Overview  

Delivery Associates is looking to connect with talented and passionate individuals for an exciting role working with clients on projects across the Asia-Pacific region. We work in partnership with government, foundations and public sector partners on some of the biggest issues they face – climate, justice and equity, education and healthcare, data and innovation for public good.  

Job Description  

At Delivery Associates (DA), we work with leaders in the public sector to solve complex challenges, build consensus, and implement policies and programs that impact millions of people. As a Senior Consultant, you will be part of a small, dynamic team that partners with government and public sector leaders, as well as philanthropic and nonprofit organizations, to improve the delivery of public services that create real outcomes for communities.

We use our flagship delivery tools and methods—shaped by years of global experience—to help partners solve problems and deliver results. But we’re not just method-driven: we succeed because of our curiosity, commitment, and urgency to help clients achieve lasting impact. This role offers you the chance to implement our delivery methodology, support and lead meaningful policy and program implementation, and grow alongside our clients.

We are currently looking for team members to help grow our work across Australia, South-East Asia, and the Pacific.

• Facilitate collaborative problem-solving and establish action-oriented routines with stakeholders.

• Design and lead workshops with senior decision-makers, technical partners, and frontline service providers.

• Translate insights from field engagement into implementation strategies that work.

• Develop high-quality client deliverables—presentations, reports, engagement sessions—that are clear, compelling, and actionable.

• Manage work plans, timelines, and sequencing to support the successful delivery of fast-paced, high-impact public sector and non-for-profit projects.

• Provide guidance and structure to team Associates and collaborate effectively across distributed teams.

• Help clients monitor delivery progress with a mindset focused on urgency, pace, and adaptability.

• Maintain strategic focus amid complexity, helping large coalitions stay aligned on priority outcomes.
