We are seeking a senior consulting leader to own and grow the  SURE (Solar, Utilities, Resources Mining & Energy)  within a high-performance  Technology Transformation  practice.

This is a  solution-led portfolio leadership  role combining  origination, solution shaping, commercial ownership, and executive delivery governance.

This role suits a builder-led consulting leader with real technical credibility who can front senior clients, create demand through differentiated propositions, and convert opportunities into  recognised revenue within the financial year.
Key Outcomes
  • Build and deliver a high-quality pipeline and achieve  USD $3M+ recognised revenue within the FY  (not just signed deals).
  • Expand existing client footprint while selectively opening new opportunities where we can win on solution differentiation and delivery reliability.
  • Strengthen our SHORE reputation through high-impact delivery outcomes and visible thought leadership.
 
Responsibilities
Portfolio Growth and Commercial Ownership
  • Own portfolio strategy and annual plan across Energy, Utilities, Resources and Critical Infrastructure.
  • Lead origination: identify opportunities, build pursuit strategy, qualify, shape and close.
  • Carry a revenue number and drive opportunities with sufficient runway to be recognised within the FY.
  • Partner with industry vertical leaders who hold account relationships, while you lead with solution differentiation and executive credibility.
Solution-led Consulting and Executive Engagement
  • Run executive discovery and problem framing with CIO/CTO/CISO/CDO and transformation leaders.
  • Lead solution shaping across areas such as:
    • Cloud and platform modernisation
    • Cyber security and resilience (incl. regulated/critical infrastructure contexts)
    • Data platforms, integration, analytics and AI enablement
    • Enterprise architecture and operating model uplift
    • Advanced engineering and modern delivery practices
  • Present and defend the solution with confidence, including commercials, delivery approach, risk posture, and measurable outcomes.
Delivery Governance and Performance
  • Provide senior oversight through mobilisation and delivery: steering committees, risk management, scope control, stakeholder alignment.
  • Ensure delivery excellence and protect margin and reputation; course-correct early when risk emerges.
  • Build high-performing multi-disciplinary teams across Australia and broader APAC as needed.
Innovation and Thought Leadership
  • Contribute to quarterly thought leadership (internal minimum; external where appropriate) aligned to SHORE priorities.
  • Help develop repeatable propositions, accelerators, and differentiated approaches that strengthen win-rates and delivery outcomes.
  • Champion the innovation/performance balance: experimentation where it creates value, reliability where it protects outcomes.
 
What We're Looking For
Required
  • 15-20+ years in consulting / technology transformation / enterprise delivery with senior leadership accountability.
  • Proven track record carrying a consulting number (pipeline + conversion), with evidence of revenue impact.
  • Strong experience in SHORE environments: energy, utilities, resources, mining, critical infrastructure, or adjacent ecosystem providers.
  • Technical credibility across at least two of: cloud, cyber, enterprise architecture, data engineering/integration, AI strategy/enablement, advanced engineering.
  • Executive presence and ability to lead complex stakeholder environments with clarity and pace.
Strongly Preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to create and sell differentiated propositions (not commodity SI positioning).
  • Experience operating in regulated environments (e.g., SOCI, safety-critical operations, OT/IT convergence, cyber resilience).
  • Examples of thought leadership: white papers, publications, conference speaking, internal practice-building, IP/accelerators.
Not a fit if
  • You are a pure relationship seller without technical depth.
  • You are a delivery-only leader without commercial ownership.
  • You prefer PMO-style control without immersion in content and problem-solving.
