We work with our government, public and private sector clients to help them manage their biggest strategic challenges.

We’re growing our team at EY-Parthenon Strategy
At EY-Parthenon Strategy, we are sharply focused on strategic problems, advising the CEOs, Boards and senior leaders of Australia’s largest companies. We advise the secretaries and deputy secretaries of state and federal government departments about the country’s most pressing public issues. And we advise major Australian and international PE funds on deals worth billions of dollars each year.
The issues we work on are as diverse as our clients’ organisations and circumstances, creating an exciting and stimulating work environment. Our solutions are data-driven and idea-intensive, designed to transform performance and enhance value. This high-impact work allows us to build and maintain long-term relationships with clients across a wide range of government and industry sectors.
For over 30 years, our people have been the key to our success. We are a supportive group of clever, curious, and enthusiastic problem solvers. Whether you join us as a recent graduate, an experienced consultant, or from another industry, we offer an unrivalled opportunity to build an interesting, challenging, and diverse career. You will work alongside exceptionally talented people in small project teams, rapidly developing a broad range of personal and professional skills
At the beginning of their strategy consulting careers, Business Analysts acquire new capabilities and responsibilities at a rapid rate. They have the opportunity to build a deep understanding of their part of the problem, as well as the chance to develop their broader business and problem-solving abilities. Over several studies, Business Analysts also develop their expertise in working with clients, preparing effective communication materials, and delivering presentations. High performing Business Analysts typically find they are given more scope to work independently, applying their creativity and intellect to deliver unique, high impact analyses and generate real insights. Most Consultants join EY-Parthenon Strategy as Business Analysts, with support and guidance to enable their rapid development.
Associates draw out the key insights to solve client problems, contributing to problem definition, day-to-day project management, and senior-level communications. They quickly take ownership of key workstreams, typically bringing prior consulting or relevant industry experience. Senior Associates take on greater responsibility for leading workstreams and project teams, and for coaching others and driving firm initiatives.
Promotion to Director indicates progression as a leader of our firm. Directors have demonstrated their abilities as outstanding problem solvers, engagement managers, and coaches for other team members, as well as an ability to develop enduring client relationships. Directors find themselves increasingly seen by clients as an advisor and thought partner around their most critical issues.
Our Partners’ deep business knowledge, experience and acumen help them to advise senior executives on strategic and organisational issues and how to set their organisation’s broader agenda. Our Partners are actively involved in leading the problem solving in our project teams. In addition, our Partners are involved in thought leadership and are highly respected members of the business community.
Our practice is committed to a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace as we believe that diversity of thought and experience allows us to engage different perspectives and therefore deliver better solutions to complex problems.
As a consequence, our people come to us from a broad range of backgrounds, and with different experiences and interests. While we seek to recruit individuals who are exceptional problem solvers with strong communication and teamwork skills, we do not restrict our recruitment to a certain ‘type’ of person, nor a particular academic or employment history. We believe that diverse colleagues make for a more enriching, fulfilling and accessible workplace, it also makes work more interesting and fun!
Our client engagements are as diverse as our people. At EY-Parthenon Strategy you will experience the variety that comes from engaging with senior leaders of public and private companies across many industries, and federal and state governments. Importantly, our approach means that you will not be pigeon-holed into specialising in a particular industry or type of project – you will have broad exposure to a range of different problem-solving approaches, sectors and types of clients, across Australia and internationally.
Diversity is one of our core values at EY-Parthenon Strategy; we believe that our strength is in our differences.
For us, diversity means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognising, accepting and respecting our individual differences. These can include gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or ideas. We are proud of our collegial, non-competitive environment, where people work collaboratively and respectfully.
At EY-Parthenon Strategy, achieving gender equality is an imperative. To us, this means ensuring equal opportunities and representation at all levels. Our Women@EY-Parthenon Strategy network aims to empower women by facilitating connections with each other, providing mentoring and sponsorship, delivering targeted learning and development opportunities, and supporting the achievement of individual goals both professionally and personally.
I am inspired by the talented, compassionate women who work at EY-Parthenon Strategy. Our women’s network comes together regularly to discuss the social context we work in, the power of diversity, and how different styles of leadership contribute to excellent client outcomes. But more than talk, we are finding practical solutions to navigating work-life challenges, providing emotional support during COVID and increasing access to sponsoring and mentoring opportunities to help build careers. You can’t set and forget equity and inclusion. I’m proud to be part of a team who are up for the deep cultural work required to continuously improve how women experience and progress their careers.
We align with EY’s leading edge family leave policies, which offers 26 weeks’ paid leave for all new parents and carers, to be used within 24 months. Employees have significant flexibility in how to use this leave; it can be taken in one block, multiple blocks or part time, and can be at the same time as your partner. We also make superannuation contributions on all paid and unpaid parental leave, and offer paid leave for early pregnancy loss and fertility treatments.
The team at EY-Parthenon Strategy coupled with EY’s generous parental leave policy allowed my partner and me significant time together to bond with our child in the first months of her life. I've felt nothing but genuine support from the partnership in navigating what can appear to be a tricky time in balancing career and life goals.
Joining EY-Parthenon Strategy means joining a community that wants to see you succeed. Each team member is allocated a Development Leader who is a Partner or Director that supports you on your development journey. Outside of this, you will have access to mentors, networks and sponsors to help you grow. We take a tailored approach to each individual’s development to support their specific needs.
I have been lucky to have access to mentors at EY-Parthenon Strategy who coach me through what good looks like across all levels of consulting, as well as access to sponsors in broader EYParthenon who recognise my contribution in the deals / private equity space.
As part of EY, we are also connected into EY’s wide range of professional networks which provide a supportive community, build awareness and promote inclusiveness. These include Unity (LGBTI+ Network), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Network, Gender Network, Cultural Diversity Network and Ability Network.
Beyond work, we make time to celebrate milestones and enjoy a variety of firm events and social activities.
Each employee is paired with a Development Leader, a Partner who works closely with them on a personalised development plan, with regular meetings to support their progress. Our approach to development is based on three main principles:
Our promotions and rewards are linked to performance rather than a rigid, tenure-based schedule.
We are pleased to support high performing employees with a number of other opportunities for accelerated development through experiences that help to develop both professional and personal skills:
We offer an evolving range of financial and non-financial benefits, designed to meet the varying needs of our employees over the course of their careers and lives outside of work. Examples of some of our benefits include:
We value our relationships with each other and make time to connect outside client work through retreats, social and sporting events, interest-based groups, volunteering, guest speakers and roundtable discussions.
