The Opportunity

We have an exciting opportunity for two incredible humans to join our Procurement Team as a Sourcing and Contracts Manager.

The Procurement team at Medibank are focused on delivering best value for our customers. We strive to be a centre of excellence and commercial experts enabling Medibank to achieve its objectives through the application of leading practice category management, sourcing, and supplier management.

The two opportunities available can be either full time position or part time (minimum 3 days a week), on a 6 month and 11-month fixed term contract.

Where you can impact:

• Managing contracts within term, with the purpose of maximising financial and operational performance while minimising risk
• Partnering with business stakeholders to determine next steps well in advance of contract expiration dates.
• Executing the end-to-end tender process, using procurement’s nominated tool (Ariba), and ensuring all artefacts are stored for audit purposes and future use or reference.
• Ensuring adherence to governance and process requirements
• Contributing to the overall capability uplift and business partnering reputation enhancement of the Procurement function.
• Uplifting our supplier base by engaging suppliers that focus on sustainable and social impact procurement.

So, who are we looking for?

You have experience in a procurement or commercial role and have considerable experience managing third parties. You have a commercial mindset and excellent communication skills. You are a curious, active listener who is customer focused. You can execute sourcing activities and negotiate outcomes by leveraging effective contract and supplier management skills and experience.

You take a business partnering approach to your work, and you enjoy building relationships and communicating in a way that captures and holds the attention of others. You are able to help others understand the value of governance, and you have the natural drive to look for cost savings and/or operational improvements.

This incredible human is also passionate about working with a diverse and inclusive team, enjoys the flexibility of working remotely and makes an effort to build connection online and in person (where relevant). You are keen to experiment with new ways of working and adopt a growth mindset.
