You will lead workstreams on strategic projects across group businesses, applying structured problem-solving, analytical rigour and effective stakeholder engagement to deliver high-impact recommendations.

• Plan and deliver annual strategy offsites for executive and Board
• Facilitate the annual planning process and QBRs (where applicable) in partnership with Group Finance, while supporting divisional leaders to refine strategic priorities and develop effective and aligned OKRs
• Lead strategic projects from conception to execution, to drive growth and improve commercial performance across the NRMA group. Projects may range from developing new membership propositions, to conducting commercial diagnostics and shaping transformation initiatives for BUs, to conducting analysis and making well-reasoned recommendations on major decisions like investments in new businesses or capabilities, to collaborating with cross-functional teams to stand up new business opportunities

We offer a hybrid work arrangement where you can work across our Sydney CBD and Sydney Olympic Park offices as well as some work from home, as required and agreed for the role.

• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or relevant postgraduate qualification desirable
• 5-10+ years in corporate strategy and/or consulting, ideally with exposure to transport, energy, tourism and/or consumer industries
• Strong analytical and commercial acumen, with experience in key domains like growth strategy, M&A, commercial transformation, digital strategy and transformation, and product innovation
• Proven ability to lead projects and/or workstreams independently, build relationships quickly and influence stakeholders at all levels
• A proactive and entrepreneurial approach to developing opportunities; persistence and creativity to find solutions to challenges along the way
• Enjoys being 'hands-on' and fluent in the strategy technical toolkit - Excel modelling, data visualization, sharp Powerpoint storytelling, AI for research/analysis/thought partnership
• Ability to 'porpoise' between the granular analysis and big-picture recommendations, with excellent structured communication across all mediums
• Collaborative and curious, with a strong growth mindset and ability to absorb and act on feedback
