Cambrian Executive is a veteran-owned consultancy based in Adelaide, working at the intersection of business development, defence strategy and space innovation. Supporting clients from multinational primes to ambitious SMEs, the business is founder-led, agile and rapidly growing. To sustain this growth, Cambrian required a Project Support Officer to strengthen operations and client delivery, while also supporting future scalability. The role called for an operations-focused professional who could thrive in a dynamic, founder-led environment.
TESS Search Partners identified Chelsea Sharp as the ideal fit. Chelsea brought proven experience in operational leadership, client management and stakeholder engagement through her work at Allsportz Australia and Smith & Caughey’s in New Zealand. She had overseen teams, managed bookings and invoicing, ensured compliance and delivered tailored client engagement. Chelsea was successfully appointed as Project Support Officer, Operations & Client Delivery. In this role, she will partner closely with the founders, ensuring smoother operations, stronger client engagement and scalable systems.
This placement showcases TESS Search Partners’ ability to match technical requirements with cultural alignment and long-term potential. Chelsea’s appointment strengthens Cambrian’s operational capability and positions both the business and the candidate for future success.
