**He angitūtanga: The opportunity**

Our Auckland Council Procurement team has a permanent full-time opportunity in the Capital/Operations Procurement team for a Procurement Specialist to join the team

As a Specialist, you will work with the procurement team to develop and execute procurement category strategies and plans, deliver supplier relationship and contract management outcomes and assist in delivering the best "value for money" outcomes for Auckland Council.

This role will assist with identifying opportunities from all aspects of the procurement lifecycle in spend categories that you are assigned from time to time and deliver against the "whole of life" costs of the goods or services being procured. You will also look for sustainable and social procurement outcomes that can be achieved from the council's procurement spend. The role will focus on the customer and co-locate with them when necessary to complete strategic procurement activity, including planning, sourcing, negotiations and supporting contract and supplier relationship management.

This is a great opportunity to work in a large and complex organisation, and be exposed to various projects and to high-profile work. This role would progress into a Strategic Procurement Specialist & then as a Procurement Category Manager position and we encourage development and growth towards this.

You can expect to work on:

- Delivering a whole-of-life cost analysis approach for strategic operations procurement initiatives and some capital (infrastructure) procurement works.
- Supplier relationship management, including facilitating workshops.
- Spend analytics and strategic response.

**He kōrero mōu: About you**

To succeed in this role, you will have procurement experience from within large and complex organisations. You will need strong foundational sourcing knowledge and strategic thinking to set you up for success.

We will also be looking for:

- Outstanding relationship management skills to influence significant stakeholders including supplier relationship management
- Evidence of strong foundational sourcing knowledge, as this is key for the role
- Confidence in leading or running workshops to internal and external stakeholders
- Initiative, drive and ability to independently manage the allocated procurement categories/initiatives
- Experience in procurement for Government or related organisations would be advantageous, but not compulsory.

Auckland Council is one of the largest local authorities in the South Pacific providing essential services and facilities to more than 1.5 million people. We are progressive socially, culturally and environmentally while we work towards creating change having an impact on our journey to becoming a world-class city for our ratepayers and residents. So what’s in it for you? You’ll be immersed in a small and diligent team. You’ll be exposed to all facets of banking/accounting and build your network across council. This opportunity will allow you to actively participate in the development of yourself and team to enhance your capability and influence.

We offer flexible working arrangements, competitive salaries, and varied learning and career progression opportunities across the wider Council group. You’ll be joining a team of dedicated and respected experts working collaboratively across the region to contribute to Auckland’s growth and development. We are committed to diversity, have a culture built on trust and valuing individual contributions, and are driven to provide the right outcomes for our customers and our environment.
