At Right Lane we exist to help organisations that do good do better. We work with leaders tackling society’s biggest challenges across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

We are the first management consulting firm to be B Corp certified. B Corp certified means we meet independently verified standards for social and environmental impact, accountability and transparency. We have recently transitioned its ownership to a foundation owned model becoming the first privately owned Australian Management consulting firm to adopt such a structure. This means our focus is long-term impact, not short-term profit.

You’ll join a collaborative, close-knit team that values intellectual rigour, curiosity and generosity. We are deeply committed to Reconciliation, diversity, equity and inclusion in all its forms.
