Description

Exciting opportunity for growth and development!
Making real impact with experience leaders
About Our Client
We are partnering with a highly respected, senior-led advisory firm that works directly with Australian federal and state governments on some of the country's most complex and nationally significant policy challenges.

Job Description
As a Management Consultant, you will play a key role in delivering high-impact advisory work for senior government stakeholders.

Responsibilities will include:

Leading structured problem-solving across complex policy and strategic challenges
Conducting economic, policy and regulatory analysis
Developing strategic recommendations and advisory reports for senior decision-makers
Supporting the design and implementation of major government initiatives
Engaging directly with departmental leadership and senior policy stakeholders
Working closely with highly experienced advisors including former departmental and defence leaders
Unlike large consulting firms, you will have direct exposure to clients and senior decision-makers from day one.
The Successful Applicant
This role is well suited to consultants currently working in:

Big 4 consulting firms
Tier-1 strategy firms
Public sector advisory practices

We are particularly interested in individuals with experience in:

Government and public sector consulting

You will bring:

Strong analytical and structured problem-solving capability
Excellent written communication and briefing skills
Ability to operate comfortably in ambiguous and complex environments
A genuine interest in shaping public policy outcomes

What's on Offer
For consultants coming from larger firms, this opportunity offers:

Direct exposure to senior government decision-makers
Greater ownership of work and intellectual contribution
Less hierarchy and fewer layers of internal review
Work that directly influences national policy outcomes
A more agile, senior-led consulting environment

It is an opportunity to continue advising government - but with greater influence, deeper policy engagement, and a more meaningful consulting model.
