V/Line's purpose is to connect Victorians through safe, reliable, and accessible transport. We believe in giving all Victorians opportunities through travel and transport - connecting them to jobs, education, family and friends, services, tourism and trade.

V/Line is experiencing significant growth and we're delivering more services, more trains, cheaper fares, and huge projects. With more than 3700 weekly train and coach services, an expansive freight network and unprecedented rail investment, millions of Victorians depend on us to deliver. You could be one of our 2700 committed team members who are up to the challenge.

About the role

As the Procurement Senior Specialist - Strategic Sourcing, you are integral to the success of V/Line's Corporate Services Group.

You will deliver strategic sourcing outcomes through market analysis, commercial negotiations, effective risk management, technical competency, and collaborative stakeholder management. The role will focus predominately on V/Line's operational services and contracts.

Key Accountabilities:

  • Collaborate with other business functions to analyse project scopes and develop fit for purpose specifications.
  • Assist the Procurement Manager - Strategic Sourcing in overseeing high-value contracts.
  • Contribute to the development of category strategies aligned with the overall business strategy.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities and value-add initiatives while mitigating supply chain risks.



About you

As a proactive and resourceful professional, you're committed to continuous improvement.

You are already working at a high level in Procurement and have the expertise to perform well in a senior role. Ideally, this experience has been in operational service categories such as facilities, labour and commodities.

You understand the intricacies of contract negotiations and are skilled at using requests for tender and business-to-business processes to deliver commercial and value for money outcomes.

Candidates with previous VGBP (Victorian Government Purchasing Board) experience will be considered desirable, but not essential.

Effective communication skills are your forte, ensuring stakeholders remain consulted and engaged throughout the sourcing process.

Most importantly, you embody V/Line's core values: Responsiveness, Integrity, Impartiality, Accountability, Respect, Leadership, and Human Rights.

In addition to free myki travel, we offer:

  • Community impact - Make a genuine difference. Work in a role that connects Victorians, every day.
  • Huge potential - We're transforming, and you can too. Be a change maker, recognised for your contribution and creativity.

  • Collaborative team - You'll be part of a broader supportive team. Surround yourself with talented, passionate peers.
  • Flexible working - We support flexible working. Work in a way that supports you to thrive in your role.
