R&D Consultant – Turn Innovation Into Impact
Are you commercially curious, naturally analytical, and energised by uncovering how Australia's most innovative companies actually work behind the scenes?
This is your chance to step into a boutique advisory firm that partners with startups, scaleups, and ASX-listed leaders—helping them accelerate growth through smart, strategic use of R&D tax incentives.
Join a close-knit, high-performing team that blends deep technical expertise with big-picture commercial thinking.
You'll work with businesses building new technologies, engineering breakthroughs, and life-changing scientific solutions—real innovation that moves industries forward.

No two days will look the same.
One moment you're interviewing founders and engineers about cutting-edge projects; the next, you're interpreting legislation, drafting narratives, or modelling costs.

Analytical mindset, love of detail, and confidence with numbers
Natural curiosity, initiative, and hunger for continuous learning and growth
