Evolving Transport

Transport for NSW is delivering an unprecedented $57.5.2b investment into a truly game changing Future Transport strategy. We are also evolving, bringing together new and existing transport modes, cutting edge technologies and getting smarter at how we do it. We are changing to deliver more connected journeys, greater satisfaction and safer transport for our customers, both now and for the future.

The Division

Our People and Culture team is planning for and building a workforce with the advanced and specialised skills needed to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

We're seriously re-defining our talent practices to be future ready. We've crafted a fresh approach; client-facing talent acquisition integrated with talent management, sourcing, technology, branding, planning, projects, workforce development and diversity. Our new Talent model has already delivered major improvements and now, we're looking for the right people to join us on the next stage of the journey.

The Opportunity

The Senior Manager Business & Commercial leads and delivers business and commercial support to ensure the efficient functioning and service delivery of the Talent and Mobility function. This includes leading vendor engagement and management and coordinating financial reporting as well as leading a small team. You'll play a key role in driving efficiencies in our services and practices. A variety of challenges will come your way routinely and you’ll thrive on coming up with innovative and commercially astute solutions.

What you will be involved in

Identifying, communicating and managing business and commercial issues and risks for the Talent and Mobility function
Setting up and managing the newly created business and commercial team.
Working collaboratively with Procurement, Finance and other key stakeholders to continuously review and improve vendor service delivery, value for money and financial reporting.
Providing specialist advice, support and coaching on best practice procurement, contract negotiation and management to maximise outcomes and uplift commercial capability
Undertaking analysis of complex issues, integration and synthesis of information from a range of internal and external sources to provide the Director Talent with strategic, expert and timely advice which draws out sensitive matters, addressing strategic and tactical issues and offering alternative options

About you

You’ll be an experienced business and commercial professional with the ability to operate in a complex environment subject to ongoing changes. Your forward planning and ability to collaborate with key internal and external stakeholders will be key as will your knowledge and experience of working within the government sector. Whilst experience of working in a Talent function is desirable, more important is your ability to proactively manage commercial vendor engagement and provide meaningful financial reporting.

You'll thrive on a challenge, and you’ll have the ability to work at a fast pace within an organisation undergoing transformational change. You know what good looks like and how to get there. You're a collaborator, influencer and someone who has strong commercial acumen and an eye for the detail.
