Ētahi kōrero mō Pharmac - Te Pātaka Whaioranga | About Pharmac - Te Pātaka Whaioranga
At Pharmac | Te Pātaka Whaioranga we endeavour to deliver the best health outcomes for all New Zealanders through investment in medicines and medical devices.
We are a close-knit whānau with around 180 kaimahi. We take pride in what we do, work hard, and have fun along the way.
Ngā uruatanga, our values, ground our behaviour and guide our thinking:
Whakarongo - we listen with intent and empathy to understand
Tūhono - we connect with people, communities, the health system and each other
Wānanga - we draw on evidence and people's experiences to improve
Māia - we challenge ourselves
Kaitiakitanga - we safeguard wellbeing for New Zealanders, now and for the future
Mō tēnei tūranga | About the Role
We are seeking a procurement professional to lead procurement activities and support commercial strategies for medicines and vaccines, and feed into a wider programme around hospital medical devices to ensure optimum value for money is gained.
In this role you will be managing competitive procurement processes, which will include planning, conducting evaluations, negotiating, and consulting with relevant stakeholders. The role requires strong analysis and writing skills. The primary focus of this role is sourcing, as Pharmac has dedicated contract management teams.
This role provides a fantastic opportunity to be at the core of Pharmac's operations and part of a collaborative team that leads procurement activities on behalf of the wider health sector. The purchasing decisions you will facilitate are not made for the benefit or use of the agency, they are made for the benefit and use of New Zealanders and the wider health sector. You will be able to see and feel the results of the work you do.
This position is situated within our close-knit Procurement Team who are a forward-thinking, friendly team that want to foster a sustainable medicines and medical devices market for the future of all New Zealanders. The team consists of seven people, and sits in the Procurement and Contracts Team within the Pharmaceuticals Directorate at Pharmac. While conducting procurement processes you will engage closely with a wide variety of other teams within Pharmac such as the Pharmaceutical and Device Funding Teams, Legal, Communications, Analysis, Medical and Implementation teams, all of whom are invested and actively involved in our procurement work.
Please note in this position you will be managing procurement processes, rather than our Procurement Team. Similar types of expertise include procurement specialist, sourcing manager and contract manager.
The salary range for this position is $91,814 - $124,220 total remuneration. The appointment range is $97,215 - $124,220 total remuneration, inclusive of 3% Kiwi Saver Employer contribution. The appointment salary will be subject to the preferred candidate's relevant skills, experience, and qualifications.
This position is also Wellington based.
