Working with us

Not your usual workplace

Diversity is our secret sauce. We make the space for you to bring your slice of genius to the mix and discover your passion in the work.

For-purpose

We only work with for-purpose organisations on assignments that deliver public good outcomes.

Values-led

Our values are more than words on a wall. They’re our guiding stars, which means we engage in constant conversation and take action to bring them to life in every aspect of our work.

Flexible

We’ve been committed to flexible working since we started up in 2015. It’s the central pillar of gender equity in the workplace so is, and always will be, part of our DNA.

We practice what we preach - here’s how

Corporate social responsibility

It’s not just something we advise on - we live it.
Our whole business model is about integrating community, social and environmental concerns into every business interaction and operation. It doesn’t just give us the edge with our clients, it gives you a superior workplace experience and a chance to feel good about your daily toil.
Even better - you get to advise on something you’ve co-created with us.

Our business model
Diversity, equity and inclusion

Iceni was built on a vision for workplace gender equity and we extend that commitment to people from all other walks of life too. It’s a challenge we’ve decided to lean into knowing that it’s a process, not a destination.
For our part, we see your identity as a strength, not something that needs to be trained out of you. We’re committed to learning with you, growing our frame of reference and expanding our ideas of what’s possible when we lean in together.
Permission to get out of your lane

Other workplaces might want you to swim a million laps in the same lane, but here at Iceni, we encourage you to try your hand at everything.
You’ll have a voice and a chance to work on designing, building and growing our company. As well as working with our clients, you’ll be invited to shape our strategy, values and culture, dabble in marketing, sales and customer management and co-design our offering.
It’s not just a chance to prove your value, it’s an opportunity to experiment and grow.
Investment in your growth

We want to give you a platform for reaching your full potential. That means our relationship is a two-way street in which an investment in you is an investment in us.
As an Iceni tribe member, you’ll get your own development plan that includes a blend of specialist skills certification and training, coaching and mentoring, on-the-job learning and exposure to many different aspects of running our business.

Roles at Iceni

Each Iceni assignment requires a mix of skills and experiences. We design teams to service each assignment based on capability, strength and area of interest. Our core roles are:

Senior manager

Senior managers are senior domain experts and business leaders, shaping their expertise to meet client requirements and demonstrate our brand and values.

As a client-facing leader, Senior managers lead well-integrated client and Iceni teams to develop loyal client relationships and deliver strategic outcomes and value-adds.

Associate director

Directors are executive leaders that shape our strategic direction and culture, mentoring and coaching the team to do their very finest work.

As client-facing leaders, directors nurture and grow our client base, lead assignments, oversee project teams, provide quality assurance and provide
trusted advice.

Manager

Managers coordinate our people and resources to deliver great outcomes for our clients and ensure we have the tools necessary to focus on client success.

When client-facing, managers play a critical role in organising and keeping us on track, ensuring that we deliver on our contractual obligations and our client promise.

Consultant

Our consultants support more senior team members through a range of business activities including research, analysis and deliverable creation.

When client-facing our consultants are flexible and adaptable to the needs of each client and assignment, supporting on-time and budget delivery.

Senior consultant

Our senior consultants have had previous experience as a consultant (or equivalent) and are starting to develop their own domain expertise.

They may lead low-complexity assignments or support our senior team members on larger more complex assignments as a way of growing and extending their budding expertise.

Specialist

We engage specialists when we need deep expertise that the Iceni tribe doesn’t already have or when we are short-staffed on an assignment.

Examples of specialist expertise we engage include business case specialists, domain specialists, economists, data scientists, technologists, graphic designers and illustrators and facilitators.
