Job description

Procurement Governance & Remediation Lead

Procurement Governance & Remediation Lead
Brisbane | 3-Month Contract | Immediate Start Preferred

A leading financial services organisation is seeking an experienced procurement governance and remediation professional to support a critical program of regulatory and risk-related initiatives within a recently established procurement function.

With several high-priority deliverables and regulatory deadlines approaching, this role requires an experienced contractor who can quickly embed into the business, take ownership of key workstreams and deliver outcomes from day one.

This is not a traditional procurement role focused on sourcing or category management. Instead, the successful candidate will combine strong procurement knowledge with governance, risk and regulatory remediation experience gained within complex financial services environments.

The Opportunity

Working closely with senior stakeholders across procurement, risk, compliance and legal teams, you will support the delivery of critical governance and remediation initiatives while helping strengthen procurement frameworks, controls and operating practices.

The organisation is looking for a hands‑on senior operator who can roll up their sleeves, navigate complex stakeholder environments and progress key pieces of work with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive procurement governance and remediation activities
• Support delivery of regulatory and risk-based initiatives
• Review and enhance procurement policies, procedures and controls
• Conduct gap assessments and support remediation planning
• Assist with supplier governance and third-party risk activities
• Prepare reporting and updates for senior stakeholders
• Work closely with risk, compliance and legal teams to ensure key deliverables are achieved
• Contribute to the ongoing development of procurement governance frameworks and best practice processes

About You

• Significant experience within financial services, banking, wealth management, insurance or superannuation
• Strong procurement governance, risk, compliance or remediation experience
• Demonstrated experience operating within regulated environments
• Experience supporting regulatory responses, audit remediation or governance uplift programs
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at senior levels
• A pragmatic and hands‑on approach with a focus on delivery and outcomes
• The ability to quickly establish credibility and contribute from the outset

Experience supporting APRA-related initiatives, third‑party risk management programs or procurement transformation activities will be highly regarded.

What's On Offer

• Immediate opportunity to support a high‑profile regulatory and governance program
• Exposure to senior business stakeholders
• A genuine opportunity to make an impact within a critical function
• Flexible working arrangements
• Potential extension opportunities based on project requirements
