  • contributing to the development of robust and comprehensive proposal documents, including leading the development of project methodologies;
  • developing and fostering relationships with clients and contacts, in particular building upon relationships established over the course of projects; and 
  • supporting the leadership team to develop new business opportunities through preparation of client briefings, proposals, and other marketing materials. 

This is a full-time position, to be based either in Brisbane or Perth, however, part time will be considered for the right candidate. We will tailor the role and remuneration depending on seniority, experience and qualifications of the most suitable candidate.
