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
About you:
Experience & Qualifications
Essential Experience:
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
Education:
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.
Life at RSM:
RSM provides a outstanding environment to build skills and confidence and we help our people achieve their best.
We are trusted advisors to our clients, so it is critical for us to find the right people for the job on offer.
Our network of offices across Australia and around the world allow us to offer a personal service to all our clients regardless of where they are!
