Finance and Procurement roles sit at the centre of accountability in government.
Budgets, probity, governance, value for money and audit scrutiny leave no room for error — and yet these are some of the hardest roles for councils and agencies to fill consistently.
Osborne Richardson’s Finance & Procurement division specialises exclusively in recruiting finance, procurement and commercial professionals for local and state government across Australia. We understand the frameworks, approvals, delegations and risk settings that come with public-sector finance — and we recruit people who can operate confidently within them.
Led by experienced finance & procurement professionals
Brooke Eamer – Senior Consultant - Finance & Procurement
Brooke Eamer
Our Finance & Procurement division is led by Brooke Eamer, a senior recruitment specialist with a formal qualification in Human Resources and deep experience recruiting across government finance and procurement functions.
Brooke works closely with CFOs, Directors of Corporate Services, Procurement Managers and HR leaders to understand not just the role requirements, but the broader organisational context — governance structures, financial delegations, internal capability and political sensitivity.
Her consultative approach ensures candidates are assessed not only for technical competence, but for their ability to operate effectively within public-sector environments.
