Social Value Advisory Lead

Full-time (1.0 FTE), fixed-term parental leave cover contract – 12 months

Location flexible (Hybrid)

We're looking for an experienced, commercially minded Social Value Advisory Lead. You'll take ownership of leading the sale and delivery of advisory services and memberships, that strengthen Australia’s social enterprise and social performance ecosystem.

Bring your established consultant experience in social procurement, social value, or social performance to the role, and apply your expertise that combines credibility, autonomy, and impact. Be at the centre of creating meaningful systems change. 

As Australia’s industry body for social enterprise and social performance, Social Traders plays a pivotal role in embedding social value into how business and government operate, and this position sits at the heart of that work.

You will lead advisory services engagements end to end, from opportunity scoping and proposal development through to delivery oversight, ensuring work is commercially sound, well delivered, and aligned with our purpose.

This role will suit someone who is a natural salesperson, values ownership, enjoys delivery, and is motivated by the opportunity to apply their consulting skills in a purpose led environment.

What you’ll do

• Scope and structure advisory services aligned to Social Traders’ offering
• Sell advisory services and memberships, and manage the advisory services pipeline 
• Develop high quality proposals grounded in subject matter credibility, taking accountability for commercial viability and conversion
• Manage partnerships once contracted, ensuring strong delivery outcomes
• Coordinate laterally with internal teams to support effective delivery
• Own the advisory services pipeline and revenue target, from lead qualification through to contract execution

What you’ll bring

• 3–5+ years’ experience in consulting or advisory services
• Proven ability to sell and deliver advisory engagements
• Strong commercial judgement, including scoping and pricing
• A hands on, execution focused approach with clear accountability for outcomes
• Confidence working independently with minimal oversight
• Clear, professional written communication skills
• Experience in social procurement, ESG, social value measurement, or purpose-led consulting is highly regarded

We're open to discussing how this role is structured, provided revenue generation remains the clear priority.
