Join the next chapter of Gyde Consulting’s growth
We have an opportunity for a highly motivated, energetic, and capable person to join our professional consulting firm conveniently located in Sussex Street in Sydney’s CBD. The role is a key delivery position in our Corporate Services team to provide effective business support to our growing town planning, urban design, data analytics, communication and social planning staff.
About Gyde Consulting
Gyde Consulting is an industry leading town planning consultancy with offices in Sydney, Newcastle and the Capital Region (centred in the ACT). We have around 50 staff and boast a strong client base across industry, corporate and government agencies and are engaged in a diverse range of planning, urban design and development studies and projects.
About the person we are looking for
We want someone with enthusiasm, positive energy and a commitment to delivering in a business support role. This is an excellent opportunity for a person who is interested in learning and growing their experience within an expanding company, with the potential to further develop the role in the future. Your approach to colleagues and clients will also be a key part of contributing to a positive work culture and building on our excellent business reputation.
The successful candidate will need to demonstrate the ability to learn and adapt, as well as a pragmatic approach to problem solving, effective communication skills, and attention to detail. You will be a polite and reliable contact point for colleagues and clients. We are seeking someone who is self-organised, with the ability to prioritise and complete tasks effectively within deadlines, track and implement actions, identify potential process improvements and work flexibly as part of a team.
About the role and its responsibilities
Under the direction of the Practice Manager and Executive Directors, a successful candidate will be required to:
- Assist with the preparation and compilation of fee proposals and tender submissions within deadlines
- Manage client and customer enquiries (phone and email)
- Implement business operations, such as setting up projects in the corporate system, filing and organising information, managing data and generating reports in consistent formats
- Assist with the preparation of marketing materials and presentations, including website updates and social media
- Draft and format letters, reports and written material
- Assist with internal communications (i.e. newsletters) and presentations
- Undertake a range of business support tasks – which will be different every day, and which would suit someone who learns quickly and enjoys daily evolving challenges
About You - Qualifications & Experience
While we value experience in a similar role and would take a positive view of any experience in town planning or architectural practices (or local government), we are interested in many other capabilities as well.
We are focused on employing people with positive attitude and future capability – and how you might grow, develop and succeed with us. You might have additional skills in marketing, communication or data analytics that could add value to your business support role. We are also open to job share or part time proposals from the right candidate(s).
We expect a successful candidate to have existing skills in:
- effective technology knowledge (with systems such as MS Office and/or graphic design packages such as InDesign)
- time management and organisational skills
- good written and verbal communication skills
- the ability to deal professionally and positively with colleagues and clients
Our salary range for this role starts at approximately $70K per annum but is negotiable based on qualifications, potential and experience. There are a range of other financial and non- financial benefits offered by Gyde.
Written applications should include a simple CV (max 2 pages) and a short cover letter setting out why you are interested in the role and how you can meet its requirements. This must be submitted via email to info@gyde.com.au by 5:00 PM Monday 27 January 2025.
