Why Sparke Helmore?
As an independent Australian firm with a long history and a big heart, we have a rich story to tell. Our spirit is built on the power of relationships with our people, clients and communities.
At Sparke Helmore, you’ll be actively involved as part of a diverse, genuine and friendly team. We’ll help you harness your ambition and take your skills to new heights with exposure to outstanding clients and easy access to exceptional leaders and mentors.

Supporting the Senior Business Development Manager, your key responsibilities include:
Supporting the Workplace practice group in delivering timely, high-quality business development initiatives aligned to the group's strategic objectives.
Assisting with client relationship management activities for key clients.
Coordinating and project managing practice group bids, tenders and quotes, including leading kick-off meetings, drafting content, tender debriefs, and ensuring compliance with bid processes.
