For years, the business world prioritised profit over social responsibility. Today's new breed of business managers care about the social impact of business decisions. They are innovative, entrepreneurial thinkers who focus on driving growth for good.
Curious about the long game? As a general manager, your people-before-profits leadership style will shine, as you drive an entire organisation to achieve strategic goals. By the time you rise to this role, you'll likely have an MBA and at least five years of industry experience.
With 28,200 new business management jobs projected until 2026, it's the right time to get down to business.*
Fancy yourself as a business development manager? You'll spend your days evaluating sales performance and identifying growth opportunities. Maybe an ICT business analyst? You'll solve information communications technology issues and drive change with your expert knowledge. As a management or organisation analyst, you’ll help businesses improve systems, methods, and procedures.
By the time you get to the big chair - chief operations officer - you'll be leading the entire organisation to success, with a focus on people, the planet, and profits. In this rewarding career path, you can lead the way in any industry, from the public sector and not-for-profit, to government and more!
