Job Description
If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you've likely heard of AMP. But at a time when society is changing, we are too. We're now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking.
For us, these are exciting times. There's a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.
Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours
We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we've been doing it for over 170 years.
If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people.
The Strategic Partnering, and Sourcing Group (SP&S) sits within the Finance function and undertakes sourcing and vendor management on behalf of the entire enterprise. SP&S is responsible for delivering commercial advice, management and sourcing strategies and solutions that enable the delivery of business goals and objectives and plays a key part in driving change within the organisation.
Are you looking to take your career to the next level? Join our Strategic Partnering, and Sourcing Group and harness your commercial acumen whiles working on impactful and meaningful projects that drive value to AMP
As a Commercial Manager, you will support the management and delivery of commercial, contractual, legal, and financial outcomes across AMP business lines. You will work closely with senior team members and subject matter experts to ensure AMP achieves maximum value from projects, partners, and vendor arrangements.
How you will make an impact
We are seeking enthusiastic early-career candidates who ideally have some experience in a commercial environment and are looking to grow further
Candidates should have good communication and relationship-building skills for working with vendors, management and clients. Experience in analytical problem-solving, basic vendor management and some project management would be well regarded.
Attention to detail, the ability to work well within a team environment, and good time management skills are essential. You should be eager to learn and grow, as you will be joining a team with experience and enthusiasm to share their knowledge with you.
Once again this is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about developing their career in a dynamic commercial environment!
You'll thrive here if...
If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you'll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.
Because we run lean, you'll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you'll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.
Why we think you'll love working at AMP
Doing what we've always done is not an option, so your clever ideas will get airtime here. You'll be encouraged to speak up and try new things. If they don't work, we move on - better for it.
We know there's no one way of doing things. So, you won't have to sacrifice who you are or how you work to fit in here. We're inclusive and flexible in many of the ways you'd expect. And in some of the ways you wouldn't. As long as your health and wellbeing come first - at home and at work.
In fact, most of what makes AMP such a welcoming, enjoyable place to work are our people. Wherever you go, you'll find moments to connect, feel valued and do meaningful work.
Whether it's through our first-class leaders who are invested in you and your success. Through year-round opportunities to volunteer, fundraise and give back to the community. Or in the everyday challenges you face as we work together to strengthen this great organisation. Challenges that will stretch you, amplify your potential and compound the impact you have.
We believe in the power of inclusion and diversity.
We're dedicated to fostering inclusion, diversity, and a warm feeling of belonging at AMP. It sparks creativity, ignites innovation, and turns up the dial on the quality of our decisions and performance. This not only makes our workplace more engaged, but also leads to better connections with our customers.
We're your allies in the search for the perfect fit - when you apply, let us know how we can support you to put your best self forward during our selection process.
We're also committed to enhancing employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, so we enthusiastically encourage candidates from these backgrounds to apply and explore our Reconciliation Plan on our website.
Ready to create your tomorrow?
If you're someone who sees opportunity where others see challenge, come and work with us in smart, progressive ways as we transform an iconic Australian brand for the future. And, through a series of career-defining moments, create your own tomorrow.
Don't procrastinate! We review applications when we get them, and if we discover the ideal candidate, we may close the role earlier than the advertised close date.
Looking forward to meeting you.
