About The Role

As a Sourcing Manager you will play a key role in delivering high-quality, cost-effective procurement outcomes that support the delivery of certain services across Aotearoa.

You'll work closely with category management teams to develop and implement sourcing strategies that are robust, legally sound, and aligned with the organisations operational needs.

About You

You are a detail-oriented and commercially minded procurement professional with a strong understanding of sourcing practices and contract management.
