⭐ Why this role is different
Many analyst roles involve supporting projects from the sidelines.
This role puts you much closer to the work.
You'll contribute directly to projects focused on organisational growth, enterprise development, transformation and employment creation. You'll see how decisions are made, how organisations navigate change, and how evidence can be used to shape meaningful outcomes.
You'll be given responsibility, support and exposure early, working alongside people who are committed to developing capability rather than simply delegating tasks.

What's involved:
🌏 What you'll be stepping into
WhiteBox is bringing together a team to help disability enterprises grow, evolve and create more opportunities for people with disability through business growth, transformation and innovation.
As an Analyst, you'll be working alongside experienced consultants, transformation leaders and social enterprise practitioners on some of the most complex and interesting challenges facing the sector.
One day you might be researching an emerging market opportunity. The next, analysing commercial performance data, preparing material for a Board discussion or helping develop a business case that could influence the direction of an organisation.
You'll have the opportunity to apply your analytical skills to work with real-world impact, while building experience across strategy, transformation, growth, social enterprise and systems change.
Key criteria:
🌱 The kind of person who succeeds here
You're early in your career, but not at the beginning of it.
You've likely spent a few years in strategy consulting, management consulting, investment banking, transaction advisory, private equity, corporate strategy, economic consulting, policy advisory, or another environment where you've developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
You're comfortable working with data, financial information, research and complex stakeholder environments.
More importantly, you're motivated by understanding how organisations work, how decisions get made, and how strategy translates into action.
You enjoy digging into ambiguous questions, identifying patterns in messy information and helping others make sense of complexity.
You don't need to arrive with deep disability or social enterprise expertise, but you should be genuinely interested in applying your skills to work that creates both commercial and social value.
💡 What you'll bring
We'd love to hear from you if you've:
- Built your analytical capability through experience in consulting, investment banking, transaction advisory, private equity, corporate strategy, policy, research or a similarly rigorous environment.
- Conducted research, financial analysis, market assessments, commercial due diligence, strategic reviews or problem-solving work that informed recommendations and decision-making.
- Synthesised information from multiple sources to identify trends, risks, opportunities and practical recommendations.
- Worked on complex projects where the answer wasn't immediately obvious and required structured thinking, investigation and sound judgement.
- Contributed to business cases, investment decisions, strategic plans, transformation initiatives or other projects with measurable outcomes.
- Produced high-quality work with strong attention to detail while managing competing priorities and deadlines.
- Are motivated by learning, collaboration and delivering meaningful outcomes, and care more about solving the problem than being the smartest person in the room.
