Job details

We are Crestview, a global public affairs firm with offices in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and the Gulf. We help organisations navigate political and regulatory environments, engage with government, and position themselves for long-term success across sectors including energy, infrastructure, health, and technology. 

We are seeking a Consultant to work across government grants and public affairs, supporting clients on funding opportunities while contributing to broader engagement with government and policy. 

At Crestview, you will be part of a fast-paced, collaborative team with opportunities to work across international markets and contribute to work that sits at the intersection of policy, politics and commercial outcomes. 

The opportunity

This role brings together two closely connected areas of work. 

On one side, you will support clients to understand the policy environment, track political and regulatory developments, and engage with government in a way that is credible and effective. 

On the other, you will work on grant and funding opportunities.  Strong grants work is about telling a compelling story that connects what a client is trying to achieve with what government actually wants to fund. 

The connection between the two is where the work becomes interesting. Understanding government priorities, reading the policy environment and positioning a narrative clearly are what drive both effective engagement and successful funding outcomes. 

    What you will be responsible for

    • Support the development of grant and funding applications, including drafting, structuring and refining submissions 
    • Analyse grant guidelines and identify what matters from a policy and assessment perspective 
    • Translate client business cases into clear, compelling narratives aligned to government priorities 
    • Conduct research across policy, funding programs and industry sectors 
    • Support government relations work, including stakeholder mapping, policy analysis and briefings 
    • Manage multiple workstreams and deadlines, ensuring consistently high-quality output 
    • Contribute to business development and the growth of Crestview’s grants advisory capability 

    Our ideal new team member

    This role is suited to someone who is interested in politics, policy and government, and who enjoys structured, analytical work with a high degree of attention to detail. 

    You might be a lawyer who has decided not to practise and is looking to apply your skills in a more commercial or policy-facing environment. You might be a recent graduate who has spent time in government, a ministerial office, a think tank or a related field and is looking for something more dynamic. You might be early in your career and looking for a role that combines detailed written work with exposure to how decisions actually get made. 

    What matters most is not a specific background, but attitude. We are looking for someone who is curious, proactive, and willing to get stuck in. 

    You will bring: 

    • Strong writing skills and the ability to think in a structured and analytical way 
    • High attention to detail and comfort working in documents and written materials 
    • An ability to review qualitative and quantitative information sources, and synthesise relevant material into accurate and compelling narratives 
    • Interest in government, politics and public affairs 
    • Curiosity about how businesses operate and how they engage with government 
    • Organisation, reliability and the ability to work at pace 

      What we offer our team:

      • Competitive total compensation package, including base salary and performance incentives 
      • Career development opportunities, including mentoring and exposure to senior practitioners 
      • The opportunity to work across both grants advisory and government relations 
      • Exposure to high-impact client work across multiple sectors 
      • Flexibility to work from home 

      Further details

      This full-time position will be based in our Sydney office.
