·       Stay ahead of legislative changes in the R&DTI space and translate insights into value-added strategies for clients and the business.

What's in it for you:

·       
Diverse client base
from traditional sectors to the cutting-edge, and early stage start-ups to multi-nationals

·       
Supportive, high-trust culture
that encourages initiative, ownership, and professional growth.

·       Flexible working arrangements – remote or hybrid – with a national team.

·       Competitive salary package and performance incentives.

·       Ongoing CPD, training, and industry engagement

·       Deep understanding of the
Australian R&D Tax Incentive program
and compliance requirements.

·       Strong technical writing and analytical skills

·       Experience in analysing company financial and cost reports

·       
Strong attention to detail and ability to self-check    

·       
Excellent project management skills including the ability to prioritise conflicting tasks and priorities to meet strict deadlines

·       Confident communicator with proven client-facing experience.

·       A natural collaborator with a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset.
