You will step in, hit the ground running with minimal direction and take ownership of complex technology sourcing activities across digital ecosystems.

About You

• Proven track record in IT/Digital procurement within large, complex corporate or healthcare environments.
• Strong, hands-on experience across cloud, SaaS, hardware, networks, IT services and infrastructure.
• Highly self-directed and capable of picking up work immediately, delivering outcomes without needing hand-holding and navigating matrix stakeholders.
• Skilled negotiator capable of leading high-stakes commercial discussions and crafting solid contract outcomes.
• Comfortable working on an as-needed, ad-hoc or structured part-time basis.

AJQ strives to be an inclusive workplace for all people. We recognise that we operate in a diverse community and welcome and encourage applications from all suitably qualified candidates.
