- Opportunity to pick up "portfolio" of existing contracts to manage
- Specialist role where your focus is stakeholder relationship management
- Sizable contracts across broad range of categories
This truly could be seen as one the BOP's best procurement and contracts management opportunity that has emerged for some time. And primarily because of the industry sector, the broad range of categories that you will take under your wing and have responsibility for, as well as the range of terms and monetary value.
You will be taking over from someone whose task has been to get things back on track and you will need to maintain that high standard ongoing.
Your experience will be right across procurement and contract management, with emphasis on service delivery, stakeholder and supplier relationship management, contracts administration, and contract risk management. And your experience will be in a complex environment with multi-level stakeholders, and preferably some exposure to Govt procurement, whether as a supplier to Govt or within a public sector entity. You'll also be someone who has an ethos of continuous improvement and environmental sustainability, which is a strong emphasis for this client.
You'll definitely need to be tertiary qualified in a relevant commercial discipline, be at least at level 2 of the APCF, and preferably higher in the key areas of contract, relationship, and cost management. It's also likely you will have additional qualifications in the supply chain area, or directly in procurement. Your negotiations skills will be exemplary, complimented by your superior communication skills. It is unlikely that anyone with less than 10 years of direct contract management or high level procurement experience would have the capability to fulfill this key role.
If you're looking for a change, then this just could be the opportunity you are looking for. The client is keen to have someone on board by February, but could manage a little longer should availability of the ideal person dictate. The engagement is initially flexible but this is ultimately a long term role of key significance for this client.
If this sounds appealing, then please submit an application by clicking on apply and attaching a cover letter and CV - in Word format please. You can contact Kevin Chappell for more information on 0295-974739 - and please note I will be available during the holiday period.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ROLE WILL ONLY SUIT THOSE WITH RELEVANT NZ EXPERIENCE - OR A COMPARATIVE COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS THE UK OR AUSTRALIA. OTHERS WITHOUT THIS EXPERIENCE MAY NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGED.
