This is the operational engine room.

  • Clear mandate to grow to 6–8 as the first milestone
  • Supported by large, mature CLM teams in NSW and VIC
  • Brisbane sits within a wider office of 25+ consultants
  • No expectation to “win” work, focus is delivery and people

  • Strong technical base with confidence running projects
  • Approachable, practical leadership style
  • Experience mentoring juniors and managing workflow
