About August Consulting

August Consulting is a leading Australian procurement and supply chain professional services firm working with clients nationally. For more than eight years we’ve helped improve business performance by designing and implementing tailored procurement and supply chain solutions.

We bring an analytical, commercial approach to everything we do. Alongside project-based engagements, Procurement as a Service is a core offering: we partner with clients as an extension of their team, providing ongoing procurement expertise, implementing improvements and delivering measurable value.

The role

This is a senior leadership role. You’ll be the primary point of accountability for a portfolio of client accounts, owning delivery quality, team performance, client satisfaction and financial results, including revenue and gross profit. The role is not tied to a specific location.

What you’ll own

• Client accounts: Act as primary lead for multiple clients, building trusted, long-term relationships with senior executives and proactively identifying opportunities to create value.
• Delivery: Lead multiple project engagements and ongoing Procurement as a Service programs at once, from opportunity analysis and strategy through to sourcing, negotiation, implementation and benefits reporting, on time, in scope and on budget.
• Commercial performance: Own revenue and gross profit across your accounts, manage budget versus forecast and utilisation, and shape resourcing and pricing to optimise profitability.
• Your team: Build, lead and develop consultants, procurement specialists and analysts, including recruitment, onboarding, development plans, performance feedback and workforce planning.
• Growth: Expand existing accounts and win new clients by building your professional network, representing August in the market and generating new business opportunities. Contribute to proposals, pricing and scoping, and help strengthen August’s methodologies and market presence.

How success is measured

We’re clear about what great looks like. You’ll be measured on:

• Client satisfaction: Strong client feedback and repeat engagements.
• Commercial results: Achieving gross profit targets across your accounts, with disciplined management of budget, forecast, utilisation and cost.
• Delivery: Projects delivered on time, within scope and to quality standards.
• Team performance: Engagement and retention, successful recruitment and onboarding, and capability growth against individual plans.
• Business growth: Account growth, new client wins and proposal success.

What you’ll bring

• Typically 7–10+ years’ experience in procurement, strategic sourcing or category management, ideally in professional services or a client-facing environment.
• Proven experience leading multiple client engagements and managing complex senior stakeholder environments.
• A track record of owning project delivery, budgets and commercial outcomes.
• Experience building and leading professional services teams, including recruitment, onboarding and capability development.
• Strong analytical and commercial judgement, with the ability to turn data into insights and clear recommendations.
• Confidence and credibility at senior executive level, with excellent written and verbal communication.

Experience in healthcare or aged care would be highly valued.

Why August Consulting?

You’ll join an experienced, supportive team that enjoys solving problems and seeing the impact of its work. We offer high-profile clients, variety across projects, flexible working arrangements, competitive remuneration and genuine influence over how our business grows.

We’re also investing in how data, analytics and AI can strengthen our work, while continuing to develop the judgement, relationships and leadership our clients value.
