enjoys variety, autonomy, and building trusted relationships across all levels of the business. The role is initially 12 months, with the strong potential to evolve into a permanent position as procurement capability matures.

Key Responsibilities

Lead day-to-day procurement activities across key supplier categories, including contract management, supplier negotiations, and commercial decision-making.

Develop and embed procurement frameworks, processes, and governance structures that will enable a sustainable, future-ready function.
Implement reporting structures and benefits tracking to provide transparency and measure procurement impact.
Coach and support leaders and stakeholders to build procurement capability across the business.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure procurement practices are consistently applied across all business units.
Contribute to future-state workforce planning for procurement and help define long-term structure and capability requirements.

About You

You are an experienced procurement professional with 10+ years in senior roles, ideally having led a function either as a manager or in a sole-charge capacity, with a proven track record of delivering both commercial outcomes and building procurement capability. You bring strong commercial acumen, negotiation skills, and contract management experience, and are comfortable working autonomously while engaging effectively with executive leaders and cross-functional teams. Relevant qualifications, such as CIPS or MCIPS, are highly regarded.

You are highly organised and able to manage competing priorities; you consistently deliver outcomes under pressure. Collaborative, resilient, curious, and passionate about professional development, you thrive in dynamic, high-performance environments.

What’s in it for you

This role offers the opportunity to take full ownership of the procurement function within a national, transformation-focused organisation. You will work in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment that values pragmatism, initiative, and commercial thinking, while having the chance to make a meaningful impact on both day-to-day procurement activity and the long-term development of the function. You will gain direct exposure to executive leadership and enterprise-wide operations, with competitive remuneration and the opportunity to grow your career with Team Global Express.

If you’re a commercially astute procurement professional ready to lead both the hands-on commercial work and the development of the procurement function, we’d love to hear from you.
