Shape systems change in Australia’s employment sector

WhiteBox is seeking experienced strategy, transformation, corporate development and M&A; professionals to help shape the next chapter of Social Enterprise in Australia.

We're anticipating a significant pipeline of work spanning strategy, transformation, business growth, partnerships, acquisitions, investment and systems change.

The work will be ambitious. The path won't always be defined. The potential impact could be a game-changer that could transform the lives of people living with disability, and for the right people, an opportunity to bring world-class capability to work that matters.

This is an opportunity to join at the beginning of this exciting work and can be based remotely with accessibility to Meanjin/Brisbane, Eora/Sydney or Naarm/Melbourne preferred so you can be a key part of our team. Occasional travel is required to support the relational nature of the work.

Why WhiteBox?

Most organisations focus on improving the system they operate within. WhiteBox exists to help build what comes next.

Working alongside disability enterprises, social enterprises, governments, funders and industry leaders, you'll help develop new models, create new opportunities and influence how inclusive employment evolves in Australia.

Success isn't measured by presentations or reports.

It's measured by organisations transformed, opportunities created, barriers removed and change that lasts.

The Strategy Analyst role

Work on problems that matter.

As an Analyst, you'll contribute to projects spanning strategy, commercial analysis, organisational transformation and enterprise development.

You'll work alongside experienced leaders from consulting, business and the social enterprise sector, developing your skills while contributing to work with tangible economic and social outcomes.

This role is ideal for someone with solid analytical capability, intellectual curiosity and a desire to learn.

Success Profile

You'll likely thrive in this role if you:

- Have experience conducting research, analysis or problem-solving that has informed recommendations, business cases, strategic decisions or project outcomes.





- Draw on strong analytical capability developed through consulting, research, policy, commercial, government, for-purpose or similarly complex environments.

- Can synthesise information from multiple sources, identifying patterns, insights and opportunities that others may not immediately see.

- Are comfortable working on ambiguous problems where the answer isn't known upfront and the path forward needs to be defined through structured thinking and investigation.

- Contribute confidently in workshops, stakeholder discussions and project teams, while remaining genuinely curious about different perspectives and experiences.

- Produce high-quality work with strong attention to detail, balancing rigour with the ability to work at pace.

- Are motivated by learning, collaboration and contributing to meaningful outcomes, rather than being the smartest person in the room.

Who We're Looking For

We're interested in people from backgrounds including:

- Management Consulting

- Strategy & Transformation

- Corporate Strategy

- Corporate Development

- M&A; and Transaction Advisory

- Public Sector Advisory

- Economic Development

- Innovation and Ventures

- Business Growth and Market Development

Experience in for purpose or NFPs are essential – you will know how to lead effectively in our sector.

What matters most is your ability to navigate complexity, build trusted relationships and turn ambitious ideas into practical outcomes.

We're particularly interested in people who are excited by the opportunity to work alongside organisations navigating significant change, and who recognise that meaningful transformation is built through partnership, trust and persistence.

How We Work

The strongest contributors at WhiteBox combine ambition with humility,



and expertise with curiosity.

They align without compromise to our values – the bold vision of ‘Moonshot’; the pragmatism of ‘Figure-outable’; the co-creation in ‘Better Together’; and the data drive of ‘Evidence Matters’.

They're intellectually rigorous and commercially minded, but just as comfortable listening as they are leading.

They know that trust is often a prerequisite for transformation.

They ask questions before offering answers.

They are comfortable leading when needed and stepping back when others have the expertise.

And they're motivated by creating lasting impact rather than personal visibility.

Join us at an interesting moment

Some of our best work is already underway and some of our most exciting opportunities are still taking shape.

If you're looking for work that is intellectually challenging, commercially rigorous and socially meaningful, we'd love to hear from you. We're assessing as we go, so don't delay in getting your application in.

- What's motivating you to apply for this role?

- A brief overview of your experience and how it aligns with the role.

- Describe a piece of analysis, research or problem-solving work that directly influenced a strategic decision, business case or organisational outcome. What was the problem, how did you approach the analysis, what insights emerged, and how were your recommendations used?
