Deliver with certainty.
Build a career the same way.
We're an Australian-owned consultancy of around 160 specialists working in AI and data, Observability, Cyber and Operational Resilience, Quality Engineering, DevOps and Managed Services. Join us and you'll work on real problems for some of the country's largest corporate and government clients, backed by a structured development program and a founder-led culture that means what it says about work-life balance.
Why Avocado
A founder-led consultancy, not just a head count
At Avocado, you'll have access to our tools, methodologies, and more importantly, the consultants and leaders who use them every day, so knowledge and experience move around the team rather than sitting in silos.
We're still founder-led, which shows up in the small things: flexible work that's actually flexible, a flat enough structure that you can reach a Practice Manager or GM directly, and a culture built around five values we hold ourselves to.
Five values we hold ourselves to
-
B

Outstanding
Good enough isn't the bar.
To me, 'deliver with certainty' means having the confidence and ability to deliver quality results with complete client satisfaction.
How your career grows
You'll grow by doing the work, not just talking about it
Most consultancies tell you they'll invest in your growth. At Avocado, that shows up in the work itself: you're on real client engagements from early on, working alongside senior consultants who'll actually teach you something, not shadowing from the sidelines. Growth here comes from the breadth of problems you get exposed to — different clients, different industries, different technical challenges — backed by people who are genuinely invested in where you're headed next.
What career support looks like day to day
The scaffolding around your growth — the people, the exposure and the structure that make it real.
-
Practice Manager support
Direct access to your manager for guidance and constructive feedback.
-
Real project exposure
You're working on genuine client problems, not training exercises, from early in your time here.
-
A mentor
One-on-one support and a sounding board as you grow.
-
Project rotation
For graduates — exposure across projects to help you find where your interests lie.
-
An Avocado Buddy
Someone in your corner from day one.
-
Interactive workshops
Regular sessions to keep you current with the industry.

Reward and recognition
A structured program that recognises the work, not just the title.
I realised that while I may be proficient technically, there were gaps in my approach to certain situations. Avocado's support bridged the gap between my IQ and EQ — and I now use the same approaches with my own kids.
Six practices. One team.
New here? Most engagements draw on two or three of these, and you'll move between them as your interests take shape.
AI and Data
Data platforms, machine learning, generative AI and agentic AI work that helps clients turn their data into something they can actually act on.
Cyber and Operational Resilience
Security strategy, architecture, risk and identity work for organisations that can't afford to get it wrong.
Quality Engineering
Test strategy, automation and AI-powered testing for teams shipping at speed.
DevOps
Automation, orchestration and delivery pipelines that get software out the door faster and safer.
Managed Services
Ongoing operational management of the platforms our clients depend on.
Support that goes beyond salary
We take a holistic view of what looking after our people means — financial reward is part of it, but so is time, flexibility, and having someone to talk to when things are hard.
Work-life balance
- Flexible working arrangements, including remote and hybrid options and flexibility around hours.
- 12 weeks' paid parental leave for primary care givers (permanent employees).
Culture and wellbeing
- Regular social events and fundraising, built around causes that matter to our people.
- Free, confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family.
Financial benefits
- Competitive market salaries.
- Cost-of-living allowances to support our people when budgets are stretched.
- Annual performance-based bonus eligibility.
Professional development
- Honest, regular performance reviews that feed directly into your development plan.
Reward and recognition
- The Circle of Excellence — quarterly Above and Beyond Awards, plus annual Rising Star and Excellence Awards.
- Referral bonuses for bringing great people, or great opportunities, to Avocado.
- Access to a discount marketplace through our Employment Hero affiliation.
Diversity and inclusion
A team that reflects the industry we want to build
We aim to create a safe, respectful environment where our people's confidence can flourish — because the quality of our thinking improves when a genuinely diverse range of views is in the room. That shows up in our BRAVO values, our employment policies, our commitment to pay equity, and in how deliberately we support cultural celebrations that matter to our team.
Our leadership team works to model this: we review our employment strategies regularly to keep opportunities fair and equitable regardless of gender, nationality or disability, and we take part in a voluntary diversity report each year to track our own progress.
I am proud to be part of a leadership team that encourages working women to forge ahead with their career — by providing equal pay and next generation flexible working arrangements, so I can be a manager and a mum.
