Application requirements
- Cover letter highlighting your relevant skills and experience.
- Up-to-date resume, maximum five pages.
A cover-letter page limit is not specified. Consider a focused two-page letter and check the application form for additional instructions before submission. No separate targeted questions appear in the vacancy text.
What to highlight
Explain the commercial result
Use an agreement where you monitored supplier performance, identified a problem and helped improve the outcome. Explain the measures, governance arrangements and conversations you used. Show the result in service quality, risk reduction, value or a better negotiated position, while protecting commercially sensitive details.
Demonstrate influence across the contract
Describe how you worked with operational stakeholders and a supplier when their priorities differed. Set out your role in a variation, renewal or performance discussion and explain how you kept the decision commercially sound. The panel should be able to distinguish your contribution from the wider team’s work.
Application structure
Start the cover letter with the types of contracts and supplier relationships you have managed. Develop one example about performance and governance, then another about a commercial issue or stakeholder negotiation. Use your resume to establish the scale of your work and the responsibilities that sit behind those examples.
Before you submit
Relevant qualifications or equivalent experience in procurement, business, commerce or a related field are sought. You need current Australian work rights and must attend a NSW office; relocation is required for successful applicants living outside NSW. Keep any AI-assisted wording accurate and faithful to your experience.
Check every requested document and response against the application instructions. Make your personal contribution clear, remove unsupported claims and leave time for a final proofread before 23 September 2026 at 11:59 pm AEST. Return to the official job ad when you are ready to apply.
