About the Business
A privately-owned, founder-backed organisation based in Perth servicing remote mining and resource operations, and plans to expand into new market locations. The business has built a loyal client base over more than a decade and is entering its next growth phase: bringing two existing operations together into one platform, then scaling hard through organic growth and acquisitions.
This is a scale up opportunity over the next 5 to 10 years.
About the Role
This is a genuine owner-operator seat, with permanent capital backing. You'll take full P&L; accountability for the business from day one, reporting directly to the founder, who is stepping back from day-to-day operations to focus on the next stage of growth for his portfolio.
In year one, you'll integrate two existing businesses into a single operation, stand up a new sales and operations structure, launch a rebrand, and hold performance steady through the transition. From there, the mandate is growth: organic expansion through a land-and-expand account model, plus integrating acquisitions as the platform scales.
Key responsibilities include:
Owning the full P&L;, strategy, and quarterly execution plan
Driving sales growth and building a structured cross-sell program across the client base
Running the end-to-end operational engine, including export and customs processes for remote and international sites
Building a category-based supply chain & procurement model to negotiate better pricing and terms
Recruiting, developing and holding accountable a lean, high-performing team
Leading systems and process improvements, including automation and AI-enabled tools




Integrating future acquisitions into the platform
About You
You're currently in a management consulting role at a top-tier or specialist firm, and you're ready to trade advisory work for a real operating seat with genuine decision rights. You've spent your career diagnosing and recommending, and you're looking for the chance to actually own the outcome.
You don't need direct industry experience or existing knowledge of the sector. What matters more is genuine appetite for ownership, resilience under pressure, and the ability to build something rather than recommend how someone else should build it.
You'll need:
A strong track record across strategy, operations, or transformation engagements, ideally with exposure to resources, industrials, or infrastructure clients
Genuine commercial instincts and the confidence to take on full P&L; ownership for the first time
Comfort with lean overhead and hands-on problem-solving, not a preference for corporate infrastructure and support functions
A bias to action and decision-making with incomplete information, rather than waiting for the perfect dataset
Real interest in up-to-date systems, automation and AI as tools to scale a business, not just concepts you've advised clients on
Willingness to be based in Perth
What's on Offer
Full P&L; ownership and genuine autonomy in how you run the business
A meaningful equity stake in the platform, structured to reward long-term value creation
Direct access to and mentorship from an experienced, hands-on founder
The chance to scale a business with the backing of permanent capital
