[Hiring] Management Consultant @RSM US LLP

Role Description

We are seeking a Management Consultant to join our advisory team, primarily supporting Federal Government projects, while also working across a broader client portfolio.

This role is ideal for someone with around 3 years’ experience who is ready to step into a highly client-facing consulting role. You will take ownership of defined workstreams, support junior team members, and deliver high-quality outcomes across government and non-government engagements.

You will join a team that is large enough to make a real impact, yet small enough to ensure you are supported, developed, and visible. While the role is Canberra-based, remote or flexible arrangements will be considered for the right candidate.

Key Responsibilities

• Work with clients to identify business issues and root causes
• Contribute to and manage government projects or defined work packages
• Develop project plans, schedules, and deliverables
• Produce high-quality reports, tender responses, and client-ready outputs
• Apply government compliance, assurance, and governance frameworks
• Design and contribute to practical, fit-for-purpose solutions
• Conduct research and analysis to support decision-making
• Support and coach junior team members
• Build strong client relationships through clear, confident communication
• Participate in business development, networking, and relationship building
• Work across government and non-government clients

Qualifications

• 3 years’ experience in consulting, advisory, or a similar role
• Experience working on Federal Government projects (consulting or internal government roles)
• Understanding of government environments, compliance, and assurance
• Exposure to project, change, or business analytics methodologies (e.g. PRINCE2, Agile, Scrum, MSP, P3M3, Prosci)
• Experience producing client-ready reports and deliverables
• Baseline security clearance or eligibility to obtain one
• Tertiary qualification in Business, Public Sector, Project Management, IT, Data, or a related discipline

Key Attributes

• Excellent client-facing communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and structured thinking
• Ability to work autonomously and collaboratively
• Strong problem-solving, research, and analytical skills
• Proactive mindset and commitment to continuous improvement

Citizenship Requirement

Due to the nature of our government work and potential security clearance requirements, Australian or New Zealand citizenship is essential.
