Come shape the future of education with us.

Compass is one of the world's leading education technology platforms, trusted by more than 5,000 schools across Australia, the UK, and Ireland. As a high-growth scale-up backed by significant investment and a global mission, we're on a mission to deliver integrated software solutions that simplify school operations and improve teaching, learning and engagement.

We are expanding into a new strategic customer segment and need sharp, driven consultants to lead complex software projects with our most high-impact clients. This role is ideal for individuals with 2–4+ years' experience in consulting or enterprise software delivery, who are excited by client-facing work, operational problem-solving and mission-critical outcomes.

About the Role

- Analysing workflows and driving process transformation using data and insight to optimise school operations.
- Mentoring junior consultants and collaborating across projects to continuously improve our implementation playbooks.
- Contributing to strategic growth, including playbook development, new segment design, and future-facing delivery capabilities.

You're commercially sharp, operationally disciplined, and energised by solving real-world problems with real-world impact. You may be currently at a Big 4 firm, boutique consultancy, or a high-growth SaaS company and ready for more ownership, faster delivery, and more meaningful work.

You'll bring:

- 2–4+ years' experience in consulting, enterprise software delivery and/or strategic project implementation.
- Proven ability to manage complex projects across multiple stakeholders and timelines.
- A structured problem-solving approach and strong attention to detail.
- Experience working directly with clients, including executive-level stakeholders.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a confident and calm client presence.

- Exposure to or interest in education, public sector, or enterprise transformation.
- (Bonus) Experience with implementation frameworks, change management, and process redesign.
