Job Description
About the opportunity
We’re seeking a Partnerships & Growth Analyst to help shape the next phase of BUSY’s growth.
Reporting to the Director, Business Development & Partnerships, this is not a traditional sales or fundraising role. It will appeal to someone with a background in corporate development, strategy, advisory or transaction support. You’ll play a hands-on role in originating strategic growth opportunities, building relationships with prospective partners, and bringing well-formed opportunities to senior decision makers.
What you’ll do
Partnership & opportunity identification
Build and maintain relationships across the NFP, industry and stakeholders to generate insight, identify and develop opportunities.
Proactively progress opportunities that align with The BUSY Group’s growth priorities, shaping the narrative, building stakeholder support, and positioning options for internal decision.
Conduct targeted market and sector research to identify aligned organisations and expansion opportunities.
Develop and maintain a structured pipeline of potential partners and opportunities, with clear next steps, owners and status.
Opportunity evaluation & due diligence coordination
Financial, governance and operational considerations
Key risks and sensitivities
Coordinate early-stage due diligence and information gathering, working with internal SMEs and external counterparties to validate fit, risks and feasibility.
Support internal decision making through clear briefs, recommendations and executive ready summaries.
Stakeholder engagement & governance support
Work closely with Finance, Corporate Services and senior leaders to support robust, well governed growth decisions.
Maintain discreet, accurate records across the opportunity pipeline, including risk registers and stakeholder interactions.
Support preparation of internal business cases, Board briefings and strategic reports as required.
Desired Skills and Experience
What you’ll bring
Experience in strategic analysis, corporate development, consulting, transactions, M&A support, or investment style opportunity assessment (ideally with a strength in opportunity origination and relationship-led stakeholder engagement; sector experience is flexible).
Strong analytical skills, with confidence interpreting financial, organisational and governance information.
The ability to build credible, trusted relationships with external stakeholders.
Experience coordinating complex workstreams across multiple stakeholders.
Are motivated by purpose, impact and long-term outcomes, not just transactions.
Clear, structured communication skills, with confidence presenting insights to senior leaders.
High attention to detail and comfort working with sensitive or confidential information.
Blue Card, National Police Check, and open driver’s licence (or ability to obtain).
