Job Description
At Clear Horizon, we are committed to positively impacting people, place and planet. Weโre all about helping organisations make a bigger impact through effective Measurement, Evaluation and Learning (MEL). As a values-driven, B-Corp certified company, we combine advisory services with smart digital tools to support learning and growth. Whether itโs growing evaluation capacity or finding ways to address complex challenges, our approach is centred around learning and capability building.
We work with a wide range of amazing clients โ from government agencies to not-for-profits and community groups โ both here in Australia and around the world. Our experience spans small scale social innovation projects to large-scale systems transformation initiatives involving diverse stakeholders. Whatever the size or scope, weโre passionate about creating real change together.
The Sustainable Futures team has a long history and strong reputation delivering high quality and innovative MEL consulting services in the sustainable agriculture, Natural Resource Management (NRM), climate change and related sectors across Australia. Our clients include government departments and agencies, non-government organisations, research development corporations and research institutes.
We are currently searching for two passionate individuals to join our Sustainable Futures team - a Principal Consultant and a Senior Consultant with expertise in these sectors.
Location:
Melbourne CBD or remote
Key responsibilities for a Principal Consultant include:
Leading complex MEL projects, including designing and delivering evaluation studies using mixed-methods, and facilitating participatory MEL-design processes.
Leading small project teams of MEL practitioners to deliver high-quality services that meet client needs and expectations, while maintaining strong client relationships and meeting project budgets.
Engaging in business development activities to build and sustain profitable business relationships, including developing proposals, exploring partnership opportunities, attending events, networking, and staying informed about sector developments to keep Clear Horizon at the forefront of innovations in the sector.
Key responsibilities for Senior Consultants include:
Leading small-medium MEL projects, and supporting Principal Consultants to deliver complex MEL projects, including evaluation studies using mixed-methods and participatory MEL-design processes.
Project management: Build and maintain strong client relationships through proactive project management and client communications, building an understanding of client needs and delivering outcomes that meet or exceed their requirements.
While both roles share similar core responsibilities, Principal Consultants require more professional MEL experience.
About you:
Weโd love to hear from values-aligned people from diverse backgrounds with an interest and expertise in MEL within sustainable agriculture, NRM, and climate change. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesnโt perfectly align with the criteria. Note we are looking for applicants with the right to work in Australia.
Benefits:
Values-driven company that really cares about its employees and the multitude of stakeholders we work with.
Great culture of respect, fun and appreciation. Youโll get to work with an amazing bunch of people who care deeply about their job and believe in what Clear Horizon stands for.
Flexible working arrangements. Our office is based in Melbourne, but we donโt mind where you are. Our Sustainable Futures team has people all around Australia.
Learn from some of the most knowledgeable and experienced evaluators in the field. Grow your skillset and access the latest thinking, tools and leading-edge practice.
Quarterly wellbeing days โ an additional day of leave to help you recharge and do what you need to look after yourself.
Organisation-wide profit sharing if we meet our budget.
Help us change the world for the better! We strive to help our clients maximise the impact they deliver through their initiatives.
