Truth is, the decisions being made right now will determine the future of everything - from the local community to the sustainability of our clients’ businesses - to the entire planet. One of those decisions is: who do you decide to work for?

How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next?

The role of Manager plays an important role to deliver, grow and lead. The below brings these three themes to life.

We will wrap support around you when you need it, and empower you when you tell us you’ve got it. You will have access to some of the industries brightest minds committed to your personal development.

Grow: Growth is at the heart of our business, and bringing in new and interesting work enables our people to learn and develop. As a leader in our Adelaide team, you will support a pipeline of future opportunities, actively contribute to business development, and shape successful proposals that differentiate us the market. Although not mandatory, previous experience in Management Consulting (e.g. big 4, change consulting) will greatly support your success in this role.
