Ready to bring your procurement leadership expertise to a role where your decisions create value beyond the bottom line?

As Senior Manager, Procurement, you'll lead procurement strategy, strengthen supplier partnerships and drive commercial efficiencies across one of South Australia's leading not-for-profit organisations.

This 12-month fixed-term contract offers the opportunity to lead an established Procurement team, influence organisational purchasing decisions and deliver sustainable outcomes that support our services and communities.

50,000 lives and counting.

That's how many South Australians our people support each year.

As one of the state's leading not-for-profits, we're making a meaningful impact at scale. From foster care to aged care and everything in between, our services are as diverse as the people and communities we serve – and we're growing our reach for the future.

It takes a special kind of person to work in this sector. Someone with genuine compassion and care. Could that be you?

What you’ll do

As Senior Manager, Procurement, you'll play a key leadership role in strengthening AnglicareSA's procurement and supply chain operations, ensuring the organisation achieves value for money while maintaining strong supplier relationships and effective service delivery.

Reporting to the Executive General Manager, Social Enterprise, you'll provide strategic direction to the Procurement team, leading initiatives that improve purchasing practices, optimise organisational expenditure and strengthen procurement performance.

This 12-month fixed-term opportunity will see you working closely with senior leaders and stakeholders across AnglicareSA, balancing commercial priorities with operational needs. You'll bring a proactive approach to identifying opportunities, negotiating favourable agreements and developing practical solutions that create lasting organisational value.

You'll also have the opportunity to build team capability, foster collaboration and embed procurement practices that support accountability, sustainability and continuous improvement.

You’ll be trusted to make a valuable impact by:

• Driving procurement strategy and commercial performance, identifying cost-saving opportunities, improving purchasing practices and delivering measurable financial and operational benefits.


• Leading strategic sourcing and contract negotiations, securing competitive, sustainable agreements and building strong, productive relationships with key suppliers.


• Providing leadership to the Procurement team, developing capability, supporting performance and fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture.


• Strengthening procurement processes and supply chain operations, improving efficiency, supplier performance, governance and compliance with organisational policies.


• Partnering with senior leaders and stakeholders, providing commercial insights, influencing purchasing decisions and supporting responsible procurement aligned with AnglicareSA's values and sustainability commitments.

What you’ll bring

You're an experienced procurement leader who combines commercial acumen with strong relationship management and a genuine passion for developing people.

You understand that effective procurement is about more than negotiating contracts or reducing costs. It's about building partnerships, improving processes and ensuring resources are used responsibly to deliver the best possible outcomes.

You'll bring the confidence to influence senior stakeholders, the judgement to make sound commercial decisions and the leadership skills to support your team through changing priorities.

To thrive in this role, you will have:

• Experience in senior procurement, strategic sourcing or supply chain management, supported by relevant tertiary qualifications in purchasing, contract management or equivalent practical experience.


• Demonstrated success in negotiating and managing high-value contracts, delivering cost efficiencies and achieving sustainable commercial outcomes.


• Proven leadership experience, with the ability to guide, develop and motivate teams while fostering a positive and accountable workplace culture.


• Strong commercial acumen, analytical and negotiation skills, with experience developing procurement strategies, improving processes and managing supplier performance.


• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the confidence to influence senior leaders, building partnerships and providing practical commercial advice.

We would also love you to have:

We recognise that experienced procurement professionals bring different industry backgrounds and strengths. You don't need experience in every area of our operations. We're particularly interested in your ability to lead teams, deliver commercial value and build effective procurement partnerships.

• Exposure to procurement within a large, multi-service organisation, government, not-for-profit or other regulated environment.


• Experience developing procurement policies, governance frameworks, performance measures or continuous improvement initiatives.


• Knowledge of sustainable and ethical procurement practices, including environmental, social and governance considerations.
