Auckland City, New Zealand Contact Energy Full time

Company Description
**Te Tākinatanga | Our Story**

At Te Mata Hiko (Contact Energy), we believe home is the most important place in the world. It's all part of our vision to leave Aotearoa better than we found it. We’re a power and broadband company, but we’re so much more than that. We are transforming the ways we mahi, and how Aotearoa is powered, leading the charge on renewable energy and digitising customer journeys in ways not yet seen here. A team of 1000+ from all walks of life who love what we do, look out for each other, and learn from one another every day, we’re stoked to be guided by our tikanga: we touch lives to make life better.

Part of that transformation is to build the best Procurement team in Aotearoa. If that sounds bold, it’s because it is.

We created a new role last year for a Head of Strategic Contracting & Procurement to introduce an enterprise-wide strategic focus across C&P. Initially, we wanted the role to act like a consultant, assessing our C&P maturity and ability before making a recommendation on how to manage over the longer term. That upfront mahi has been done and found what we knew would be the case**:we need change.** As part of our Procurement transformation, we’ve created seven** **new roles, including this one as Procurement Delivery Manager.

**Job Description**:
**Kōrero mō te tūranga | About the role***

Inheriting a stellar team of procurement professionals, you’ll create value across all of Contact in ways we’ve never seen before. From leading significant tenders across a diverse portfolio of spend (Development, ICT, Digital, Generation and Trading, Retail, Western Energy, and other Corporate functional areas) to the innovation and delivery of new commercial strategies, this is a big role with big impact.

Reporting to the Head of Strategic Contracting & Procurement (a dynamo of a guy), you’ll lead key strategic procurement activities across the business, provide strategic leadership, guidance and coaching to our Procurement Leads, work with suppliers and partners to find mutually beneficial terms, create long-term strategic partnerships that create value for all parties, develop and implement standardised sourcing processes and build great relationships across Contact to ensure we nail robust commercial outcomes.

This is a key role for us, one that’s pivotal to our Procurement transformation and could be career-defining for you. We have a long road of opportunity ahead that will give you space to flex your Procurement muscles. You won’t just be leading a great team and getting great outcomes for Contact; you’ll be involved from day dot on process improvement, cost reduction, improved delivery performance, less paperwork and - crucially - internal customer satisfaction.

**Qualifications**:
**Ko wai koe | About you**

We’re on a journey, so it’s essential you have been, too. You’ve grafted before to take something from low maturity to a smooth operation and have some great yarns to share about the ride there. You led, managed, and evolved a Procurement team through a magic blend of tenacity, EQ, people leadership, and stakeholder management, and you’re ready to flex those muscles again.

This is a unique role, a once-in-a-career opportunity to be part of not just the Contact story and where we’re going, but to really shape the delivery of how we do things for the business. As a key part of the leadership team, you’ll need influence and visibility, big-picture vision, and an in-depth understanding of the core functions within modern Procurement, with the ability to bring others on the journey with you.

You’ll also need a deep understanding of the New Zealand market. Capital Procurement in large infrastructure projects experience is essential, so this will need to have been gained within Maintenance, Repairs and Operations industries like Automotive, Energy, Heavy Industry, or Oil & Gas. (Our eyes will light up if you worked in the Energy sector within Renewable / Geothermal / Hydro / Wind)

Additional Information

There are a bunch of perks to being a permanent Contact kaimahi. Along with great people, development, and growth and progression opportunities, you’ll enjoy flexible working (where, when and how works best for you), free health insurance cover, better-than-your-average leave, access to Contact Shares, a ‘Good to be Home’ annual payment toward your home set up & wellbeing, a trail-blazing parental leave policy, discounts on Contact Energy products_, _and more.
