Mō te tūnga | About the role
You will act as part of a team to deliver a variety of tasks within the procurement lifecycle (plan, source, manage).

**Tasks will include but are not limited to**:

- Lead sourcing processes to engage suppliers;
- Establish new contracts and manage contract changes;
- Provide commercial and procurement advice;
- Promote an agile, flexible and creative customer-centric culture; and
- Practice a continuous improvement approach across lifecycle activities to provide innovative solutions and minimise risk.

You'll play a key role in contributing to improving the overall capability and effectiveness of the NZDF commercial function, which affects the capacity for NZDF to undertake military operations. What we do matters.

**Please note**: You can base yourself in either Wellington CBD or Trentham, with up to two days a week at home.
Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and Experience
We're looking for team players with a proven track record in engaging successfully with customers and key stakeholders.
You will be passionate about what you do and enjoy the challenge of delivering customer-focussed solutions. Your communication skills include being able to engage with a wide range of stakeholders with ease, with written work to a high standard. You will be proactive, thoughtful and organised.

**Ideal experience includes the following**:

- Leading sourcing processes and managing contracts;
- A sound understanding of the end-to-end procurement lifecycle process, the Government Procurement Rules and best practice procurement behaviour; and
- Work within the public sector.

Your attitude and “soft skills” are more important to us than technical skills and government procurement experience.
Mō mātou | About Us
Defence Commercial Services (DCS) is a unit within the wider Joint Defence Services (JDS) Portfolio. JDS enables Defence Force operations by synchronising key pan-NZDF enabling functions.
We have three roles available in DCS - one in the Enabling team and two in the Capability/Logistics (CapLog) team.
The DCS CapLog team provide commercial support and advice to the Capability and Logistics branches of NZDF, working across all three services: Airforce, Army and Navy. Capability Branch brings new and improved equipment and services into NZDF; Logistics Branch ensures equipment and services function effectively while in use. One week you could be leading sourcing for dive gear, the next you could be reviewing a support contract for our new Poseidon aircraft or engaging with overseas suppliers.
The DCS Enabling team provides commercial support and advice to a wide range of internal stakeholders including NZDF Health, Corporate Services, Veterans' Affairs, and Defence College. We have undertaken tenders (and manage the resulting contracts) for the purchase of gym equipment, X-Ray machines, Radiology Services, Document Destruction Services, Water Coolers, Board Member Agreements, Internal and External House Cleaning for Veterans, Training contracts etc. No two pieces of work are the same - offering great variety in your work.
Every hour of every day, 365 days of the year, the New Zealand Defence Force is contributing to the defence, security and well-being of Aotearoa / New Zealand. As a modern, professional military, it is our goal to maintain well trained, equipped and disciplined armed forces that can react to crisis at short notice.
Nōu te rourou | What's in it for you
By joining our team, you are making a great career decision. What we do every day is varied and interesting. The experiences you will gain are unique to Defence and will provide you with a strong sense of purpose and belonging. The contracts we support are diverse because the NZDF itself is diverse. No two days are the same.
There are a range of people with different skills and experience who will welcome you to the team and support your learning and development. Commercial and Procurement Specialists are mentored and supported with on the job learning by their Practice Lead, team Seniors and their peers. CIPS study is fully funded. Career development is supported with internal progression opportunities and NZDF training courses.
We embrace the NZDF core values that underpin what we do and how we work: Courage - Tū Kaha, Commitment - Tū Tika, Comradeship - Tū Tira, and Integrity - Tū Maia.
Our teams work together, building stakeholder relationships and learning together. We promote diversity of thought and welcome the contribution and perspective of those we work with and for. We have a culture that values delivering quality outcomes for our customers, and supports work life balancing.
These staff comments demonstrate some key reasons for joining us:

- I get a great amount of satisfaction knowing that playing my part within CapLog team matters. As it provides our soldiers the necessary gear and equipment required to maintain New Zealand's Security and Humanitarian requirements.
- I love working on the wi
