The Deloitte Supply Chain & Procurement (SC&P) team provides a dynamic environment where you will work on challenging projects, across a range of ASX listed and private client organisations.

About the Team

There has never been a more exciting and challenging time to be in Supply Chain & Procurement. Organisations are facing unprecedented cost pressures, supply market volatility, increasing ESG and decarbonisation expectations, and a rapid shift toward digital and data-driven procurement.

Within Deloitte’s Supply Chain & Procurement practice, our Procurement capability focuses on helping Australia’s leading organisations transform how they buy, manage suppliers, and create value through procurement. We bring together deep procurement expertise, leading practices, global insights, and cutting-edge digital solutions to help clients uplift performance and resilience.

Our work spans the end-to-end procurement agenda — from procurement strategy and operating model design through to category management, sourcing, supplier relationship management, and digital procurement technology advisory and implementation.

The team is growing rapidly in response to strong market demand for procurement leaders who can solve complex commercial problems and lead large-scale transformation programs.

What will your typical day look like?

As a manager within our Procurement team, you will:

• Work with a high-performing, collaborative team to help clients deliver procurement excellence, cost and value outcomes, and ESG improvements through their procurement strategies, operating models, and supplier ecosystems
• Engage directly with senior client stakeholders on their most critical procurement and commercial challenges
• Lead and support procurement transformation initiatives, including Procurement strategy and roadmap development, Procurement operating model and governance design
• Category management, strategic sourcing, and supplier relationship management uplift
• Play a key role in Digital Procurement engagements, including advising clients on procurement technology selection (e.g. Source-to-Pay, Contract Lifecycle Management, Supplier Risk & Performance tools)
• Supporting and leading procurement technology implementations and business change
• Ensuring clients realise value from their digital procurement investments
• Draw on Deloitte’s broader capabilities across Digital, Data & Analytics, Design Thinking, and our global consulting network to deliver integrated solutions
• Coach and develop junior team members, providing on-the-job guidance and formal mentoring
• Contribute to business development by shaping proposals, building client relationships, and identifying new opportunities
• Actively contribute to building a strong team culture that promotes diversity, inclusion, learning, wellbeing, and collaboration
• A career in Procurement at Deloitte means working alongside Australia’s leading organisations to solve complex, high-impact problems — no two days are the same.
