Bring a higher purpose to your career by helping house to Kiwis
There’s never been a more exciting time to be part of the public housing sector in this country. At Housing New Zealand (HNZ), we are providing thousands of homes for people in need. And as a socially focused landlord, we are continuing to provide quality housing and tenancy management services to families and tenants. We own or manage around 63,000 properties nationwide and more than 184,000 people live in our properties.
We are embarking on one of the largest housing building programmes this country has seen in decades as we significantly increase the number of homes we provide and improve the quality of our current stock.
The role you’ll play
You’ll leverage this unprecedented investment in property maintenance to grow and develop the supplier landscape nationally as necessary to reach Housing New Zealand’s goals. Work closely with Housing New Zealand’s property services and professionals to deliver commercial outcomes that make a real difference for New Zealand and New Zealanders.
No procurement team in New Zealand has the same opportunity to influence a sector at this scale. Nor do other roles come close to having the same level of positive commercial and social benefit, directly influencing the lives and well being of Kiwis through healthier and more accessible housing.
What you’ll be doing
Reporting to the Director-Strategic Sourcing and Supplier Management, this newly created role is a pivotal appointment as HNZ changes the approach to maintaining the HNZ property portfolio as well as a significant retrofit programme.
The Commercial Director – Property Services is key to this programmes’ success as you will work with the business to evolve existing commercial practices to meet the future maintenance programme. In this role you will provide advice and constructive challenge to business groups regarding strategic sourcing and supplier relationship management and be the commercial lead for the next iteration of HNZ’s property maintenance solutions. Working in partnership with the COO, you’ll be a key figure in the team, working together to achieve HNZ’s commercial and strategic goals.
Your responsibilities
- Provide robust, effective commercial leadership and direction
- Lead the transition to and adoption of strategic procurement in relation to the residential property maintenance & management categories.
- Develop, agree and drive implementation of appropriate procurement strategies and methodologies
- Actively influence day to day decisions, shaping strategy and the direction of the business group
- Provide advice and constructive challenge to business groups regarding strategic sourcing and supplier relationship management
- Leverage relationships with internal and external peers to create a collaborative approach in solving business problems and identifying opportunities
About you & what’s in it for you
With your senior commercial background being supplemented by strong understanding of procurement, you will be able to use your knowledge and delivery experience as you develop trust and credibility with senior management and suppliers.
You will have excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to foster good stakeholder relationships through consultation and partnership and be able to work at all levels within both the business and externally. You’ll have senior leadership experience and a strong knowledge of procurement concepts, methodologies and practices.
Above all we’re looking for attitude, intellect and energy. If you’ve been looking for a role that offers size, scale and complexity that will challenge and develop your career while having a major impact on NZ’s society we think you may have just found it.
Our people are driven by a passion to make life better for Kiwis, and this is your chance to join our team and make it happen.
