Leader Strategic Sourcing

About The Role

We are seeking a highly capable leader to establish and lead a contemporary, enterprise-wide sourcing function. This is a critical leadership role responsible for unifying procurement and category management, delivering sustainable commercial value, and strengthening supply resilience across the organisation.

This role will suit a leader who thrives in complexity and change and can simplify, bring clarity, and build a high performing team that delivers sustainable, measurable outcomes.

You will lead the implementation of an integrated sourcing operating model that aligns to existing enterprise strategy and enables effective program delivery.

This is an opportunity to shape the future of sourcing within TasNetworks by building a cohesive function, harnessing existing capability within the team, and delivering meaningful commercial and operational outcomes at scale. If you are a strategic, outcomes focused leader who can bring clarity to complexity and lead teams through change, we’d love to hear from you.
