Job Description

About the Business

Our client is a highly established and respected cost management and commercial advisory consultancy with a strong presence across the Australian construction and property market. Operating nationally, the business is known for partnering with sophisticated private and institutional clients on complex, high-value developments across multiple asset classes.

With a reputation built on technical excellence, trusted client relationships, and long-term strategic thinking, the business is now entering a new phase of growth. As part of this evolution, they are seeking a senior leader to play a pivotal role in shaping the future direction, performance, and capability of the Brisbane operation.

The Opportunity

This is a true Director-level appointment with full P&L responsibility and accountability for the commercial performance of the Brisbane business. You will operate as a senior leader within the national structure, owning end-to-end client engagement while driving sustainable growth through new business, strategic partnerships, and service-line expansion.

The role goes well beyond project delivery. You will be instrumental in shaping business strategy, developing market-facing propositions, and introducing new client systems, tools, intellectual property and ways of working that enhance value, differentiation, and scalability.

Why This Role Is Different

This opportunity is designed for a commercially minded leader who wants genuine influence. You will sit at the intersection of strategy, operations, and client leadership — with the autonomy to build, innovate, and leave a lasting mark on the business.

You will have the platform to grow a high-performing team, deepen key client relationships, and directly influence how the consultancy operates, delivers, and competes in the market. For the right individual, this is a pathway to long-term executive leadership and equity-style influence.

• Full P&L ownership for the Brisbane business, including revenue growth, margin performance, forecasting, and cost control

• End-to-end client engagement across origination, delivery, and long-term account management

• Developing and embedding new client-facing systems, processes, tools and IP to improve delivery efficiency and commercial outcomes

• Providing leadership and mentorship to senior staff, fostering a high-performance, accountable culture

• Acting as a senior advisor to clients across the full cost and commercial lifecycle of major projects

• Representing the business in the market as a trusted industry leader and strategic partner

About You

• Proven experience operating at Director, Associate Director or Executive level within a consultancy or professional services environment

• Demonstrated track record of P&L management and commercial accountability

• Strong capability in client relationship management, business development, and strategic growth

• Commercially astute, with the ability to balance technical excellence and business performance

• Experience introducing or scaling systems, frameworks, tools or IP within a professional services business

• Confident communicator with gravitas at board, executive, and investor level

• Relevant tertiary qualifications and professional accreditation (AIQS, RICS or equivalent preferred)

What’s On Offer

• Salary package up to $300,000 plus performance-based bonuses

• Executive-level role with genuine autonomy, influence, and strategic scope

• Clear pathway to long-term executive progression and broader national leadership

• Opportunity to shape systems, strategy, culture, and market positioning

• Flexible working arrangements within a mature, outcome-driven environment
