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 national travel as required to client sites and team gatherings to maintain key internal and external relationships. 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 Director role Help shape a nationally significant initiative from the ground up. This role will suit someone who enjoys building as much as advising and who is excited by the opportunity to help shape work that could influence an entire sector. You’ll work closely with CEOs, Boards, funders,



government stakeholders and enterprise leaders to tackle challenges that sit at the intersection of commercial performance, inclusion and systems change. As a Director, you'll be responsible for steering disability enterprises through growth and transformation, from clarifying strategic direction and assessing current market opportunities through to pursuing acquisitions, strengthening commercial performance and scaling employment outcomes. Success Profile You’ll likely thrive in this role if you: Build trusted relationships with CEOs, Boards and executive teams, often becoming involved before opportunities are formally defined. Draw on a well-rounded strategy, transformation and commercial skillset developed through consulting, corporate strategy, M&A;, private equity, growth or similarly complex environments. Identify and pursue growth, acquisition, partnership or transformation opportunities, helping organisations navigate both risk and opportunity. Lead complex initiatives from early exploration through to implementation, translating analysis into decisions, action and measurable outcomes. Demonstrate a track record of creating significant commercial uplift, organisational growth, social impact, or a combination of all three. Guide organisations through significant change, ideally within large and complex social-sector, human services, disability, education or community-based organisations, balancing commercial realities with stakeholder confidence and long-term impact.
