Consultant - Corporate Affairs

Bring your corporate affairs experience to work that shapes Australia's resources and energy future.

Corporate Affairs Australia (CAA) is looking for a capable Consultant with a few years' experience in corporate affairs, communications, engagement, policy or a related field to join our growing Perth-based practice.

We work with companies developing responsible, forward-looking projects that are critical to Australia's future prosperity. To help clients build trust and deliver outcomes, CAA delivers integrated corporate affairs support - combining government relations, community and Indigenous engagement, communications, and design.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on consulting role in our client-delivery team for someone ready to take the next step in their corporate affairs career. You'll work across diverse clients and complex projects, contributing to strategy, stakeholder engagement, communications and advice that helps companies build trust and deliver responsible outcomes.

You will:

• Contribute to corporate affairs strategies, stakeholder engagement plans and communications programs for clients in the energy and resources sectors.
• Prepare clear, high-quality written materials including briefings, presentations, submissions, stakeholder communications and social content.
• Support the planning and delivery of engagement with government, community, industry and other project stakeholders.
• Work directly with CAA's Executive, developing your consulting capability while contributing to high-quality, client-focused advice.

Why join CAA?

At CAA, you'll be part of a specialist consultancy where your work is visible, varied and connected to some of the most significant issues facing Australia's energy and resources sectors.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Work closely with senior advisers and clients on live projects, not just internal support tasks.
• Build practical consulting skills across strategy, government relations, stakeholder engagement and communications.
• Contribute to projects that require clear thinking, trust-building and responsible engagement with communities, industry and government.
• Develop your judgement and advisory capability in a supportive team that values quality, initiative and collaboration.
• Grow with a business that is expanding its role in the sectors shaping Australia's economic future.

About You

You are an early- to mid-career professional who writes clearly, thinks commercially and brings sound judgement to complex issues. You are comfortable working with clients and stakeholders, managing competing priorities and turning information into practical, well-considered advice.

You will ideally have two to five years' experience in one or more areas such as corporate affairs, government relations, political advisory, stakeholder or community engagement, communications, policy, journalism, consulting, approvals or industry advocacy.

Experience or a strong interest in Australian or Western Australian politics, approvals, resources, energy or infrastructure will be highly regarded, as will the confidence to contribute ideas, build trusted relationships and take ownership of work with senior support.
