Consultant to Manager

Location: Canberra

Contract Type: Permanent

MinterEllison is one of Australia's largest independent law and consulting firms, bringing together 200 years of experience and market-leading legal and consulting expertise to deliver industry-informed, independent advice across strategy, regulation, risk, technology, and workforce. We are not a traditional consultancy, nor an extension of a legal team. As independent, highly specialised advisors, we bridge the gap between legal and consulting, helping clients navigate complexity with clarity, confidence, and sustainable momentum.

Our promise—"Creating Momentum Together: Decide, Protect, Evolve"—captures our collaborative, outcome-led approach. We work where the stakes are highest, supporting clients in sectors defined by disruption, complexity, and public accountability. Our clients are decision-makers responsible for steering institutions, managing risk, and achieving long-term, sustainable growth.

At MinterEllison you will join an integrated, high-performing team that values excellence, diversity of thought, curiosity, and inclusion. We empower our people to achieve their ambitions—with the support, trust, and autonomy to grow their careers in meaningful ways.

Our ICT Commercial & Financial Analytics team is at the forefront of delivering data-driven insights, advanced statistical analysis, and ICT benchmarking to help clients make informed commercial and technology investment decisions. You will have the opportunity to work on industry-leading mandates for top-tier clients, applying rigorous analytics and benchmarking methodologies to address real-world challenges.

We support sustainable ways of working regarding how, when and where you work and offer a wide range of social, financial and health benefits (see )
