If so, we might be a great fit for each other. About Amicus Amicus is an award-winning employer with offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and a national project reach.

About the Role We are currently exploring a pathway for a generational handover as our current Head of Workplace Strategy looks to head toward retirement. We are seeking a new leader who will have an incredible opportunity to take the best parts of consulting capability developed over the last 10 years, and blend this with their own unique stamp and vision for the future of work and workplace.

What youll bring Youre someone who: already has a serious track record in this sort of work client facing, scoping & pitching, delivering engagements, etc. might not yet have been an organisational leader, but you have consulted directly to senior leadership teams of 1000+ employees and can fluently frame their workplace change as a lever for better execution of business strategy. may or may not have an interior design background the important technical capabilities pertain to building clarity of strategic intent, and articulating design principles that transcend physical design to address location, technology, and cultural redesign/change management. is comfortable working with numbers & data interpretation capturing and interpreting occupancy data, headcount projections and so forth, and presenting back space calculations, # of desks, meeting rooms etc as part of early stage in principle scenario modelling. is instantly likeable and warm, forming egoless connections with colleagues and clients alike. You read the room, notice the emotion, speak with compassion and nuance. You recognise that the corporate world is often trying to move from factory to selfactualised ecology, where the rise of AI is in contrast with an exquisite sense of what is uniquely human. does not parrot the clichs of twobit strategists who sprinkle terms like collaboration and breaking down silos onto shallow briefs that are painted by number. You pause, you listen, and hold up a mirror to the client that somehow articulates aspirations for organisational actualisation that theyve never quite been able to put words to. can deftly facilitate a room of personalities, working through differing perspectives and defusing objections in such a way that the right moment of consensus yes we endorse this emerges and is not subsequently regretted. regardless of your current seniority, is willing to win influence and credibility within Amicus by being a doer not a talker, delivering the work directly and collaborating within an agile, flat organisation of other peoplepeople.
