  • Act as the primary client interface, building trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders
  • Develop and manage study execution plans, budgets, and reporting frameworks consistent with feasibility - level expectations
  • Identify and manage key technical, commercial, and execution risks, ensuring transparency and defensibility of study outcomes
  • Support business and project development activities, including bids, tenders, and technical inputs for new opportunities
  • Mentor and develop emerging study and project managers within the business, contributing to Sedgman’s long - term capability growth

Excellent leadership and communication skills, with the confidence to operate at senior client and internal leadership levels

A client ‑ focused mindset, supported by a strong professional network and multi ‑ commodity experience

What We Offer

  • The opportunity to lead high ‑ profile studies for clients across a wide range of commodities
  • A senior leadership role with genuine influence over project outcomes and business direction
  • Flexible working arrangements to support work - life balance
