It is overseen by an independent Board of Directors and has a total capitalisation of up to €8.75bn.
Your new role
We are seeking two Procurement Leads – Portfolio Managers to play pivotal leadership roles in shaping and delivering a best-in-class public procurement function.
Each role will act as the Procurement Lead for a defined portfolio, owning strategy, governance, systems, delivery and risk management end-to-end, and will support the Head of Procurement in building and leading a high-performing, commercially capable procurement function.
You will partner at Director, Head and Lead level to shape strategy, investment decisions and commercial models. You will act as a trusted advisor and critical friend, providing robust commercial challenge, insight and support. You will build a deep understanding of your portfolio, its supply markets, commercial and contract management requirements, risk profile and legal and governance context, and design and implement portfolio and category strategies that deliver outcomes, manage risk and enable housing delivery – while remaining fully compliant with Irish and EU public procurement law and the wider policy agenda.
What you'll need to succeed
- Operate as Procurement Leads / Portfolio Managers, not just tender managers.
- Have a strong track record of leading complex, high-value procurements under Irish and EU public procurement law – this is essential.
- Have substantive knowledge and practical experience of risk and risk management frameworks, and can apply them across commercial strategy, sourcing and contract management.
- Have demonstrable experience designing and operating commercial, contract management and procurement systems.
- Are commercially minded, outcome-focused and able to design strategies that deliver value, manage risk and enable delivery.
- Have excellent senior stakeholder management skills, including acting as a trusted advisor and critical friend.
- Have a strong understanding of public procurement governance, assurance and oversight frameworks.
- Are comfortable working in ambiguity and complexity, shaping new categories and building structures where none previously existed.

€100k + salary, bonus and a seat at the leadership table. Supportive team and career progression on offer.
