On the hunt for a Consultant to join our Melbourne team

Consultant - Strategic Insights

Are you someone who loves working with others to solve problems?  Are you looking for versality and the ability to develop quickly, with a supportive team around you? Are you keen to help shape some of Australia’s biggest brands and work on some of the most important social issues? And do you want to do all this as part of a diverse yet close-knit team of people who genuinely care about each other?

A role at Nature is one of those once-in-a-blue-moon opportunities that ticks all these boxes.  It would see you land in a supportive team where you’d have the opportunity to learn from some of the brightest thinkers in the marketing industry. And it would mean you have the opportunity to work on the most impressive range of clients, work types and strategic challenges the market has to offer. It’s the kind of role where no challenge we tackle is ever the same as the one before, ensuring you’re always growing, being challenged, and being kept on your toes – in the best possible way!

Our agency suits passionate professionals who are keen to thrive and grow to be their best, as part of a caring, nurturing and supportive environment.

We’re a strategic insights consulting agency that conducts all types of insights-related work.  We’ve carved out a reputation as the agency to work with when solid empirical evidence is needed to inform critical business and marketing decisions.  We do this through a unique blend of evidence-based insights and consulting. Our philosophy is one of understanding our clients and the problem first, and then determining how to solve the business challenge in a way that’s grounded in evidence. We play a hands-on role in helping our clients unlock commercial growth opportunities, evolve brand strategies, develop new ads and products, and inform social initiatives. We deal directly with Executive Teams and Boards at some of Australia’s biggest organisations to do so, as well as working closely with advertising and media agencies.

Our people are our lifeblood. We have a diverse team, from different backgrounds, who each see the world differently from one another. This is a beautiful thing that results in better outcomes for our clients, and a more enjoyable and intellectually rewarding process for us. We celebrate diversity, as it makes us stronger at solving problems and developing strategies for our clients.

If this sounds like you, you’re in good company.  We’d love to explore the idea of having you as part of our team.

The role we’re currently hiring for is a Consultant in our Melbourne office. This is a client-facing consulting role.
