Job Description

The Associate Manager sits within Sia's Health and Government practice, leading and contributing to consulting engagements that combine traditional management consulting methodology with Sia's proprietary AI-enabled delivery capability. The role requires the ability to move between strategic advisory work for executive and government stakeholders, and the technical build-out of bespoke digital tooling that underpins how Sia delivers that advice.

Key duties and responsibilities

• Lead and structure workstreams across strategy refresh, operating model design, governance advisory, and proposal development for health and government clients.
• Build client-facing deliverables including proposal decks, budget and staffing models, and executive-level reporting, drawing on direct experience with WA health and government stakeholder environments.
• Design and facilitate stakeholder engagement processes, including large-group workshops and executive off-sites, translating ambiguous problems into structured advisory outputs.
• Develop and maintain a suite of custom AI-enabled delivery tools (research automation, financial analysis, proposal generation, meeting synthesis) used across the practice to accelerate engagement delivery and quality.
• Mine and apply the firm's internal knowledge base to strengthen proposal credibility and track record positioning for new business.
• Act as a bridge between consulting delivery teams and the firm's emerging AI tooling capability.

Required skills, qualifications, and experience

• MSc in Information Systems for Business Performance (or equivalent), with prior degree-level study in a relevant discipline.
• Demonstrated experience in management consulting, spanning both traditional strategy/operating model advisory or hands-on delivery in a boutique consulting environment.
• Process and delivery certifications: Six Sigma Yellow Belt, Certified Scrum Product Owner, Certified Scrum Master.
• Direct experience with Western Australian health sector and government stakeholder engagement, including state-level departments and regional health/research institutions.
• Practical ability to build and deploy AI-assisted delivery tooling for a professional services context, not just use it as an end consumer.
