Consulting Manager

Location: Sydney-based (Hybrid)
Job Type: Full Time
Salary Range: $140-150k

What is Nifty?

Nifty is a global consultancy with teams across Australia and North America. We specialise in low-code solutions with Airtable at the centre of our work, helping some of the world’s leading organisations redesign the way they operate.

Since our founding in 2024, we’ve become the highest-rated Airtable agency in APAC and one of the top five globally, achieved Gold-certified Airtable Partner status, partnered with Media and Entertainment leaders such as Netflix, Disney and Paramount, and delivered enterprise-scale systems for teams around the world.

About the role

We are hiring a Consulting Manager who wants their work to sit closer to the impact.

In this role, you'll help clients make sense of complex problems, shape clear paths forward and partner with our team to bring simple, well designed systems to life.

This is a hands on consulting role. You will run discovery, guide decisions and facilitate working sessions that keep clients engaged and work moving. You will build and test directly in Airtable and use Notion to organise thinking, outline plans and create structure around your stream of work.

You’ll enjoy this role if you like moving with purpose, showing work early and collaborating with people who care about craft and practical outcomes.

What you'll do

  • Lead the delivery of your project stream from discovery through to rollout, bringing clarity to complex client problems.
  • Design and deliver systems in partnership with founders, Engagement Leads and builders.
  • You’ll work with the team to build solutions in Airtable and use Notion to create clear plans, workflows and decision points.
  • Facilitate workshops and working sessions that surface real needs, test ideas and build trust quickly.
  • Coach consultants on consulting craft, communication and decision making.
  • Contribute to improving our playbooks, patterns and ways of working as our practice expands.

    What's true about you

    • You have worked in consulting or a client-facing role and know how to lead conversations, shape direction and manage delivery.
    • You ask questions that make everyone else go “oh, that is the real issue.”
    • You communicate clearly with both senior stakeholders and internal teams
    • You’re practical, curious and able to identify the simplest viable solution without over-engineering.
    • You are curious about Airtable and low code tools (even if you aren’t an expert yet).
    • You may have started your career in a larger consulting firm and now want an environment with more ownership, faster cycles and more meaningful impact.

      Why join Nifty?

      Create real impact: Work in a way where clarity, pace and building go hand in hand. We move quickly from insight to action and take pride in creating practical systems that land well for the people who use them.

      Work with leading organisations on meaningful change: Partner with teams inside globally recognised companies and shape the systems they rely on every day. It is high trust work where you can see the impact of what you deliver.

      Grow with us: You’ll join at a stage where your ideas can influence how we operate. Our consulting model is evolving quickly, and you’ll help shape the next version of how Nifty delivers work across APAC and North America.

      Stay human: We want your whole self to thrive. We value clarity, flexibility and a healthy pace. If the surf’s good, go surfing.
