Join a leading Australian company as it undertakes a strategic procurement transformation to safeguard its national network for the future. As Head of Procurement Partnering – Property, you’ll manage a diverse capital expenditure portfolio supporting retail store openings, refurbishments, warehousing, and operational infrastructure.

This newly created leadership role will shape and implement the procurement strategy for property, construction, and operational infrastructure categories — from store fit-outs and refurbishments to refrigeration, signage, fixtures, and project services. You’ll act as a senior commercial advisor to Property, Retail Operations, and Store Development teams, lead complex sourcing and supplier negotiations, establish governance, and promote compliance and performance across a national footprint.

• Design and execute multi-year procurement and category strategies for store and warehouse fit-outs, signage, refrigeration, fixtures and capital work services.
• Lead complex sourcing initiatives, commercial negotiations and supplier contracting (e.g., AS4000).
• Develop supplier governance models, scorecards and compliance frameworks to manage project risks.
• Ensure all procurement activity aligns with WHS, building codes and internal delegations.
• Partner with cross-functional leaders in Property, Retail, Legal, Finance, Risk and WHS.
• Coach and grow a team of procurement partners supporting national development programs.

You are an accomplished procurement leader with deep experience in property, construction, and capital works categories.
You bring:

• Proven success delivering complex capital procurement programs within retail, infrastructure, logistics or commercial environments.
• Deep understanding of construction contracts, project procurement, and regulatory frameworks.
• Strong commercial acumen, negotiation skills and stakeholder management at the executive level.
• A collaborative, hands-on style to lead transformation and supplier innovation.
• Familiarity with lifecycle costing, WHS, and large-scale fit-out and equipment procurement.

Why Join?

This is a unique chance to define and embed a high-impact procurement partnering model that supports growth, store development and national network investment. You’ll deliver tangible value while building a legacy of governance, supplier excellence and commercial results.
