Management Consultant

Canberra Permanent AU$150,000 - AU$180,000 per year View Job Description
This is an opportunity for experienced consultants who want to move beyond the traditional consulting model and work in a more senior, intellectually rigorous environment.Rather than operating through large delivery teams and leverage-heavy structures, the firm deploys small, highly experienced teams to work directly with senior government leaders on complex strategic issues.
  • 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.
