The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for an individual with a keen interest in a career in procurement to join one of Australia’s leading insurers in the role of Junior Procurement Manager. In this position, you will be responsible for managing procurement projects across a wide variety of categories, together with exposure to other initiatives and projects including supplier data / reporting, supplier management and sustainability for our claims organisation.

Your key skillset to drive your success in this role will include:

• Developed business/commercial acumen from within a similar large and complex organisation
• Strong attention to detail with an ability to juggle risk and compliance with operational activities
• Demonstrated project management skills, with an understanding of managing time and resources to deliver positive outcomes
