Your day-to-day / Āu mahi ia te rā:

In this role, you’ll be the go-to person for procurement advice and support across Lotto NZ, helping teams make smart, fair and commercially sound sourcing decisions.

You’ll partner with stakeholders across the business to understand what they need, shape effective procurement plans, and lead sourcing and tender processes that deliver best public value.

Your day-to-day will include:

• developing sourcing strategies
• supporting tender activity through GETS
• coaching teams through good procurement practice
• advising on supplier and contract management
• supporting commercial negotiations

You’ll also help strengthen procurement frameworks and processes, so we continue to meet our obligations as a Crown Entity.

Your team / Tō rōpū:

Sitting within our Legal and Procurement team and reporting to the General Counsel, this role works closely with teams across the organisation. This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll be trusted to guide, challenge and support teams as they navigate procurement decisions, supplier relationships and contract management.

This is a great opportunity to make your mark in a role that has real influence across the business.
