AddressYour New Role:
Development Victoria is committed to excellence in procurement practices. We prioritise innovation, sustainability, and compliance in all our endeavours with a commitment to driving positive impact within our industry and beyond.

Reporting directly to the Director of Procurement Strategy & Compliance, you will collaborate closely with project teams to ensure seamless administrative support throughout the procurement lifecycle.

Core Accountabilities:
- Communicate procurement knowledge to delivery teams through individual and group training on procurement systems like Buying for Victoria Supplier Portal, VendorPanel, etc.
- Act as the first point of contact for procurement queries and assist in raising procurement-related issues.
- Support delivery and operations teams in understanding government and DV policy requirements and registering procurements with external government systems.
- Run reports on internal procurement systems to extract data and identify improvement opportunities.
- Monitor supplier reporting systems (such as the ICN VMC) to assist contract managers in extracting meaningful supplier reports and meeting reporting deadlines.
- Ensure data accuracy and consistency across systems by identifying anomalies and collaborating with stakeholders.
- Assist project teams in preparing and reviewing external reports on compliance with policies such as Social Procurement and Local Jobs First, and Modern Slavery obligations.
- Build strong relationships with delivery teams to become a trusted partner and support point for procurement-related queries.
