We are seeking a Senior Manager to partner with strategic Energy & Utilities clients across Australia.
This is a high‐impact, client‐facing role for a consulting professional who thrives in ambiguity, can translate complex utility operating realities into clear choices, and can connect transformation to measurable outcomes.
The focus of the role is re‐imagining Source-to-Contract and Procure-to-Pay to improve cycle time, governance, supplier experience and value realisation during major CAPEX and OPEX programs.
The role is ideal for a leader who combines structured problem solving, crisp communication, executive storytelling and strong organisational change awareness—alongside practical delivery discipline.
Technology platforms such as SAP are important enabling capabilities, but the role is outcomes‐led rather than system‐led—measured by material business impact, executive confidence and sustained adoption.
What You Will Do
Own outcome‐led transformation agendas
Own problem definition and success criteria for complex transformation agendas.
Structure ambiguity into clear decision points, strategic options, and executive trade‐offs.
Identify and quantify value pools across productivity, risk reduction, experience and cost‐to‐serve.
Work across: Sourcing, contracting and category strategies, Requisitioning, approvals, receipting and invoice processing.
And: Supplier onboarding, performance and risk management, Spend visibility, controls and compliance reporting.
Lead with a consulting mindset
Apply structured, hypothesis‐led problem solving to diagnose constraints and prioritise value.




Facilitate executive workshops to align stakeholders on future‐state outcomes, sequencing and trade‐offs.
Develop executive‐ready artefacts: option assessments, road maps, investment cases and value realisation frameworks.
Demonstrate executive gravitas and cultural awareness when engaging senior operational leaders and governance forums.
Drive Lean, automation and AI‐enabled redesign
Re‐design ways of working using Lean, Six Sigma and value‐stream thinking to eliminate waste and rework.
Ensure automation, AI and digital platforms are applied only where they materially improve outcomes.
Anchor redesigned processes to experience measures (employee and customer where applicable) and measurable KPIs.
Enable deal success and delivery confidence
Shape locally relevant value propositions and solution storylines that stand up to Board and regulatory scrutiny.
Partner with delivery teams to ensure intent translates into adoption, governance discipline and realised benefits.
Operate as the bridge between strategy, sales and delivery—ensuring credibility from pitch through execution.
Australia‐specific priorities
CAPEX procurement and contractor supply chains under strong probity and audit expectations.
Cycle time reduction through simplification,



delegated authority and straight‐through processing.
Supplier collaboration, risk controls and transparency across spend and contracts.
What We Are Looking For
Experience & background
*****+ years' experience in strategy / management consulting or consulting‐led transformation roles within complex organisations.
Demonstrated leadership of large workstreams or programs with measurable outcomes (productivity, experience, risk, cost).
Experience operating credibly at senior executive level in regulated or publicly scrutinised environments.
Consulting mindset & executive presence

Exceptional communication and facilitation skills; able to build executive alignment and decision clarity.
