Projects may range from developing new membership propositions, to conducting commercial diagnostics and shaping transformation initiatives for BUs, to conducting analysis and making well-reasoned recommendations on major decisions like investments in new businesses or capabilities, to collaborating with cross-functional teams to stand up new business opportunities   

We offer a hybrid work arrangement where you can work across our Sydney CBD and Sydney Olympic Park offices as well as some work from home, as required and agreed for the role.

  • Proven ability to lead projects and/or workstreams independently, build relationships quickly and influence stakeholders at all levels  
  • A proactive and entrepreneurial approach to developing opportunities; persistence and creativity to find solutions to challenges along the way  
  • Enjoys being “hands-on” and fluent in the strategy technical toolkit – Excel modelling, data visualization, sharp Powerpoint storytelling, AI for research/analysis/thought partnership  
  • Ability to “porpoise” between the granular analysis and big-picture recommendations, with excellent structured communication across all mediums  
  • Collaborative and curious, with a strong growth mindset and ability to absorb and act on feedback
