  • Lead end-to-end delivery of consulting projects, from solution design and planning to execution and value realisation.
  • Contribute to pre-sales activities, including proposals, client workshops, and solutioning deals.
  • Apply advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI to design innovative, scalable solutions that drive business impact.
  • Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams across strategy, technology, and industry to deliver integrated transformation outcomes.
  • Mentor and lead teams of consultants and data scientists, building capability and fostering a culture of excellence.
  • Bring strong commercial acumen-ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and with tangible client value.

What You’ll Bring

  • 12+ years of professional experience, with at least 6–8 years applying data science and analytics in complex, business-facing environments.
  • Demonstrated expertise in machine learning, predictive modelling, optimisation, and advanced analytics, with strong proficiency in tools such as Python, R, SQL, Spark, and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
  • Proven consulting experience, with the ability to frame business problems, design solutions, and communicate insights to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Industry exposure to mining clients (or similar asset-heavy industries) and an understanding of the opportunities for digital and data-driven transformation.
  • A track record of contributing to business development, including pre-sales, solutioning, and client proposals.
  • Strong commercial and delivery acumen-able to scope, lead, and execute engagements successfully.
  • Leadership and people management skills, with experience guiding diverse teams and developing talent.
  • Tertiary qualifications in Data Science, Analytics, Engineering, or a related discipline; postgraduate qualifications (MBA, Masters) are highly regarded.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Work with leading organisations on projects that shape the future of industries through data and AI.
  • Join a collaborative culture that values innovation, inclusion, and continuous learning.
  • Access world-class training, certifications, and leadership development programs.
  • Be part of a team that blends strategic consulting with cutting-edge data science to solve problems that matter.
  • We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
