Public Sector Leader of Strategic Procurement Initiatives
6 days ago
MBIE aims to create a resilient and high-performing economy that delivers real and ongoing quality of life for all New Zealanders. We do this by working with others to create an environment that supports businesses to be more productive and internationally competitive, enables all New Zealanders to participate in the economy through improved job opportunities, and by working to ensure quality housing is more affordable.
We are guided by our values which shape our behaviours: Māia– Bold and brave, Pae Kahurangi – Build our Future. Our Māori identity, Hīkina Whakatutuki, broadly means 'lifting to make successful'. MBIE recognises the partnership founded under Te Tiriti o Waitangi between Māori and the Crown and is committed to giving effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
The Chief Executive of MBIE is responsible for leading and co-ordinating government procurement best practice and supporting the Minister for Economic Development to drive the Government's strategic objectives for procurement.
As the General Manager, New Zealand Government Procurement (NZGP), you will lead the NZGP Branch. Reporting directly to the Deputy Chief Executive Regional Development & Commercial Services (RDCS), you will be responsible for providing cross-government leadership and capability to achieve effective and efficient results from Government's procurement activities.
In particular, the General Manager NZGP will deliver the All-of-Government procurement programme, provide policy advice on Government Procurement, and maintain technical capabilities to respond to emerging procurement and all-of-government contract opportunities.
The role will focus on building and enhancing the overall capability of the Government Procurement Branch to ensure quality and consistency of advice and practices in relation to Government priorities and procurement activities.
You will need to operate effectively as a Public Sector General Manager, leading a large branch and delivering a significant work programme. You must be able to establish and build strong internal and external working relationships, including with Ministers and senior officials.
You will also need to think strategically and work through complex political situations with high ambiguity and under pressure. Significant experience working in government, with an excellent understanding of government processes and operating environments, is essential.
Experience providing high-quality policy advice across a range of specialist areas is required. Knowledge of cross-government procurement and contract management frameworks is an advantage. Understanding of the key influences on the NZ economy and business environment is also necessary.
