About the company
Newton is one of the UK’s leading consulting firms, known for a data-driven, results-focused approach and a distinctive commercial model: our fees are contingent on delivering agreed outcomes.
As Newton expands into Australia, this is a unique opportunity to join at a pivotal stage of growth. You’ll work alongside talented people from diverse backgrounds, tackling complex challenges across the Public and Defence & Infrastructure sectors, and going as deep as it takes to make a real impact for our clients.

•
Working within a small team of consultants, analysing data and mapping processes to identify opportunities for operational improvement
•
Supporting the design and delivery of a workstream, under the guidance of senior colleagues, ensuring alignment to client outcomes and programme goals
•
Working on site in different Australia locations, day to day with client counterparts to review progress, problem-solve and support performance improvement, while building lasting client capability.
•
Supporting the creation of clear, compelling and data-driven stories for stakeholders - from frontline managers through to team leads - and helping remove blockers to progress
•
Supporting delivery and resourcing plans in collaboration with senior team members to keep workstreams on track
•
Identifying opportunities for future work within your client area
