Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. And we’re back (in a big way).

We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. For us, flying is so much more than simply taking off and landing (although we understand that is quite important). It’s about going the extra mile, in the air and on the ground, to create authentic experiences that put our guests firmly at the heart of everything we do.

This is an exciting opportunity to use your Management Consulting skill-set, to independently run interesting projects across the business and interface with senior executives. Your overall objective is to help drive the development of the Group Strategy. You will assist with cross-functional projects throughout the business, which are key to rebuilding a highly successful organisation. Ideally, you will be an ex-Management Consultant, or you will have relevant Strategy experience.
- Help to define and refine what it will take for the new Virgin Australia to be successful, how we best position ourselves for our guests and how we will measure up against the competition
- Provide ad-hoc decision support in high stakes, high priority business decisions
- Taking large data sets and using analysis to develop insights
- Construct Senior Management/Executive Level presentation materials
- Independently run projects and smaller-medium sized engagements internally, partnering with other stakeholders
- Communicate succinctly and effectively, influence across all levels
- Help embed the new organisational strategy and support in the continued strategy development efforts, staying on top of the rapidly changing landscape
- Support initiative prioritisation within the team and broader organisation

- Tertiary qualification in a relevant field
