Associate Director - Public Sector

  • Full-time
  • Office Location: Melbourne
  • Department: Restructuring Public Sector

Company Description

Since 2002, KordaMentha has been entrusted with some of the region’s most complex and sensitive commercial situations. We are an advisory and investment firm at heart, helping corporations, financiers, lawyers, private investors and government clients to grow, protect and recover value.

But we are so much more than that.

Fiercely independent, strategically local, and with a bias for action to get things done, we focus on doing what is right by our clients, our people, and the wider community. Our diverse experience – from finance and real estate to law enforcement and the c-suite – enables us to make a difference for our clients across financial crime, forensic, performance improvement, real estate, public sector and restructuring.

We provide bold and impactful solutions delivering growth, certainty, and value. There is strength in difference. And we are different.

Job Description

Our team supports Government to make the challenging strategic decisions that shape the future of our State and Nation. By bringing a structured, rigorous, and analytical approach, we enable the public service to solve the most complex and difficult of problems. 
We will nurture promising mid-career individuals who want to contribute to a stronger and more prosperous Australia. 


Are you someone that enjoys the problem-solving and client-facing nature of consulting, but you are searching for more purpose in your work and want to embark on a career that can enable you to make real and meaningful impact? If so, this opportunity is for you. 
Our team plays a key role in working with Government to deliver complex pieces of work. 


What does this look like? We work on engagements to realign investment to public purpose and help government departments to restructure and direct resources to the highest public value. 


Your Opportunity 
In response to sustained growth, we seek mid-career consultants who are tired of the formulaic career path of a traditional consulting firm. 
Here, you’ll be motivated by real impact. You will experience hands-on apprenticeship with Partners who pride themselves in being deeply involved in the work. You’ll contribute to the growth of the business and get exposure to senior leaders in Government. 
You will develop your expertise and understand how to effect positive change that your friends, family and community will see each day. 

 
About You 
The ideal candidate for this unique opportunity will bring: 

  • 5 - 8 years of consulting or advisory experience (ideally with a strength in Supply Chain, Analytics and Operating Model space) 

  • Excellent results in a tertiary degree of your choice 

  • Ability to solve unstructured or ambiguous problems through application of logical and systematic problem solving techniques 

  • Executive-level communication skills including the ability to synthesise complex information in both oral and written formats to inform fast decision making by senior business leaders 

  • Strong leadership and coaching skills, with experience managing teams and engagements 

  • Excellent relationship building skills and ability to collaborate effectively with diverse client and internal stakeholders 

You should be willing to contribute to the business development activities of the practice and, in time, to develop your own fields of specialisation and network of professional contacts. You thrive on a challenge, display excellent communication and negotiation skills, and are motivated to deliver the highest standards of client service. 
In return, we offer a dynamic, team oriented, flexible work environment, ongoing learning opportunities through the KordaMentha Business School, competitive remuneration packages, and the opportunity to work with, and learn from, leading experts in the country. 


What We Offer
At KordaMentha, we offer a dynamic, team-oriented, and flexible work environment, providing ongoing learning opportunities, competitive remuneration packages, and the chance to collaborate with and learn from the best in the industry. 
We believe in applying a different mindset at the core of everything we do, fuelled by the diversity of our team members' experiences and backgrounds.
