Job Description

Transport for NSW is embarking on a bold Procurement Transformation Program. We’re establishing a dedicated, centralised Procurement branch within our Finance, Technology & Commercial Division.

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of procurement in NSW. As we implement a new procurement operating model, you’ll be at the forefront of driving reform and innovation across all procurement functions at Transport for NSW, one of the largest procuring agencies in the country.

This role plays a critical part in strengthening organisational governance, ensuring procurement activities are compliant, ethical, transparent and aligned with policy, legislation and industry best practice.

In this role you’ll:

• Lead the design and implementation of risk based procurement assurance and compliance programs across Transport divisions and portfolio agencies (aside from Sydney Metro).
• Monitor, test and report on procurement performance and non compliance, delivering insights and strategic recommendations to senior leaders.
• Partner with governance, policy, integrity, finance, audit and risk teams to strengthen controls, resolve complex compliance issues and address fraud or corruption matters.
• Identify and drive improvements to procurement policy, processes, risk controls and learning resources to uplift organisational maturity.
• Enhance and maintain assurance tools, systems and reporting frameworks to improve consistency, transparency and visibility across the organisation.
• Produce high-quality reporting and insights for executive leadership, highlighting risks, trends, performance and opportunities for improvement.
• Lead, coach and develop a high performing assurance and compliance team responsible for deep dive assurance reviews (goods and services / construction), controls and compliance monitoring while championing continuous improvement in assurance processes and systems across the full procurement lifecycle.

There are two permanent Transport Senior Service Manager (TSSM) roles. One supports Goods and Services, the other Construction. For more information on this position and business unit, please view the and Information Pack
