What you will do in your role

We see you working predominantly in our leadership and coaching practice which is the fastest growing practice in Australia and you'll be asked to do three things – develop client relationships, design solutions and deliver our experiences and programmes. 

Variety is key in all our roles.  You’ll work on multiple projects at one time, across different industries, and with different internal teams. Some of these projects you will be leading. 

The rest of your time is spent creating the amazing concepts and experiences we build for our clients and supporting them in creating lasting and meaningful change. Interviewing leaders, conducting research and analysis, testing and launching programmes and achieving amazing results for our clients. 

We are an entrepreneurial organisation and look for team members who can roll up their sleeves with a “no task is too small” mindset. Our teams comprise BTSers of all backgrounds and being an inclusive thinker/doer with colleagues and clients is essential for anyone at BTS. You’ll laugh a lot and have a lot of fun…it’s one of our core values! And this is all done in a team-based setting where our entrepreneurial culture of freedom and responsibility empowers you to contribute from your first day.

You'll travel approximately 10% of the time. Currently we are doing our work virtually, but in the (hopefully not too distant) future, we will return to doing some in-person workshops, and your travel could increase to 30-40% at that time. We offer flexible working and the opportunity to mix your work to be from home and the office.

What we offer:

• A culture comprised of diverse, global teams who have a passion for collaboration and client service;
• Competitive compensation and benefits package
• Exposure to developing and delivering complex leadership development solutions for large corporations from a variety of industries
