  • Shape the Future
  • Represent Australia in the development of WSP's Global Digital Strategy.
  • Connect capability, resources and innovation opportunities across the region.
  • Bring global expertise and best practice to local market opportunities.
About You

You're a commercially minded digital leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy, technology and business growth.

You'll bring:

  • Significant executive leadership experience within digital consulting, technology or professional services.
  • Proven ownership of a P&L and responsibility for business growth and performance.
  • A strong track record of winning work, developing client relationships and leading major pursuits.
  • Experience building and scaling digital businesses, delivery models and operating frameworks.
  • The ability to lead across a complex, global and matrixed environment.
  • Exceptional stakeholder engagement, communication and influencing skills.

While you don't need deep technical expertise across every discipline, you'll have the credibility and commercial judgement to lead teams delivering digital transformation, cloud, data, cyber and technology-enabled solutions.

Why WSP?

At WSP, you'll join a global professional services leader with the scale to tackle complex challenges and the agility to create meaningful impact.

You'll work alongside exceptional people, shape industry-leading digital solutions, influence strategy on a global stage and help build the future of digital consulting across our region.
